If at first you don't succeed... Who's fault is it?   Yes.   The line ups seem to be...up. Fancy that.   So i thought maybe i'd make up for my earlier mistake, maybe even get the drop on someone.   Th

These off-days this early in the season gotta be hard for the players to find their rhythm, but it's damn near impossible for us fans to get into a grove, too! I've got no beer in the fridge, I still

Side note: Saw that Hunter Greene (the #2 pick behind Lewis in the 2017 draft) will undergo Tommy John surgery. Unfortunate for the kid and the Reds organization. I point this out because the Twins we

Horrible throw home. Swinging at low and outside. Is the Buxton honeymoon fading? Berrios looks like a #4 today.

That throw home from Buxton was just a hail mary. That guy was going to score 99 times out of 100, nothing more he could do there.

Seriously? Nothing.... like a professional ball player with a great arm being on target, late or not? I totally disagree there. A bad throw is a bad throw. He wasn't even that deep. I guess I just hope for better performances as a standard.

Berrios is pitching well enough to keep the game close and the pitch count down. I am definitely not complaining.

Agreed. Lot's of #4s win games. Certainly he is not as special as he can be. Observing is not complaining in my book.

Dude, nobody in the majors is going to throw out a tagging speedster on a play to home on that fly ball. We all are hoping Buxton plays better but that play doesn't illustrate his weaknesses.

 

The strikeout with 2 on and 2 out, on the other hand...

Perfect examples of why I distrust defensive metrics in this game. Merrifield will get killed by the metrics for missing that pop up, that if Hamilton catches he gets extra points. Kepler missed a couple this year that he caught last year. Rosario gets little credit for his fire hose while Gordon will prolly win another gold glove for potentially costing his team a run with a less than 100% approach on single to left.
