[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Mid count, whatever

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

how did it get to this

[bighat]

 

Gibby nowhere near the zone right now.

 

Time to go get 'em.

 

A loss on a day when you get to de Grom is too deflating to worry about Gibby's ego.

[Blake]

 

Cool, Mr. Gibson may go 5.

Wow, got that one wrong. Darn it.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I think at no point did any of us ever feel “he’s gonna turn this around” tonight.

 

 

Edit: correction, I still had faith in him in the 2nd inning

[hybridbear]

Why Hildy here against a lefty? Why not Rogers to come in to this key situation with the bases loaded against a lefty? There may be more high leverage situations later, but I’d hope this is the biggest spot & I’m not sure I trust Hildy...

I'd have gone Rogers as well. Not sure what the mindset was...but I think Gibby went downhill too fast to get Rogers up. Hildy was ready.

[PDX Twin]

OK, Eddie. Scare me half to death.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Hildy!!!!!

for the record, I agreed with you

 

But obviously they used “analytics” and got out of the inning by using Hildy

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

He would have it no other way!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

SCHOOP!!!

[Nine of twelve]

There's the reason Rocco put him in the lineup tonight.

[PDX Twin]

Schoop-ed that one out in a hurry!

[PseudoSABR]

WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT!!

[bighat]

Oh Schoop!

 

I feel terrible for criticizing him so harshly! Great HR buddy!

[operation mindcrime]

Schoop a doop!!!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Or, as my autocorrect wants me to say...

 

SCHOOL!!!

[hybridbear]

I’m surprised the ball is flying out of the park tonight like this in the cold weather.

[LaBombo]

 

 

A] If Schoop can play good D and eventually get the bat going by the time one or two other hitters inevitably cool off, then I'm not gonna worry.

 

B] If the D isn't there and he's still scuffling along with a sub-.300 slugging average at the end of May... then I think I'll be schooped out.

 

Schooperman ditches kryptonite batting helmet, opts for Plan A.

[PDX Twin]

Max hasn't hit his HR yet ...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Heck, with Cron batting I still might double switch out Schoops spot..

[bighat]

Okay bullpen, let's do this.

[Nine of twelve]

Doubt Rocco will double switch. Pitcher's spot comes up 8th next inning.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Okay bullpen, let's do this.

file under: no truer words...

[drock2190]

Dick talking about relievers getting wins. I thought for sure he would mention Jesse Crain. He had 12 wins in 2005 with a K per 9 of 2.82.

[hybridbear]

Is there any option to teach Cruz to play 1B or any other position?

[Blake]

 

OK, Eddie. Scare me half to death.

Better than mostly to death.

[drock2190]

The 1st baseman hits under .500 once and people are looking to replace him. Sheesh

[Blake]

 

Gibson just constantly in trouble tonight.

His mom needs to have a chat with him about his behavior.
