    On a positive note, I love watching Ryan when he's on. Quick work up and down the lineup.
  2. SwainZag
    Agreed. I have no problem with playing the matchups, but wasting two players after 1 inning is just insane.
  3. SwainZag
    JFC....what are you doing Taylor?
  4. SwainZag
    Now, no AK too. I get the platoon system, but pinch hitting in the 2nd inning is pretty ridiculous.
  5. SwainZag
    Another 3 or 4 runs would suffice
  6. SwainZag
    Pinch hitting in the 2nd? Something has to be wrong with Julien right?
  7. SwainZag
    There's your aggressive base running

    I will add, no manager/front office of a .500 team is going to get fired less than half way through the season, when their realistic expectation before the year was winning 85-88 games. Things are rocky right now, but unless they fall 10+ games under .500, I really don't see any mid-season changes, at least to the manager and front office.
  9. SwainZag
    Not a pretty sight from the top half of the order, that's for sure.

    Julien COULD be charged with 3 errors tonight. Love the bat potential but man he's rough in the field.
  11. SwainZag
    All people have done is complain about Julien and Kiriloff not in the lineup against LHP. Rocco finds a way to get them both in the lineup, and they both make mistakes. But we want to look at the manager to blame? How is the manager always seemingly at fault? The hitting is abysmal, but both of those plays in the field should be fairly routine.
  12. SwainZag
    Well considering they had 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and the 2-3-4 hitters coming up and only scored 1 run is a slight win.
  13. SwainZag
    Pablo could use a big K here

    Joey Votto making his season debut for the Reds tonight. With him back at first base, Spencer Steer will make his 4th appearance this season in LF. Outside of the 24 innings he has played there this season, he had exactly one game in the OF in his minor league career. Curious to see how this works out.

    I believe the Twins starters average the most innings per start in the majors this year. Can you point out the several times Rocco has pulled starters too early this year? It's easy to say Sonny would "settle down" and qualify for the win last night. He hadn't located pitches all night, what's to think that after 80 pitches he was going to find it? Hindsight is so 20/20 on this topic as well. Pull a guy after 6 shutout innings and 87 pitches and the bullpen does their job? Manager is a genius. Leave a guy in after 6 shutout innings and promptly gives up a walk, hit and a go ahead 3 run homer? Manager is an idiot.

    Rosario's line since leaving the Twins: 902 PA. .242/.286/.407. Good for 87 OPS+ Trevor Larnach in that same time period: .658 PA. .222/.315/.376. Good for 93 OPS+

    Weren't there posters who said this all off season? Gray speaking out after being pulled early after 1 poor start doesn't mean he wants off the team.
  18. SwainZag
    I love that Gray is a bulldog and doesn't want to come out of games. I also watched the game, watch Gray have little to no control over his breaking pitches, watch him walk 3 subpar hitters in the 4th and see 4 of the last 5 balls put in play against him were over 92 MPH. Moran giving up 3 runs in the 5th doesn't change the fact it seemed like a good idea to replace Gray after 4.
  19. SwainZag
    Looks like they just want to make it dramatic again..... hopefully
  20. SwainZag
    Pagan mowing them down....just like normal. Right? Guys..?
  21. SwainZag
    If a guy doesn't have it, he doesn't have it. Why keep it going? He was missing badly on all his breaking pitches and was obvious had a difficult time controlling the fastball. Even if you thought he should get to start the 5th, but come on, the worst pitching move you have ever seen? So it's a good idea to remove Castro who made a mistake but not another player who is obviously struggling?
  22. SwainZag
    I really think Lewis needs to take a few deep breaths. He seems overly jumpy at the plate swinging at way too many pitches and rushing things in the field. I have confidence in him, but needs to slow it down a touch.
  23. SwainZag
    Moran obviously didn't get it done there in the 4th, but I have a hard time defending Gray. He seemingly didn't have control over any of his pitches tonight.
  24. SwainZag
    Welcome back Buck! I have a good feeling about tonight's game.
  25. SwainZag
    If Buck is ready to come off the IL, what else do you do? Your only real other options are cutting someone.
