  1. Not out of this yet, but really need to go on a run sooner rather than later or we're in trouble.
  2. 90 MPH pitches right down the middle have a tendency to get crushed.
  3. All that crap is so dumb. I wish some commissioner would just issue a 2 month suspension for the next guy who does it and finally put an end to it once and for all. They're so hypocritical about it. All this "let the kids play" stuff, and the first chance they get to make a real statement about it, it's the usual 5 game suspension, which for a starter is basically no suspension. About the only way to put an end to it once and for all is either what you said, or go ahead and charge the next guy who admits to headhunting with criminal assault charges, neither of which they will do.
  4. A lot of things have really gone wrong this year -- Aguilar, Shaw, Cain all in big slumps, Burnes didn't work out so far in the rotation, Freddy Peralta ERA over 6, no Nelson yet, and we'd still host a playoff game if the season ended today.
  5. The automated strike zone would have rung up Grandal just as emphatically. He had no case.
  6. Don't agree. Fingers looked over the top of the base to me before they actually touched the base and looked like the tag occured during that lapse in time.
  7. It's becoming more clear that the "guys in New York" are really nothing more than a few dudes arguing over cigars and brandy for a few minutes until the loudest voice eventually wins. It's a flipping joke. There was NOTHING to overturn an out call there. In fact if you want to say it was "inconclusive" I probably would have guessed on the side of him being out. It's a joke of a call and joke of a system, we really have almost every single inconclusive call go against us no matter what the ruling on the field was.
  8. What an absolutely bogus overturn, but I'd expect no less from the MLB replay system.
  9. I never understood the point of throwing over to first when you're way down in the count and just going to walk him over to 2nd anyway.
  10. I don't think we'll see it right away, but eventually: 1) Cain 2) Yelich 3) Hiura 4) Moustakas 5) Grandal 6) Braun/Gamel 7) Aguilar/Thames 8) Arcia
  11. I mean I know you are being sarcastic and this isn't the point here (quite excited for Keston myself!), but to be honest, yes. If Keston never goes back down and graduates from the prospect list, it's a pretty bad system. Turang probably becomes our top prospect. Close between Lutz and Ray for #2. There's some excitement for pitching talent in a couple years with Rassmussen and Ashby but nothing real close other than Brown who is struggling. It's definitely a system entering a "rebuild" phase, but that's okay. It becomes a little trickier making deadline deals for rentals, though.
  12. And there are plenty of examples in recent history on the other end of the spectrum that dominate MLB pitching early in their career. Bellinger, Soto, Acuna, further back obviously Braun. Even our last "great" 2B prospect, Brett Lawrie, had a dominant rookie year after the trade. Just because it doesn't happen every time doesn't mean Hiura can't do it.
  13. That and a second consecutive game of having a runner on 3rd with nobody out and somehow not driving him in.
  14. Andy Fletcher has been in the league 20 years and has only worked 1 single playoff game. No real mystery as to why.
  15. I don't think any offense is well suited for that. I don't think many pitchers are well suited to pitch in that. Like you said, its the same for both sides.
  16. We tend to overrate our reliever prospects, myself included. Barnes, Williams, Houser...sometimes these guys are just guys.
  17. Unreal to have the inning end with the bat on your shoulders with a man on 3rd in a 1 run game. Jesus has had a nice game statistically, terrible game mentally.
  18. I'll never understand why guys look back on those plays or anything like it. So many guys do it on steals. Why? It accomplishes absolutely nothing positive. You are taught in little league not to do it.
  19. What a brutal inning. 1st and 3rd no one out and you get squat. Turning on Raps/6ers for awhile after that one.
  20. Probably would have been helpful if you were sprinting toward the plate and didn't look back at Baez like 3 times, Jesus. Cripes.
  21. Uh, just because it hit in fair territory once in the infield doesn't make it a fair ball.
  22. Moose is having a brutal series. You can't squander this chance.
