    My goodness, we are just punchless today.
  2. adambr2
    Wow, not only did Mitchell make that play but he actually made it look relatively easy even though you could clearly see on replay that it wasn't.
  3. adambr2
    Frustrating to consistently struggle this much against Mikolas. He hasn't been good in years, but we can't solve him.
  4. adambr2
    This homeplate umpire is a sucker for a good frame job.
  5. adambr2
    I said this in yesterday's GT, but one can think Murphy does a good job in general and still openly disagree with some things he does. It's not wrong to state dissenting opinions. Plenty of folks would assemble this lineup differently.
  6. adambr2
    Does Mitchell have any other AB results besides "struck out looking"?
  7. adambr2
    That's an explanation for today's lineup, though. Not every game.
  8. adambr2
    Yeesh. That was about the ugliest goose egg that you'll see a pitcher put up, but I'll take it.
  9. adambr2
    Freddy is pitching a lot like Tobias yesterday. Surviving, but laboring. Not good command and falling behind every hitter.

    Ortiz Chourio Contreras Adames Mitchell/Perkins Hoskins Turang Haase/Sanchez/Perkins Frelick Seems fine to me. Or swap Chourio/Ortiz.

    Someone who understands this stuff better than me please answer this: why does the catcher always get the credit/blame for calling a good/bad game, when the pitcher can just shake them off until he gets the pitch he wants anyway?
  12. adambr2
    The problem is, without Yelich we don't have any good left handed hitters, and we're putting the majority of them near the top of the order where they get the most ABs.
  13. adambr2
    That 2-0 pitch to Frelick was a called strike. Not sure why the broadcast guys didn't even mention it much less call out how brutal it was.
  14. adambr2
    It honestly isn't even about his overall numbers. It's not that I don't think he can be a good hitter. It's a lot of low IQ at-bats where he just needs to put the ball in play to score runs and he doesn't seem to understand the situation and it costs us. Sure I'd be frustrated if these K's were swinging instead of looking, but I wouldn't be accusing him of bad mental baseball.
  15. adambr2
    I like his upside well enough, but his ABs make him look like a mental midget who isn't a student of the game. You're in a run producing spot in the lineup and you have a chance to drive in runs and you're caught guessing. Over and over and over again. Know the situation and swing the bat.
  16. adambr2
    Brutal AB by Mitchell. Brutal. You can NOT be in a run producing spot in the lineup and watch Strike 3 with a runner on 3rd and 1 out. He has done this REPEATEDLY.
  17. adambr2
    Devin was very PC about it, but yeah, he was gassed. Murphy admitted he pulled Devin too late, so I'm glad to see some degree of accountability.
  18. adambr2
    I thought he did a great job of battling through last night. I thought tonight the fatigue was showing and it was a great example of going to the well one too many times.
  19. adambr2
    Uh, yeah? One of those pitches is even close to being a strike. The others are missing by plenty. There wasn't a single strike thrown in either of the last two ABs. Are we really arguing that Devin wasn't that erratic because his pitches were only missing by 5-6 inches rather than 1-2 feet? He didn't have it. I don't understand why you're so determined to argue otherwise.
  20. adambr2
    He didn't throw a single strike to Pham or Carpenter. He had one pitch in each AB that was even close. He had completely lost it. It had nothing to do with the calls he was getting. He didn't get a close call to Nootbar and then got a call on Goldschmidt or it would have been 4 walks in a row. He did not get incorrectly squeezed on one ball call the entire inning. Not one. The umpire was a complete non factor to Devin's inning other than gifting him Strike 3 to Goldschmidt.
  21. adambr2
    But he is overworked. He's pitched in 5 games in the last week. He's averaged over 16 pitches per outing. He is still just a month removed from returning from a major injury. I don't know how you could not think that all of those things aren't likely contributing factors to him not being able to find the strike zone by the 5th outing in a short time frame.
  22. adambr2
    Tobias Myers did not have his best control or his best stuff tonight. Devin Williams couldn't even find the strike zone. There's a big difference.
  23. adambr2
    I don't have a problem with Devin being allowed to work out of a jam in October. I have a problem with Devin being forced to work out of a jam when he's clearly fatigued and overworked pitching in 5 out of the last 6 games when it's clearly affecting him and there are other options available.
  24. adambr2
    And it's ok to say it and also think that he's obviously done a good job this year. These things are not mutually exclusive.
  25. adambr2
    Unless things have totally changed since the BF days, you've been here long enough to know that this isn't a board that you can just say "you're all a bunch of babies" and have it be cool.
