    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.

    We should try to trade for Luis Arraez.

    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"?

    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.

    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.
  10. h2oface
    Thanks for your help, Correa. 5 tools down to one. Good plan? Not in my book.
  11. h2oface
    Great to see Lopez mow 'em down,
  12. h2oface
    Free strike three. Incorrect calls affects every game. Some more than others.

    .
  14. h2oface
    So does today count as 2 attempts, since Vazquez tried twice?
  15. h2oface
    I can't believe they gave Correa a free pass to get to Kirilloff. Poor scouting. Lucky for us.
  16. h2oface
    It's always weird to me that Kirilloff will only get scored a single on that hit.

    Welcome home Alex!
  19. h2oface
    OK! Kepler at second! BUNT!!! Or at least a deep fly.
  20. h2oface
    Well that didn't work.
  21. h2oface
    Ha. Just get him in a trade and everyone will love him again. 😇
  22. h2oface
    Come on ump. Give us one of those free strikes!
  23. h2oface
    You sold me. You are right. Don't bunt. Who called that bunt?!?!?!? 😇
  24. h2oface
    Just dont bunt the high pitches that are balls, perhaps. The were both balls. Pull the bat back! Yet, bunt successfully on Duran. In fact, perfectly.
  25. h2oface
    Unbelieveable, Vazquez.
