    I don't know about rusty. Whether is it weak or hard contact, batters are making a lot of contact off of Duran. And have been since the second part of last year. Ks are down. More walks. Lots of runners on base. Rarely a 1,2,3 inning. What a waste of two great starts. Jax and Duran giving up insurance runs in the late inning(s). Nelson writes that article about how great the pen is again in the 9-3 stretch after the 7 game losing streak, and then this now 5 game losing streak with the pen giving up runs. Best not to gloat, it appears. Reality is just around the corner.,

    "Again, just a reminder. Every pitching coach will tell you, hit the ball hard where it's pitched. Hit the ball hard and good things will happen. Every once in a while, a blooper will find a spot on the outfield grass to land safely, but the more often you hit the ball harder, the better your odds." NOW I see what is going on. We have the pitching coach coaching the batters! 😵 And there is a two walk per inning strategy by the "ace"? That's how your #1 handles the Yankee lineup? On purpose? I hope that was satire.

    Lack of respect for the opponent, and higher than earned estimation of the home team. You are your record. This is our team. They need to earn it. Cutting budget was a bad strategy from the top. And players don't get better at hitting both left and right handed pitchers if they don't get at bats.

    Just you. Must be a fave. I'll be sure to take it to heart. I'm all for team celebration. The kingly robe that Cruz initiated coupled with a team that was setting the MLB record for HRs in a season was classy. It was fun. But the stuff now, embarrassingly lame. So was the fishing vest and toy fishing rod. (First a rod, and then a sausage. Kind of a theme, eh?) And topping it off with selfies is just...... well, to each their own. I would think that when the 12 game streak is over, the gig is up. But nooooooo. After the embarrassing 6 games against Cleveland and NY, followed by a 12-3 beatdown by the Nats, one would have thought that it had run it's course. And now another sweep from the Yankees with Ober and Paddack and Lopex looking like AAAA players. I'm not close to wanting to kill anyone for it. Just please stop already. Or win 12 more and replace it with a more classy option.

    A repeat of a repeat. I don't even know what a Francis is. Not the other times, either. Just as well, because I don't care.

    Sure they are. They are still doing selfies and tossing the ridiculous meat around, aren't they? Oh course they will. It is that kind of self indulgence that brings the arrogance to, as a team, including Lopez, to keep throwing meat down the middle on 0-2 counts.
  7. h2oface
    Good luck with that, eh?
  8. h2oface
    Pretty close to Pablo Day Lopez's career ERA. Ace/Cy Young projections, though.
  9. h2oface
    With you all the way.... since the aughts.

    Remember when after about a 4 week stretch around the winning streak folks were declaring Jeffers the best catcher in MLB, deserving an All-Star vote? Right. Colabello had a good month, too. Now Jeffers looks so lost. Right there with Buxton. The selfies on the mound are just looking desperate, now. It is a long season.

    Kinda like Correa last year. Short memory for how good Polanco can and will be.
  12. h2oface
    ROYCE LEWIS!
  13. h2oface
    Definitely. I doubt it was malicious though. I think that umpires do the best they can, it just isn't good enough, especially when there is a better option.
  14. h2oface
    Our bats totally shutdown by Gil and Hamilton. Cast offs haunt again. People get paid a lot of money to make these decisions.
  15. h2oface
    Well I guess you have to take the opportunity while it exists. It might be more impressive if it was written after this 3 game series in New York. And folks sure are still making a lot of contact against Duran, but getting rid of a couple pitchers that stunk, and one that never should have been signed has made them better. I'm sure Theilbar appreciated the article.... 😇
  16. h2oface
    Obviously.
  17. h2oface
    Folks like to say that, but I believe in shutouts, even if it takes more than one pitcher. One run is all that is needed. Just have to sync the pitching with the hitting. Simple.
  18. h2oface
    Just lazy.
  19. h2oface
    Nelson keeps writing about how good the bullpen is. It's his fault.
  20. h2oface
    More wrongs, consistent wrongs, inconsistent wrong. Wrongs are never right. Never. Just more wrong. One cannot paint that turd and make it prettier. There is no excuse for missing a pitch on the inside higher part of the zone to Judge. The plate ump is looking straight on at the ball and the zone. The most perfect view for any plate umpire looking over the inside shoulder of the catcher.
  21. h2oface
    Not paid much at this point. You are right. We need a REAL 3rd baseman.... 😵 😁
  22. h2oface
    I hope @RpR saw that play by Lewis. DEFENSE! 😇
  23. h2oface
    Hey.... but Jake Cave.....
  24. h2oface
    Outside outside outside..... high middle...... and middle middle. He is lucky that they didn't swing at about 5 of them. Meat. He won't say they were mistakes, though. Only mistakes if they swing and drill it out. Yeah, right.
  25. h2oface
    That looked pretty weird. Judge pats Lewis on the back..... and grabs his balls. Then he pats him on the back again..... and grabs his balls..... twice. I guess these guys just don't even know they are grabbing their balls anymore.
