We need some quality ABs.

call a spade a spade, the vets need to be vets. Hoskins' 8 pitch walk is something good to see.

To be fair that HR did come off a RHP. He started the season 1-15 prior to that at bat.

Not saying, just saying.

Good point

It does seem odd that Mitchell got a night off against a right handed pitcher but is back in there against one of the league’s best lefties

Scheduled days off for Yelich makes sense.

It does. And this is a small nitpick by me. But why use a utility guy as a DH and not give Churio, for example, a DH day? Make it at least a spot to rest an everyday guy and Collins can play corner OF

[RobertCrawley]

Ortiz overmatched by the fastball.

I think it's because they are curious about Collins' defense. He's hot with the bat so give him the bat and they will slow his way to a rotational spot. Just a thought though.

My guess is that he wants to use Yelich to PH for Collins...although he could still do that and make Yelich play the field for an inning or two....

Sometimes Rock is a really good color buy. Sometimes he is less than really good.

Like the rest of us.

10 in a row for Freddy!! love to see it.

like how I allowed my spell check to correct Rock to Brock and I had to edit it like a nube? yeah I get it... 😂

[Bulldogboy]

Given the construction of the roster I don't see how this team is ever going to hit left hand pitching. Frelick and Mitchell are kinda overkill. Love to move one of them for a righty bat if able. 

[RobertCrawley]

Action Jackson. Let's go!

Robots.

[TheIrrelevantWriter]

That guy's fast. like so fast he makes fast guys look not so fast.

[RobertCrawley]

I don't know. Something's off about Contreras' swing.

It looks like he's lunging? Not a comfortable look. 

[Underachiever]

Contreras can win the batting title with that .384 OPS. Yikes

rolled over on one..

[jay87shot]

At least they likely got Ragans out og the game after 5 (97 pitches I think). Hopefully Freddy can get us 2 more, I like our chances with Ragans out.

My slow pitch softball career was marked by rollovers to short. I finally gave in and asked for number 63, since that was what was written next to my name on the scorecard.

The name of the game is get them to their bullpen.

Don't feel too bad, I used to call 3 feet closer to the bag my "sweet spot" as my reasoning for making the shortstop miss.

Fastball Freddy: Over/Under 5.5 Ks/2.5 ERs this outing? Personally, I'm going over on Ks, under ERs. I think we get to see some real potential today.

DUDE DUDE DUDE it's happening!
