    Nice play by Clemens, still the defense is terrible…. know a bunt is coming and still can’t get an out, the WP went of his glove, unless he called for off speed you have to handle that pitch. Zero errors, but not making plays is just as important.

    Throw strikes, just cannot walk the leadoff man, didn’t work out two innings ago.

    I swear I didn’t see your post as I was writing my take on Morneau… spooky
  4. hitterscount
    It’s hard to believe Morneau was a MLB player…. and a damn good one… however some of his takes on defensive plays, swings at pitches above the shoulders are absurd.
  5. hitterscount
    Martin is good enough…. swinging at some of these pitches just makes it so much easier for him.
  6. hitterscount
    Nice AB Buck…
  7. hitterscount
    Bunt, he’s going to strikeout anyway
  8. hitterscount
    Agree 💯… I live in Wisconsin, 5 hour drive, usually make 4-5 games a year… now being retired I would happily do a couple more, however only two last year… boycotted after the Rocco extension. If they stay in contention I might make a game or two… but I just don’t see what the goal is… the roster is filled with 30 year old journeymen utility players…. I would make the drive to watch potential future fixtures, not doing it for Bell, Arcia, Kriedler, Gray, Outman, and half the BP…… sorry that play by Gray would not have been an incredible play WTF ….. you want asses in the stands field a team worthy of driving five hours for…. or get up some of the young talent.

    I am perplexed at how many players we have that struggle to be even average defensively.... currently I can't think of one position player that grades out above 50... Buxton obviously, but he's injured as much as healthy. So it's confusing that this team doesn't value defense during their evaluation, it's like 30-40 grade is good enough..... with that if Mendez keeps his offense going another 2-3 weeks get him up, not improving sitting in St. Paul.

    Thinking outside the box. I put Outman in CF , move Clemens to first and Arcia to second…. I am going to our defensive lineup, or as close to one as possible….
  11. hitterscount
    That will work
  12. hitterscount
    Once again, take a DP for a run?
  13. hitterscount
    It has to be frustrating for Ryan, you’re in the majors, you should expect major league defense. There are 3 runs that shouldn’t be on the board and probably 25-20 extra pitches. Larnach made a nice play, but that was also a ball that should be caught at this level.
  14. hitterscount
    Should have been a solo…. did Keaschall get an error on that?
  15. hitterscount
    The defense is unacceptable… Ryan working harder than needed and probably 10 extra pitches, could be one less inning because we can’t field
  16. hitterscount
    He can steal but can’t play in the field. Something doesn’t add up.
  17. hitterscount
    So desperate to score I would take the DP
  18. hitterscount
    Nothing to add to what has been voiced here. Injuries definitely hurt and I can be on board with that excuse for the SP's to a degree, otherwise injuries are part of the game and aren't exclusive to this team. We are going nowhere fast, looking at the 40 man roster I have to believe it is one of the worst in baseball.... when we are using the Alan Roden as a big injury blow you know we are screwed... a career .191 hitter with 2 hrs and 9 rbi's. I also thought Carantini's speciality was his defense.... he has no ability to throw anyone out, the Sox and Pirates ran at will. Big week coming up....7 game homestand, need to go 5-2, which isn't happening unless something changes....no idea what that might be.
  19. hitterscount
    True
  20. hitterscount
    That was a classic Wallner homer....

    At some point development stops in the minors if not being challenged by consistent competition. AAA pitchers are nowhere near as good as MLB pitchers, it’s like the G-League in basketball…. when you’ve done everything you can in the minors the overall philosophy has to be to bring them up, if there’s a need or spot to play, I don’t care about their age, it’s meaningless. I ran into brewers player from the 80’s team who is still connected to the team , we talked ball over a few beers and the topic of manipulation of players service time to maintain control….he fully believed that it does more damage than good,, when you’re performing and being held back it can have adverse effect, you can either play or you can’t… when your first big league chance comes at 25. 26 or older it put a ton of pressure on perform immediately1) to stay up 2) to be around long enough to get a contract that sets them up financially. We have players that could help this lineup, we choose not to. Watching this uninspiring lineup is depressing.

    They seemed to be playing like they at least understood the game, we are back to poor defense, suspect pitching, slow plodding base running, to many undisciplined plate appearances…. Sox and Pirates are ok, but they are toying with us and taking advantage of all of the above.
  23. hitterscount
    💯
  24. hitterscount
    Hit hard, but this strategy of bringing the infield in this early is idiotic… an out is so much more valuable than the run.
  25. hitterscount
    Just turned on, shocking.
