    Cannot lump all these guys in the same category and handle with kid gloves.... be smart, skip a start here and there, but let him finish the season to build up to no restrictions next season.

    Matthews, the pen, and some solid defense gave them a shot to get a win in the series Monday night, however the vaunted offense was not up to the task against there #5 starter and his 5 plus era. My guess is Ryan will have a nice game, but much like Monday the offense won't do him any favors. Great, Ryan out again.... .500 and the WC is a pipe dream.

    I just can’t believe this is one of the highest scoring offenses in baseball. And there you go… tie game

    Another defensive miss, how can they not turn that DP, the guy running to first was pulling a wagon…. awful defense and obviously not an error, but extends the inning and pitch count.

    I cannot believe we are back to the Wallner discussion…. the guy has been given more rope than he should have. He’s been one of the worst defenders in the league when playing RF and one of the worst bats over the last year. We don’t need him as a LH DH. Larnach and Wallner on the same team is roster malpractice… Larnach has earned his spot. Even if Larnach was traded I wouldn’t bring him up. Call up Roden, send back Fedko and if Wallner continues to hit you might get a Lawerence type of reliever in return.

    I enjoy great defense…. and agree, it often is the catalyst for some offense.
  7. hitterscount
    Beautiful DP.
  8. hitterscount
    Lauer has his ERA under 5…. is that good?
  9. hitterscount
    Especially 91 mph pitches at the belt in the middle of the plate

    Again, you should learn where the ball goes there in 8th grade. The fact Martin is a major league outfielder is amazing.
  11. hitterscount
    We really are into walking the leadoff hitter… biggest crowd of the year? Nice to see butts in seats
  12. hitterscount
    Should’ve clarified, minor league stats… double checked, not great…. did have a good k/rate.
  13. hitterscount
    This guy wasn’t exactly lights out at AAA, swinging at pretty much every pitch makes his life a little easier.
  14. hitterscount
    Nice AB Buck…
  15. hitterscount
    Seizmore working with Larnach is looking like a success. His jumps are noticeably better and he’s more athletic than I realized.
  16. hitterscount
    The old infield in strategy in the second inning……
  17. hitterscount
    Soft tosser that cannot throw strikes, bad combo.
  18. hitterscount
    Wasn’t able to watch last night, sounds like another frustrating performance…. especially coming after the sweep and getting closer to .500…… you can’t win every game, however there is zero excuse for not hustling and putrid defense, there will be batting slumps but not fielding the ball at a MLB level shouldn’t be happening this late in the season.

    I hear what you're saying.... however this isn't high school ball. Defense is important, given teams extra outs doesn't win games... extending innings through poor defense adds to pitch counts, extra AB’s, extra runs, and often losses. The opposite is true from playing better than average defense. Keaschall just needs to be average, making the plays that should be made. The same was true for Lee at SS and Wallner, who was so bad in RF he should never be put in that position again, at least for this organization. Expecting competent defense isn't piling on, it's what should be expected . Lee has become that defensively at 3rd, I would give Keaschall another month or two but he needs to make the basic plays.... which why is somewhat surprising with how athletic he is. Hopefully he can turn it around.
  20. hitterscount
    That’s a kick to the balls…. 1 out for qualifying for the W
  21. hitterscount
    They battled.... not much else to say. This BP is a joke, starting pitching has dug some deep holes early, however it wouldn't matter if the starters were given the team QS's, if you don't have a 4 run lead, at minimum, there is 1-2 guys that would have the ability to hold and close.... that's being generous. Get Culpeper up, Jeffers back and hope Royce is still playable at that point and they could be entertaining.
  22. hitterscount
    Not so sure guys with the cardinal hats are looking for a rally, just a thought.
  23. hitterscount
    If only they could figure out how to build the easiest part of a team we might have 5-6 more wins which would have them setting around.500. …. although we are not done dancing yet.
  24. hitterscount
    Well that just about ended any comeback hopes, trying to pull a ball about a foot off the plate.
  25. hitterscount
    Yep, BP’s are easy to piece together.
