  1. I don't agree, and been listening to the TV guys all night. It sounded like a compliment to me.
  2. damn. 9 hitter too. and just when it looked like Jax would get a clean inning for a change. top of the order.....
  3. That fishing pole is really tired. Far cry from the regal robe of Cruz days.
  4. Taylor is getting some slow reads on the fly ball lately. He almost bobbled that last one too as he opened his glove.
  5. Correa has a cannon arm. That is his trade mark, no? We are talking Correa, here, right? And he said in an interview he is bouncing it on purpose because it gets there faster....... which it does not with the same strong throw.
  6. 4 change-ups in a row. Et tu, Jeffers?
  7. Shortest distance between two points, is a rope to first with a cannon arm. The throwing arm is already at chest height. Plus, the friction of the ball on the ground increases the drag. And the double bounce? More friction, and slower yet.
  8. Ha. We got Gallo and Taylor for their fielding......... ENOUGH WITH THESE LEAD-0FF DOUBLES ALREADY!
  9. Punto said you get to first quicker with a head first slide......... hmmmm
  10. Thinking you can control the bounce on a grass and dirt baseball field? No words.
  11. Damn the lead off double again. Their .180 SS on the board.
  12. The ball gets to first quicker when you don't purposely bounce it.
  13. 90 pitches and Kershaw is done. Kinda surprising.
  14. Outman has been really good for the Dodgers. Surprise rookie. Ober needs get away from the middle of the plate, regardless if it is high or low.
  15. Keep digging and cherry picking. I know where to find the game logs. I used them. You asked me to define "bad" and I gave you what you wanted. Ha. I guess it depends on which game pitching against them. The three or the 6 so far this season. Three of them were awful. Like I said and will repeat, he is a valuable member of the staff........ but color me not that enamored, and not thinking he is the best we have.
  16. Supposedly because it was in front of the ump.... and can't be challenged, which is BS. They can still get it wrong. It was also to his left as he looked at it.... kind of like the angles that plate umps have and they pretend they aren't guessing too.
  17. The match up game. It doesn't seem to work for our relievers, and the opposing bats are winning games with like match ups. But Polanco is a swith hitter ......
  18. We now lead MLB in Strikeouts! On all fronts. Hitters and Pitchers. Hitters tied for the lead at 399 (in 1418 ABs, 1596 PAs), and Pitchers with 415.
  19. The the 3 bad starts, 14.2 innings, 16 earned. That is an ERA of 9.82 for those three starts. It doesn't matter what the run support is, but if you like, you can handle that part. (I don't know how to - would it be 8 runs last night for the game? Or just while he was in the game? His performance is independent of run support, regardless). We are talking his performance. Those 3 are bad in any book, I would think. Combined of all starts this year, he is at 4.00 ERA. Pretty much where his career ERA stands (3.94). You are your record, not an opinion, eh? He is a valuable member of the staff, but color me not that enamored, and not thinking he is the best we have. Good luck to us in the future. Lopez has 3 bad and 2 good starts since he signed his extension. Maybe even more luck for the future.
  20. So far he is bad 1/3 (3 out of 9 starts) of the time. That is earned and notable, and a good bit more often than “every now and then “ in my book.
  21. There was some great baseball tonight. A real heart breaker. 11 straight losses to the Dodgers. This one, on a walk off walk to a .125 hitter with a 3-2 count with the bases loaded on 2 IBBs and a free runner in the 12th. And Trace Thompson hasn't got a hit since April 17!
