Braun's having a nice year. Gyorko too. Yelich and Hiura are still a long ways off from what their normal should be. Curious on what Hiura's normal "should be." Lots of people annointing him as an All Star level player here, very little evidence to support it both in the field and at the dish. There's actually an enormous amount of evidence to support it at the dish. He's hit at every level he's ever been at including a .938 OPS at this level last year. His bat was never in question. We all know he's not a guy who is going to strike out in a third of his ABs.

Claudio has to be the least enjoyable member of the bullpen to watch.

I swear any day that I talk crap about Orlando Arcia he does something big that day.

If any player needs a hitting coach, it's Keston.

I'll take it, but that was an awful call.

It's funny. I could go back and find posts from 30 days ago where posters here were feeling really good about the Urias acquisition, labeling him a potential superstar and while I'm not counting him out just yet, that alone should be a lesson for the flavor of the week crowd. Same applied for Houser after his first 2 starts this year. We tend to overrate our own.

Useless seems a bit harsh. It was a bad AB and he’s having a rough stretch. It sucks, but I get the feeling at times were making a lot of (inaccurate) sweeping conclusions over two months of baseball. You're right, that's harsh. I hope he comes around. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I've been disappointed. I don't get that same sense of excitement as when Hiura came up.
-
Urias is useless...Nottingham...? Much better than I expected..
-
Seriously? Couldn't score on that?
-
Duffy in trouble. Need a big inning.
-
Alright, I think I'd rather watch reruns of Seinfeld than this.
-
Nottingham is the one player who seems to give a crap about winning this game.
-
I was trying to decide between a long Island and a margarita tonight. Looks like I won't have to choose.
-
That throw back into the infield by Braun reminded me of the catcher on my Little League team who would roll the ball back to the mound.
-
Fun fact: a Brent Suter interview and 3 Brewer strikeouts last the exaxt same amount of time.
-
We have a Tom at work that insists on going by "Tommy."
-
May as well take that mask off if you're not going to cover your schnoz with it, Matheny.
-
Wow is Gyorko slow.
-
It's too bad because Houser has some promise but boy he is just not a guy who should be in our rotation. I'd rather give Peralta another shot than continue to do this every 5th game.
-
Also found it hilarious that Schildt was like, "Well I'm not blaming Braun. But it sure does look bad" (paraphrasing) Ok? So are you blaming him or not? Either you're absolutely suggesting Braun someone intentionally caused the catcher's interference or you're admitting it has nothing to do with the hitter and is just one of those things. It can't be anywhere in between. We know what you're insinuating, so have the stones to just come out and make the accusation rather than acting all cryptic about it. I lost a lot of respect for Mike Shildt this last week. Thought he was a little better than all this.
-
I don't know if it was posted, but this is what Braun said in that AB. According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, the Cardinals heard Braun complaining to home plate umpire John Bacon over a strike call. Braun specifically said, “just because [Molina] gets mad at you, you can’t call that a strike, man.” That obviously got Shildt’s blood boiling, and seeing his starting catcher get struck by a bat pushed him over the edge. You have to have some wickedly thin skin to get mad at someone saying that.
-
I'll put it this way. I'll take a guy any day who gets emotional about the game in the moment and is willing to show it over some holier-than-thou Captain Class hypocrite who acts like he's the law in regard to how everyone should act while playing the game of baseball (laws which he is, of course, above)
-
Agreed. I loved watching Gomez. And if Grisham got arrogant toward a bitter rival...whatever. We all know if one of our guys hit a bomb off Wainwright and watched it, and then Molina and Schildt started chirping and our guy did that in response, we'd love every bit of it. The bird flips and obscenities are probably a little much, but that's something for the leadership on the Padres to address with him privately. Not a huge deal.
-
Arcia is probably the closest thing to fool's gold that I've ever seen in MLB. He'll go through stretches of really having some good ABs, really showing good plate discipline, and get everyone back on his bandwagon. It's probably the main reason the organization has been so patient with him, they always think he is this tantalizingly close to breaking out. Inevitably though, he has 100% of the time reverted back to his old ways. His 76 OPS+ and -.3 WAR in 2020 suggests this year is no different. Enough is enough. He is in his 5th season, and has been one of tbe worst regulars in baseball for about 4 of them. I think enough time has passed.
