    Someone in another thread questioned whether Molitor ever uses a pitcher for just one batter. Hope he's watching today!

    I would have taken him out after his warmup tosses before the first inning. You can't be too careful.

    I guess Paul's nerves are now done being racked, as well.

    I'd split the difference. First guy looks like he's ready to hand down his outgrown shirt to his brother.

    Nice tie being worn by Dick Bremer this afternoon.
  6. ashbury
    Concur. You're not allowed to change key every note.
  7. ashbury
    In this case I'm not much interested in not much.
  8. ashbury
    Go on....

    Swap Recker and Wilson in Reno, and you might see crazy numbers from Bobby too.

    Seldom-seen footage of Brian in slow-motion.

    Cue the Yakkity Sax music.

    160 pound Nick Gordon is the HR jolt we need?

    My vague recollection is that his work behind the plate doesn't draw rave reviews. Discounting his limited action in 2017 played in PCL thin air, his early hitting at Rochester looks like Small Sample Size as yet, compared to his body of work compiled at AA and below. He doesn't walk a lot, to go along with the low SO rate. Maybe he's figured something out these past couple of years, but all in all my expectations for him would be very muted, if he ever gets called up.

    FTFY.

    Exaggerating the degree of incompetence doesn't strengthen the case. We're not in arctic temperatures while the rest of the league basks in sunshine. 46 degrees above zero versus 44 might be the difference in my deciding to wear shorts for a hike, especially if the forecast is for rising temperatures the rest of the day. Anyway a single incremental improvement won't move the needle, but a succession of them can, and you can't have a succession if you refuse to do the first one.

    Also, props to Byron for obviously wanting to stay in the game, despite a forehead gash that looked like it needed stitches.

    He had a bead on it. If the ball had traveled a foot less far, it was a game-saving play. I don't know if even the best judge of fly balls can pin it down to one foot - you go for it and try to make the play. I might feel differently if they were behind by 3 than with them holding a one-run lead. I would enjoy seeing a capable veteran like Torii dissect that video and maybe offer a constructive suggestion considering all factors.

    Yeah, I will always remember those two together. The thought was that if you could combine these two players' strengths you'd have a pretty darn good catcher. Unfortunately, platoons don't yet work this way. After reaching a level of batting inadequacy at AA, Turner's offense has declined to tragi-comic these past couple of years. And Garver's defense has failed to progress.

    I love the grin on any player's face when they make a wild catch like that.

    Welcome back! Au revoir!
  21. ashbury
    So then maybe a foul bunt attempt with two strikes isn't the end of the world? "What do you think of my solution?"
  22. ashbury
    Low breaking pitches can be great for drag bunts. Maybe not with two strikes, or maybe so anyway when things are this bad.... just sayin'.

  24. ashbury
    Somehow, the presence of a player on the roster is evidence to the contrary?

    Over the last 7 days, Fox's stat finder shows only Kepler with an OPS above .700. I'm not interested in knowing whether Ehire Freaking Adrianza is second or third in some Slow Mule Race. This team is just Cold at bat right now.
