    They have been. I saw a pop-up today that he was hitting over .400 against lefthanders. I just wish he could field the position better. That fly to right he just lumbered over and gave up on was certainly catchable tonight, and resulted in the runs starting Now under .500 since the streak, again. 8-9. Ober giving up 5 shows how important the pitching is to win games with this middling offense. Update: Not that many at bats. Now 3-9 against lefties for the year. .333 in a very small sample size. 2 doubles, 1 homer, and 3 BBs. 5 Ks but .500 OBP. But that earns him more in my book.

    I agree. Also could have easily been swept, as the one we won was the most unlikely outcome of the 3, eh?

    You love to dream up a trade of players that are in a role that make this team worth watching now, for someone(s) who won't.

    And that was against the Tigers, Mets and White Sox. 64, 76, and 84 pitches. 4.2, 4.1 and 4 innings. Only gave up 2 earned and that was to the White Sox when he walked three (and none actually scored while he was on the mound - thank you, Sands). 19, 19 and 18 batters. Baldelli Ball. He was lucky to see 2 total batters for the 3rd time, even when pitching like an MLB pitcher 😇. That was when not coming back from arm fatigue. Today 80, 3.2, and 19. He did real well those first 3 starts. I guess the Athletics were due to win a game, eh?

    I agree. Isn't bad. Isn't good. The very definition of a .500 team. Middle of the road. Like kissing your sister? The better teams have winning records on the road, too. Lots of time to do better and get in the playoffs. Or do worse and not. Lopez out for 3 months I bet. We will see if this so called pitching pipeline is more than hype.

    8-8 since the streak. 5-5 on the road trip. Losing close games is hard to watch, but getting slaughtered and the offense not even putting up a fight shouldn't be perfectly acceptable, even if you have to accept it. How about that famous pitching pipeline. Trade Paddack, eh? Never enough pitching, especially performing well and healthy pitching. The Twins seem to love "good stories" even more than more competitive replacements on the roster in waiting. As long as they were throwing in the towel today, it was the day for .........Clemens to take the mound. Now that would have been a "good story". Opportunity missed.

    A .500 team since the streak. 8-8
  8. h2oface
    Yup. For games that Festa and Alcala and Funderburk and a position player throw a game away. Its that pitching pipeline. Hey, it wasn't Matthews that qiut after 77 pitches yesterday. He was a victim of Baldelli Ball.
  9. h2oface
    Even a broken clock is right for 2 minutes of the 1440 each day 😇 And just like that, Lopez is out indefinitely. Good Pitching. Never too much depth. Always not enough. Jorge Lopez is available again…..🥂
  10. h2oface
    Dismissive, I get it. It just means that you would pass up way more value in return. Stephen Curry was expected to be healthy, too. Timberwolves so very lucky he wasn't. Never had an injury like it in his whole career, yet there it was. It can happen to anyone at anytime. For sure. Hope and dreams is a way to go. A common, in-the-box way to go. Lots of tickets needed for the hope and dreams group to see the HOF, and help in any playoffs anytime soon, if ever.

    Neither did Atlanta in 2021...... and they could have gotten all that value for Freeman when they were under .500 (51-54) on the July 30 trade deadline. The Dodgers have had a ton of seasoned and real good pitching the last two years, and then hardly have any that can pitch in the playoffs. There is always a chance, and pitching will be so very important.
  12. h2oface
    Finally getting the value out of Paddack, what the team always hoped for..... SO TRADE HIM?!!!!!! Yup. Fans are so loyal these days. The pitching pipeline, eh? You will want to trade the first one that is successful. Bring on more strangers. I don't really care one way or another, because there is not time to care with how the business works anymore. Not worth thinking about what Formula Falvey will do anymore. I don't trade players who are performing the best with a chance at the post season run. Neither did Atlanta, when they kept Freddie and won the World Series with him in 2021. Value. Like Pressly for the next Pressly, Alcala. 7 years of seasoning and the value is coming any day now. And Celestino thrown in was a real coup.
  13. h2oface
    And Pablo Day at a visiting ballpark? Give it a break. Trying too hard on that one.
  14. h2oface
    Of course. I still think it is stupid.
  15. h2oface
    Even as a kid, it never makes sense to me that a fly ball that turns into a SF, isn't an at bat. Like you were never at the plate at all. And a wild pitch with no runners on, isn't still a wild pitch (or a passed ball). Like it never happened.
  16. h2oface
    "Great night for Buxton"........ (at the plate).
  17. h2oface
    Well you are quick and easy. Good luck to your wife. 😇
  18. h2oface
    Regarding dissing Ryan's performance/results........ It should be 8-1 rigt now. Clarke was struck out for the third out. No 3 run homer. And on top of that, I would hope Buxton catches one like that next time. Two times he should or could have been relieved of 3 runs scored.
  19. h2oface
    Oh Ye of little Ryan faith. Shame.
  20. h2oface
    Diving anyway when he couldn't get to the sinking liner..... and that ball at the fence is one that a fearsome Buxton catches. Wise to not bang into the wall. He was even about a foot or so to the right of the ball coming at him from his view. That is not the Buxton we have come to expect. I don't think it is wise at all for him to be diving like he did earlier for several weeks. The snap of the head like that or face plant that is possible as he hits the ground in this post concussion time has to be respected
  21. h2oface
    This game marks the end of a fearsome Buxton in centerfield.
  22. h2oface
    Bader playing through finger injury ain’t helping.
  23. h2oface
    See. Great hitters. People are still saying it. Must be true.
  24. h2oface
    Sure. Falvey can be trusted to make sure thing trades, and that kind of trade is said not to exist. Falvey always makes great trades. Alcala will be the next Ryan Pressly any day now. Hitters traded for will be sure to hit. Look at our sure thing guys that were the talk of the off season. And we have great pitching depth. Canterino and all the no miss guys with no real MLB experience et al willl be ready to fill in soon. Falvey has an amazing track record, right?
