    "#2 – Brooks Lee (St. Paul) – 9-20, 2 2B, 2 RBI, BB, 2 K" Really? St. Paul?

    Hits that score runs. But the media now just talks about barrels and exit velocity, which many times, (even most of the time,) means nothing. If a batter just watches the ball and doesn't swing, the best he can hope for is the exciting base on balls. And we see far too much of that, now. Called strikes that are great pitches to swing at, and swings at pitches way out of the zone.

    They tried to "deGrom" Ryan again, but he barely escaped with the win. It was looking like even 5 runs wasn't enough. Best bullpen in MLB.

    The reason Julien has no competition, is that the FO traded Arraez and Polanco away, both for what is turning into, including Pablo Day Lopez, players that can't play for many various reasons, or that are becoming what they are instead of what so called projections bet they would become. Still not a fan of either trade. Now we got a guy that won't even swing at strikes, instead of what will be a 3 time repeating batting champ that would swing at anything close and get hit after hit. And we have a 5.25 ERA innings eater, and losing innings at that. Betting the house on Julien and Wallner after a couple of good rookie months proved foolhardy once again, and it has it the past, and some predicted. Now unproved Brooks will be the savior in the paralyzed by hope mentality. (And not everyone thought that Kepler wouldn't keep getting better, and never wanted to trade him and still doesn't...... )

    Lopez is so disappointing. I miss Arraez. Now we have Julian striking, out and Lopez, the 4 ERA career innings eater. Pablo Day has been given the house, opening day, misguided ace status, and is tanking. Good job, Pablo. 5.25 ERA now for a third of the season. Just peachy. Cy Young candidate my arse. We kept the wrong guy , eh Sonny?

    Answering a question honestly and calmly is pointing fingers? I call it being truthful. Always welcome in my book.

    Okert said it was a $5 tip. I call that cheap 😇 If you go to that meticulous planning that will certainly make the highlight reels again and again, don’t be remembered as cheap! Give your driver a Ben Franklin! Be remembered as benevolent and magnificently generous! Still well played. I give it a 10 for creativity.

    How convenient. The ball moves into a swing. Like it hunted that bat. Hmmmm. I bet Meneses feels a bit different.
  9. h2oface
    Joe Cool. It was about time the bats got him some runs. Just what this team needed. That, and some hits. Right that ship.
  10. h2oface
    1 win in last 8 games and they STILL do the narcissistic selfie. Damn. There has got to be a better way.
  11. h2oface
    Still throwing that spoiled meat around? SMH.
  12. h2oface
    I’m with you, but the answer to the question is only Margot? That explains a lot.
  13. h2oface
    Hold-em’ Watson? I saw it as indecision and late change of mind from holding Buxton to sending him. If he had never slowed he probably would’ve scored. He seems to send slow runners and hold quick ones. Mostly holding. Royce would just run through and score last year.
  14. h2oface
    Unpunished behavior resurfaces. Truth ignored embarrasses me. And poor umpires that double down.
  15. h2oface
    Oh my. New garbage cans on order?
  16. h2oface
    He is. He got caught cheating the shift a couple days ago. Still trying to work his special magic.
  17. h2oface
    Pablo Day Lopez. Right. This is what he is. A career 4 (3.92) ERA pitcher. 43-43. Now 4.72/4-4 on the year. Pretty close to his career line. He can look good some games, but he is really nothing special. Half good games, half forgettable games. Certainly not the leader of a pitching staff, or an ace. He has career stats to back it up. This is what rotten meat sausage worship and arrogant post game selfies on the mound get you. Embarrassment Karma. It was classless then, too. Even during the winning streak, Baldelli would play 4 or 5 players with .100 something batting averages. It has to catch up to a team, and it has. This is really embarrassing.
  18. h2oface
    Exactly. You can't leave close pitches in umpires hands as long as they are allowed to call it and make mistakes. The batters know this. And since, what 1870, umpires have been making millions of wrong calls.
  19. h2oface
    Close enough to be mistaken for a strike. Some batters hit homers on those pitches...... BECAUSE AT LEAST THEY SWING THE BAT!!!!!!!!!
  20. h2oface
    It was off speed breaking ball on Friday from Duran too. Friday it was Jeffers that just kept calling them, and today it was Vazquez on the first pitch. Just so so clever they are. The guy can blow it by the batter, but don't let him. Julien was sleeping when the last out, Gimenez. was stranded between 2nd and 3rd, yes, but Vazquez could have faked a throw to solve the delay. I really don't see much value in a $10 million catcher that is supposed to be Mr. Defense, (especially because he hits worse than pitchers used to), can't get the third out there. We should have been into the 8th right then. No decision to walk Naylor and pitch to another batter needed. This team is so very disappointing these last 6 games.
  21. h2oface
    I sure hope the pretending a sausage is your savior, and then adding the narcissism of group selfies on the mound immediately after games is over now forever.
  22. h2oface
    Because you could be watching in an allowed location no matter where you live.
  23. h2oface
    One pitch hit 100 today. That is it. One 100mph even. Their all-star closer, used as a closer, not a set up guy, did his job. Our not all-star closer not used as a closer gave up a game winning homer on an 86 mph curve, and lost the game. The umpire didn't hit the homer, and I disdain poor umpires. Baldelli is losing it. totally. Orkert had no business being in this game, and giving up the two runs, even if one of them he let score for his teammate, Woods. And our bats are back to begging for walks instead of protecting the plate with tow strikes. We all know you can't count on the umpires to get it right. You have to protect the plate until there is ABS.
  24. h2oface
    Batters seem to make a lot of contact on Duran. Not like a couple years ago. Ramirez didn't get a pitch faster than 96. Homered on an 86 mph curve.
  25. h2oface
    Must be saving Thielbar again for the 9th. 😵
