    oh goodie...Colome... that should mean at least 2 runs we need to score in the bottom half.

    I'm just here to vent

    The solution here may be related to the Donaldson/Buxton article earlier... If neither of these two can consistently stay healthy then maybe the solution is to have them platoon DH, and however isn't DHing on gameday is playing their normal position. That means we have to carry an additional infielder and outfielder (or a super utility that can play either).

    Both are a concern. The history of nagging injuries has made it so that we should assume that each will be out for extended periods during the season. At some point you need to look at alternatives... my concern is that we end up with another David Ortiz situation.

    at least for the central, we finished 5-5 against Chicago and KC, and had wining records against Det and Cleveland. Yes they were upgraded teams, but we took care of business. What i have to wonder is what changed during the season after we started so hot (relatively) on offense.

    Having had the benefit of being able to watch a significant amount of baseball (still less than I would like, but more than I normally would have in a regular season) I had a lot to watch and not rely on box scores. What my eyes and brain tell me is that the hitting coach situation has to be addressed. The #s back up the fact that this was a major regression across the team, and with Falvey & Co. so driven by analytics I have to think that this is the very first change that they make.

    Hernandez and Varela need to be gone as the hitting coaches after this flaccid hitting at the the end of the season.
  8. HokieRif
    whatever analytics were done to prepare for this series I have to think they were done wrong.

    Which version of Rogers are we going to get today?

    damn it Rosie...

    its not like these guys are seeing these borderline strikes for the first time... if its close its going to get called
  14. HokieRif
    FFS Kepler... you can't look at that pitch go by
  15. HokieRif
    Tim K. calling out our 0-8 with RISP saying we need a "BIG" hit.... i would settle for just a "hit"
  16. HokieRif
    Rosie already looks like we've lost...
  17. HokieRif
    not optimistic the offense is going to show-up. I have faith that Berrios can keep them at bay for a while, but we need a lot more than 1 run today.
  18. HokieRif
    need to make them pay for the extra out....
  19. HokieRif
    I get the bullpen frustrations, but this game is all to blame on the offense. You cannot expect to win any game with 2 3 hits in a ballgame, and consistently fail to score runners in scoring position. I'm frustrated with Romo, but the whole offense needs a pep talk.

    Kolarek was the pitcher of record when the Dodgers took the lead for good. The important part there is “for good” - even though the Padres continued scoring beyond the runs that had accumulated while Kolarek was still in he was the listed pitcher at the point where the dodgers never gave up a lead. Had he not been brought in Graterol would have been given the W.

    Getting to Bieber early...
  24. HokieRif
    I'm shocked (and glad) the rest of the league hasn't picked up on this... Dont. Run. On. Rosie.

    long-time lurker, first time poster Whats the prognosis for 3B the remainder of the season assuming Donaldson doesn't get back? Continue the platoon approach? Or is there any consideration of moving Sano back on a permanent basis?
