Polanco was greatly missed that first half. He is a real spark plug in this offense.

Drink would also be an acceptable replacement for swear in this comment.

He faced 4 batters and threw 16 pitches, 4 pitches per batter doesn’t seem out of line. He just has gotten no leash at all, so he must feel like he has to be perfect. That’s a lot of pressure to have to pitch under.

16 pitches. 0 swings and misses.

Like me, you are clearly a fan of consistency.

Is Magill still on the roster?

 

What's with teh crazy talk? Next you'll be claiming this game is only in the 6th inning.

Can we please have Moya over Rogers?

Uh, no. I like Moya, but he's had a hard time in the majors and Rogers has been pretty solid.

Robbie's bat has come to life in the last couple weeks. I still don't think he's much more than a bench bat but he's no longer a DFA candidate in my book.

 

With all of these hitters rebounding, I wonder if this is bad news for Morrison when he gets back.

Wow, this guy has a low ERA, but he looks like a whole meat shop.

 

And that delivery- like the hesitation step from the Coldstream frickin' Guards...

Probably, but my guess is that what will turn out to be the worse news for Morrison is that his 2017 ISO of .270 was not only his career year for power, but also a pretty big fluke. That's coming from someone who at least sort of liked the signing.

 

If he gets AB's, his BA and OBP will probably rebound to near 2017 levels when his BABIP overcomes some first half bad luck. But his 2018 ISO of .174 is much closer to his career mark of .187 than to his stellar 2017 plateau of .270, and power is pretty much his only marketable baseball skill, sooooopp...
