Oh look...a clutch hit for Braunie.....

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

That was a terrific AB by Braun. Very patient, although it did look like he couldn't quite get around on a pitch or two that were right in his wheelhouse. Still, he stayed alive until Bailey hung one, and he got enough of it to squib a hit.

Yikes Chase...

[jason21nl]

Well that works

[rickh150]

Say Arcia plays 8 or 9 out of 10 games. How much does starting Moose or Shaw at SS hurt you for 1-2 games out of 10?

 

Hard to quantify......in any game a crucial play that isn't made could be the difference......or not......I just don't think they are going to be comfortable double switching without a true backup SS.......but we will see.

 

I'm all for starting Moose at SS and Shaw at 3B. Get a lead and make defensive changes late.

[KeithStone53151]

Does Grisham swing at the 1st pitch he sees?

[OldHeidelberg]

That shaw at bat didn't look too good on gamecast

[Fear The Chorizo]

Rock should just do his promo reads during the next Shaw AB to see which one ends first

It really was. He took the garbage. HE defended the plate on a pitch that could have been a strike and it worked.

 

If he keeps that up he'll go on a tear.

[HarveysWBs]

My goodness, Shaw looks like he’s completely lost and expects to fail. His head is all wrong.

[sveumrules]

Does Grisham swing at the 1st pitch he sees?

 

I'll say no, unless he really likes it.

[KeithStone53151]

That shaw at bat didn't look too good on gamecast

 

It was bad. The 3rd strike swinging on a pitch outside AND in the dirt...unreal. Hard to imagine him contributing this year...

[MoreTrife]

Boy Shaw is just confused and lost. That strike 3 swing was just a terrified swing.

[TJseven7]

must see baseball... come on grish

[PinaMadness]

Grisham's first step toward Cooperstown coming up.

Flyout - He's no Griffey

[HarveysWBs]

Huh, not sure what Grisham was looking for. He got too low-90’s fastballs middle in, and offered at neither. Well, at least the seal is broken.

[KeithStone53151]

This guy sucks, send him down...

[folly412]

SEND HIM DOWN!

 

 

*Shaw, that is

[TJseven7]

That does a great job at identifying Brauns problem. Edited August 1, 2019 by TJseven7

[TigerUppercut]

SEND HIM DOWN!

 

 

*Shaw, that is

 

Really disappointing that his bid for back to back cycles is likely over in the 2nd inning.

[HarveysWBs]

And not to nitpick the guy, but Grisham’s route to that pop up was, shall we say, circuitous?

[PinaMadness]

WOW! He made those fly balls look so effortless! Move over, Cain. Grisham for Gold Glove!!!
