    Smeltzer, a Jersey Boy, has saved the rotation. What happened to Smith, was his early success just a mirage? Correa has come up big in these games, I wish they could work something out.
  2. Monticore
    Thornburg.
  3. Monticore
    No one's cost more games than Duffey.
  4. Monticore
    The division is ripe for the taking. If he had been left in...yesterday would've been an absolutely devastating loss. There's some room for sentiment, so put him on the IL.

    A sigh of relief he brought Moran in to get the last out. Another nice job by Cotton. For a ragdoll team put together with spit and tobacco - they did pretty well.
  6. Monticore
    Cotton's changeup was sub-orbital, did a nice job.
  7. Monticore
    Good win. Good to get Smeltzer a W after his terrific start the last time out.

    When you have to turn to Pagan to be the Calm At The Centre Of The Storm...you know you're in trouble.
  9. Monticore
    Would it have killed him to have Smeltzer pitch the 8th? Why did he leave Duffy in after the first 2 hits? After last night's bases loaded futility, why not bunt a runner in this time?
  10. Monticore
    Correa is an impeccable shortstop. A true leader.
  11. Monticore
    Pagan picked the team up, Thielbar too. Nice ph by Garlick.

    Catching the game on *GameDay, I suspected that strike 3 to Arreaz in the 8th was a bad call, didn't know about the others until later. Terrific character building W.
  13. Monticore
    Pagan is frightening.
  14. Monticore
    Works counts, gets hits, Arreaz is under-rated. Good to see Correa back, Sanchez hitting, Gray settling down. Should've been a sweep.
  15. Monticore
    Winder should've been pulled after the leadoff walk. Paeans to Baldelli's brilliance are besides the point.

    The only one I ever "hated" was Gardenhire. I didn't like the fact that he kept a picture of Steinbrenner in his office, and that with several excellent teams - he never won spit. And, he seemed thick. TK wasn't Immanuel Kant, either, but he was a very canny baseball manager, and got his teams ready for the playoffs. Wouldve preferred they had retained Molitor.
  17. Monticore
    He has been managing better. Closing with Duffy was counter-intuitive, but, hey, it worked Pulling Archer was sensible, liked the bunt.
  18. Monticore
    Good psychology putting Ryan out there for the 6th. He and the team needed a comeback start and stretching him out to 100+ to get it done restores confidence.
  19. Monticore
    No faith in Archer. Maybe it's just the results, but there seems to be something wrong with his mental approach. Like he has other things on his mind besides pitching well.
  20. Monticore
    What's Buxton's hip injury status? Is he going on the IL like Correa? Larnach? Arreaz?
  21. Monticore
    Another otiose risp, another W. Encouraged to see Gray put up 4 zeroes, good to see Duran's 6 out save.
  22. Monticore
    0 for 10 with risp and they somehow still win by the skin of their teeth. Pagan's 28 pitch tightrope over the volcano feat in stark contrast to Joe Smith's 6 pitch 1-2-3 master class.
  23. Monticore
    Winnable game. The team showed real character. But, Baldelli's will o' the wisp foolishness took the wind out of the sails of the team. Why would he slot another inning for a pitcher (Bundy) whose day it clearly was not? It made no logical sense. It was delusional, pernicious, jejeune. If you lack the requisite common sense to know when a pitcher is done for the day - you shouldn't be an MLB Manager. They admirably fight back from an 0-6 hole in the very next frame, and then the fey manager instantly douses the team spirit and kills the momentum with a vain hope.
  24. Monticore
    Thielbar and Duffy were aces. Jeffers is living up to genuine expectations.
  25. Monticore
    Joe Smith is remarkable. Duran looks like he's playing catch. Precision aplomb.
