I’m continually told RBI isn’t a meaningful stat……but I do notice that the best teams have guys with a lot of them

I'm at a loss for words as to why he would want to even consider that option, let alone actually do it. Last year, I could maybe justify that call, but definitely not this year.

Smalley, on 0-2: "He'll be looking at a fastball, or a slider. Or a change up."

I guess that kind of  analysis is why Roy gets the big bucks to be on TV.

I like his "The Twins haven't been helping the Atlanta starter out by swinging at his pitches out of the zone"

Right. They don't swing at pitches in the zone, either, (especially close ones with 2 strikes).

Gross again. So many strike-out's with runner's scoring position. Been  problem all year that coaches have not addressed. 

I think that too many are putting too much pressure on themselves, trying to be heroes and hit a 5-run homer than they are playing within the context of a "normal" offense.  Hence, they're swinging at most everything that appears to even be close to the strike zone, which seldom ends up in a positive result.

... Or taking too many close pitches, in an attempt to draw a walk.

That’s just not a good Jeffers at bat 

A lot of those happening tonight, up and down the lineup, sad to say.

Baby arms need to strech.  100 pitches.  3rd time through.  Crap.  

Yeah well we’re avoiding injury this way too

The booth just now realizing that the starting pitcher can’t throw 5 most every night without detriment

It's like everyone is shocked...a guy who comes up to start and has never thrown more than 92 pitches in his professional career can't give them more than 5.
