    Thanks for the input about some of the Cubs playing.
  2. h2oface
    Yup. So many Met games deGrom left in the 6th, 7th, or 8th, with the lead, handed to the pen, and got a ND as the pen blew up his game, but a miniscule ERA for the Cy Young season. It must have been so frustrating for him.

    Sonny Gray gets deGrom'd.
  4. h2oface
    Very true. But 5 runs in 3.2 innings?
  5. h2oface
    Well..... 4. Nope. Make that 5 again, then. Last chance.

    3 pitches middle middle to Gallo. Not mistakes if you don't hit them. And Carlos hits into his second double play of the game. With Buxton on base! That's a lot of no bang for the buck in that inning.

    Tough crowd. Gray gives up one and strikes out 9, and left with the bases empty and a strikeout in the 6th, ahead 2-1. I don't know how HE was outpitched tonight.
  8. h2oface
    And Alcala warming. Offense needs to score about 5 more runs.
  9. h2oface
    How do you spell relief? Not J-A-X!
  10. h2oface
    And now horrible jump by Taylor. Damn
  11. h2oface
    Last two defenders set up out of position for hits. Grounder to where a second baseman would normally play, and center fielder too shallow. Got beat on both of them.
  12. h2oface
    Well that's a new one.....
  13. h2oface
    There goes the no hitter

    And on MLB site tonight, all the games are free except the KC/Brewers and Twins/Cubs games on AppleTV+.

    We are in first. This is the problematic attitude that is easy to latch onto. We are barely above .500. We are first in the Central, sure. Yesterday we were also tied for last if in the AL East. We saw how quickly the we are in first disappeared last September, and we went from barely over .500 and in first to losing the division by 14 whopping games, finishing 6 games under .500 while Cleveland left us in the dust at 22 games over .500. Being satisfied you are about .500 because you are first in a crummy division is a fools gambit, and doesn't mean much if one just says oh well, things will be figured out. into the 7th week, 38 games, about 1/4 of the entire season, and this is our team, our offensive identity, not to be taken lightly.

    Correa doesn't get booed at Target for what he does deserve to like he does everywhere else (except Houston). That should be enough. After he doesn't even run out of the box even during the horrid slump? Wake up Carlos. The fans might find a breaking point, and bring up the past at home, too.
  17. h2oface
    We should try to trade for Luis Arraez.
  18. h2oface
    I'll give you 2 then. If he doesn't play the position, there is no defense at all (4 & 5) and (1) he doesn't hit for average except for occassional streaks. Adjusted for the lack of players hitting for average across the board? I'll give it 1/2 if you like. #3 Run? Sure, but part of that is stealing bases, which he/they are afraid to let him do. OK. I'll go 1/2 for running around the bases and stretching singles into doubles. But he doesn't steal and isn't using any running to get to baseballs in the outfield. It is almost worse that he has developed 4 of them, (Or 4.5 if you like, and ignore his career average) and doesn't use 2 1/2 of them. I hope he starts to again. Surely his knee is getting stronger, and I read the plan was to use him at DH through May and then...... As we all know, when he is cooking, he is perhaps close to if not the best in MLB.

    "Buxton has been hitting the cover off the ball lately,"...... "While his numbers have been incredible...." 1 for his last 24 (it was a solo homer) in the last 7 games, (7 BBs and only 8 Ks at least). 0-20 in the last 6. I guess the 8 or so games before he got hot...... for about a week. 4 homers that 8 games. Even if you go the last 15 games and include that week, lately he is hitting .189. 5 homers in 15 games. Maybe you meant just that one long week of 8 games before as the "lately"?
  20. h2oface
    Because he was already hurt, and you only had him for a year and a half, just about all of which he spent not pitching for you. This was give up something for nothing.
  21. h2oface
    People tried to sell the trade hard, and support the trade full steam. Me? Loudly hated it from jump. Horrible trade now with final confirmation. Hurt when they traded for him. And a 4ish career ERA to boot. What a total failure.
  22. h2oface
    Thanks for your help, Correa. 5 tools down to one. Good plan? Not in my book.
  23. h2oface
    Great to see Lopez mow 'em down,
  24. h2oface
    Free strike three. Incorrect calls affects every game. Some more than others.
