    BUXTON!!!!!
  2. h2oface
    Fair doesn't make it not fake.
  3. h2oface
    FAKE BASEBALL!!! Instead of a runner on first with a 2 out single, we have a run scored. SOOOOOOO BOGUS!!!!
  4. h2oface
    He obviously doesn't care. He has a plan, and a chart, and can't adapt to the actual game circumstances. Not in his wheelhouse.
  5. h2oface
    13 LOB. Damn. Now..... extra inning fake baseball.
  6. h2oface
    Who said Urshela sucks earlier? He says .... "Bite Me!"
  7. h2oface
    Absolutely no excuse for Polanco not running to first there. None. Just lazy.
  8. h2oface
    18 total pitches for Duran. 9 each inning. If needed, do you give him the 10th? I would.
  9. h2oface
    Not the guy I wanted. I would have rather had Buxton bat again......
  10. h2oface
    Pathetic bunting. It really is embarassing that most professional ball players can't bunt anymore.
  11. h2oface
    Too bad Sano can't bunt, either......
  12. h2oface
    robots don't miss that strike to Sano......
  13. h2oface
    Why only moderators, now?
  14. h2oface
    Delete has either been removed, or it is a site glitch that needs fixed. But it is gone.
  15. h2oface
    Duran only 9 pitches. Does he get the 9th, yet?
  16. h2oface
    Kepler now is hitting over .200!!!!!!
  17. h2oface
    Buxton didn't get one out of zone high fastball from Bummer. He must not have been watching. Bummer for him. Great to see Buxton lay off the low and outside sliders.....
  18. h2oface
    I hope other pitchers and teams are not paying attention to Buxton's inability to not swing at the out off zone high fastballs. Center of the plate, but way high. Or.... that Buxton can adapt and lay off them now. Those at bats were ugly against Giolito. Giolito sure noticed.
  19. h2oface
    And then today, first inning, bases loaded in the first, 2 outs ....... and he watches the close first strike change up, swings and fouls at the close ball change up for strike two, and then watches a third called strike fastball at 94, perfect hitters pitch, right down the middle, no movement, and strands all 3 runners for the third out. Damn. Then in the third inning, he comes up with runners on second and third with one out, works the count to 2-2, and then watches another fastball, the seemingly only pitch he can now hit, for a called strike 3. Slow learner. At least it wasn't right down the middle.

    et al........ thanks.... I get it. Good summary. I understand that is the conclusion the presenters want me to draw. They are right sometimes, and many times not. I tend to go with actual performance. I don't think it is just luck to be able to be a situational hitter. Some luck, sure, as is all at bats. I don't think Larnach "sucks", but I am not going to sugar coat that he is sucking right now. I always welcome players, including those that the same advanced stats are saying they are hopeless, to surprise me.
  21. h2oface
    I love how baseball has transformed. When a player is sucking, there are now advanced stats to say that he is so much better than his performance and actual outcomes say they are. Now you can hit .220, and with the "advanced stats", be considered above above average at the plate. Who would have thunk it?
  22. h2oface
    Looks like a perfect strike to me...... just glad the ump didn't miss it!
  23. h2oface
    Yup. Great post. It was apparent to me, not because I agree with the current processing of pitchers, but because it is the thing now, and they think that to protect their "asset", they can't go too many innings. It is a rare bird that can pitch deep and even complete games. Even Kershaw, who used to, was pulled (early in the season, ONLY 80 pitches, history of recurring back injury, short ST ramp up) after 7 WITH A PERFECT GAME! And he was OK with it. I get it, too (at least I can talk myself into it), at this point in the season, and especially for the strike affected start of the season. But if this team gets hot, and that is a big IF, and is competing at the end of the season, they have no starters that have recently gone anywhere close to 200 innings (including Sonny Gray since 2015), and some hardly even 100. It will be a huge problem. It is a huge problem for us even now, with starters pitching well but pulled early with 70-80 some pitches for the likes of the Colome impersonators from the pen and anemic offense's lack of support.
  24. h2oface
    Not a bandwagon guy..... have at it. He still isn't given the end of the game...... but he will be, I hope. He is in the right spot for his arm, his development, and the team right now. I enjoy it.
  25. h2oface
    You're right. Who wants a deGrom..... or a Hunter Greene, anyway (who could also be late inning releivers). Duran will gain strength through to year, hopefully, and I hope they leave the door open. Who knows if he will make it through the year without injury, for once, anyway. A great set of choices/opportunities to have. He is only sent to the pen right now because of innings ramp up and he is needed. Perfect fit for this year, so far.
