    One thing I didn’t anticipate…maybe I hadn’t thought it through…is how little we’ve seen of Jeffers…and apparently, how little we’re going to see of him. He’s looked good swinging it (1 K in 10 PA). But with Vasquez solid on both sides, and only 2 guys that can catch on active roster, Jeffers will see a lot of pine for now…can’t even PH, it looks like. I do expect him tomorrow, though.

    I think Ryan could have gone out for the 7th. But, honestly, feel like Rocco sending Ryan out for the 6th was a bit of a milestone moment. I feel like that probably doesn’t happen last year. The number of pitches thrown was fine/low…but it was the 6th inning of a tie game and Ryan was up against Alverez (3rd time, already had beaten him, etc) and the meat of their order. Nice to see Rocco showing the confidence…even nicer, getting rewarded….fly ball, K, K.

    I’m sensing that it’ll be quite some time before we have to ‘worry’ about Kirilloff coming back.

    Honestly, the best pitched game I’ve ever seen with 6 runs allowed. Ryan was great…4 baserunners in 6 innings. Got beat once by arguably the best hitter in the game. Relievers fantastic (with the one exception).

    Hero of the game… the clubhouse guy that ran back and got Duran out of the shower.

    Brantley and Altuve will make the lineup very, very good. Pitching may have taken a step back. We’ll see.
  7. jkcarew
    Oh, snap! Maybe not!
  8. jkcarew
    Pretty fun at-bat coming up in the top of the inning!
  9. jkcarew
    Probably not that way. But yes.
  10. jkcarew
    To be fair he’s been told not to run fast…or slide hard…or play defense.

    Great pitching. Really really good. This is arguably the worse home-opening lineup we've posted in a long while. Might be bottom 10 all time. Thankfully, the 'bottom' guys actually had good games, but YUK. I get the frustration with Correa...horrific game for him...but he's not close to my main concerns about the club. And, could you imaging what this lineup would have look like right now if the FO had not gotten lucky and signed him?

    Now we're rolling!! I feel a HBP or WP coming.
  13. jkcarew
    Yes...but. They're not going to let Buxton steel bases. They're just not. He barely had any attempts last year. They're taking the path that 85% of a season of Buxton doing nothing but swinging the bat out of the DH hole...is better than 40% of a season with Buxton being a really, really good baseball player.
  14. jkcarew
    It's as if Pressly has seen Buxton bat before.
  15. jkcarew
    How dare they?!!... taunting us with Pressly.
  16. jkcarew
    They will usually...especially when Altuve gets back
  17. jkcarew
    HE'S ALIIIIIVE!!!!

    BEAUTIFUL game by Gray.
  19. jkcarew
    You would hope so. But I doubt it.
  20. jkcarew
    Worked out exactly as Rocco planned. Solano isn't on 3rd to score on the wild pitch without the weak ground ball by Gordon. Game successfully tied. Then...you have nobody to pinch hit for Taylor..so the game stays tied. Air tight...don't know how you can argue that one.
  21. jkcarew
    A lefty that can hit a single if lucky...batting for the one that can hit HR if lucky. Interesting strategy...let's see how it works out for them.
  22. jkcarew
    Could PH Jeffers who is swinging it well here. But won't. Backup catcher and all. (edit: never mind...I thought they would bring in a lefty)
  23. jkcarew
    2022 Cincinnati Reds to the rescue.
  24. jkcarew
    IMO...after that inning, and considering the competition, it's easy to argue that this has been (so far) the best start yet of the season.
  25. jkcarew
    Stretch for me to read Dobnak’s name under a ‘Prospects’ header. But yes, he’s organizational depth who could find something and figure into things in 2023. As could Aaron Sánchez.
