any kind of decent runner.

Miranda ain't helpin' ya here, Chief.

[Patzky]

Hmm closer mentality means Louie is about done.

[mrtwinsfan]

Santana,  batting Lefty is his biggest weakness,  So lets lead him off , And Castro  as a R.H.  ??  RUMOR HAS HIM ABOUT 1 OR 2 OFF HIS LAST 50+ UP,   Think the guy could use a break ??  Insane line up construction all up and down 

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Just setting up the triple play...

Well you'd be wrong.

There are certainly decisions to make as a third base coach. And Watkins makes a lot of bad ones.

Not sending a runner from second on a hit to the OF is just another one. 

Not buying it, sorry.

Well that's cause you're never in a game thread. 

I'm pretty damn consistent. 

And I questioned it before results were in.

 

Also, you are pretty hard wired into a permanent "not the staff's fault, ever, in any case" mode.

[exeoud]

Castro fallen off a cliff in the second half

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Why didn't Wallner catch that?

And then why did Castro take about 7 crow hops?

[Patzky]

Amorphous strike zone tonight

And maybe they'll be easy outs in key situations again in a couple of innings

I'll take that chance, instead of them being completely out of the game in favor of the bottom of the barrel guys.

Be careful…… negativity is not welcomed here.

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Pitchers are not doing our catchers any favors being this slow to home with runners on

or at throwing to first I guess

[Patzky]

Havent seen that one for awhile.

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

holy hannah this defense 

[Aggies7]

This club is in trouble, folks.

[UpstateNewYorker]

Bad to worse.

 

[Patzky]

That's game y'all.

[notoriousgod71]

This team is dreadful.

[USAFChief]

More fantastic defense, with the "base hit" to start the inning an instigator.

[TwinsCD]

Defensive stupidity strikes again in this inning.

[exeoud]

Horrifically bad funadmental team. Just get the 2 blowouts in Baltimore or New York over with so we can move on to next year.

[MMMordabito]

Louie, Louie

[Aggies7]

Thankfully Boston can’t get their 💩 together or we’d really in trouble

[UpstateNewYorker]

There's your bunt Chief.

[Patzky]

It's almost like putting the ball in play increases the chances of scoring.

How many times must I post this:

This is an organizational philosophy.

They have stated they do not believe in slide steps. They have their catchers set up to frame, not throw. 

They believe the pitcher should focus on the hitter, not baserunners.

It's a design feature, not a flaw according to the team.
