Then you should be pretty happy with him as he's won or at least not lost a good 90 percent of his deals.
-
Cool, whatever makes it easiest for you to talk up the guys you like and complain about the ones you don't.
-
He could have still just double switched maybe Perez for Broxton instead if Pina doesn't reach. Would have been worth taking a shot.
-
Gameday uses Statcast which is supposed to be a legal display of the actual strike zone. FoxTrax does not. Once again, not the point. If Broxton had K'ed looking right there I would have had the same criticism. It's a valid critique. You don't agree that with 2nd and 3rd and 2 out, a more aggressive approach is needed given the situation? I do. But sometimes you get busted inside and K's happen. He got caught over the plate and rung up on a "ball." It happens. Wasn't a ball. Barely catching the corner counts as a strke. Trust Foxtrax if you will. Again, I've seen this from other guys, so I'm not just specifically going after Villar. It's an extreme pet peeve of mine for a guy to K in a 2 out RBI situation. I have a lot more patience for chasing there. And a lot more patience for striking out looking on a borderline 3-2 pitch when you're leading off an inning down 3. Situational baseball.
-
So Craig, you were going to put Pina in the game for Susac anyway, why in the holy hell didn't you just have him PH for Susac with the bases loaded and 2 outs?
-
Basically we have 2 pitchers at the back of our lineup.
-
It honestly is worth yanking Susac for Pina right here.

He got rung up on the same pitch you complained that Broxton got rung up on. Has absolutely nothing to do with what I'm talking about. When it happened to Broxton, there was nobody on. When It happened to Villar, it was a run scoring situation, which calls for more aggression on borderline pitches. I would say that regardless of who was up. I even criticized Broxton in my post and said he's already going to strike out plenty on his own. You don't need to defend Villar in every possible situation when the criticism is clearly warranted. And all that said, no, it wasn't the same pitch. Gameday had Broxton's clearly off the corner. Villar's caught the corner just barely on the edge, which does by the rule qualify as a strike.
-
I can't handle another speech about how this guy is a #2 starter.
-
I know Villar has been good lately but my God. You've got 2 runs sitting out there with a single, how do you take strike 3 with 2 out. Just how? Its maddening. These are the same guys that are swinging for the fences down 5 runs ahead in the count with nobody on. For crying out loud, understand the situation. How hard is it? This isn't specifically calling out Villar but numerous times I've seen that situational garbage from these guys.
-
I have more faith in Suter At least he got a bunt down. Susac is just worthless.
-
Andrew Susac has started 2 games for us and I've already seen more of him than I ever care to. He is the worst pitch framer I've ever seen, is a lousy defensive catcher and can't hit. He is awful.
-
Good news is 1st and 2nd nobody out. Bad news is Susac and Suter coming up.
-
10 feet is about half a second of running, so if the throw isn't right on he probably makes it. I've been as critical of Sedar as anyone but with 2 outs I get it. With 0 or 1 out he probably holds him.
-
Please hurry back, Chase Anderson.
-
Its one of the reasons I'm not nuts about the Walker trade. Been waiting all season for him to get it going and now that he does he's going to spend the rest of it on the bench. Now we'll have to pay a few million for Walker and in addition have no new information on whether Villar is worth investing for going forward or not. If I thought the division was winnable for us I'd probably feel differently. But I don't think it is. If I'm wrong and Neil Walker sparks us and carries us to a division title I'll happily eat crow.
-
I know Fox Trac had it off the plate but the pitch looked over the plate. Strange. And Keon went straight to the dugout. Gameday had it clearly off the plate as well. It was a pretty nice frame.
-
Broxton is getting rung up on a ridiculous amount of pitches outside the zone lately. He's going to strike out enough on his own without the umpires continuing to help out the opposing pitcher.
-
The reasons people don't like it are pretty well explained on the previous page. And I think it's obvious they gave up nothing. It's a salary dump with some organizational filler non-prospect going back. It would be extremely disappointing if they even gave up a top 30 organizational prospect.
-
The Brent Suter honeymoon is over. Soft tossing and now no command either? Yuck.
-
No, they're not.
-
And there it goes, already down 2-0.
-
I can't really explain it but there's something I just can't stand about Billy Hamilton. Honestly he's a pretty terrible hitter who has no good baseball qualities other than being really fast. Unfortunately he can never get on base to actually use that except seemingly against us.
