  1. This would be easier for me if Kepler's first half more closely resembled the start of this second half. I was ready to part ways with him. Now we are seeing him hit the ball again. And we need that, along with his defense.
  2. Actually Baseball Reference and I have never met. I even skip reading the paragraphs that are full of stats that I am too old to wanna understand. But thanks for the link.
  3. What is our team batting average against left handed pitchers- comparing our RH hitters vs our LH hitters? Are our left handed hitters doing worse than our right handed swingers?
  4. Yes. We struck out 10 times and gave up 8 stolen bases. How do you win games like that? With a walk off HR I guess. Strange game.
  5. Lots to be considered. I sound like an old schooler because I am one. I wonder how these modern bigger and stronger hitters would fare against old school pitchers. Almost certainly the increased speed fascination will take a toll, but today's arms are doing less and less work over the long haul. All of the TJ surgeries scream at something.
  6. I can't buy the arm fatigue issue. Starting Pitchers pitching 5 or 6 innings every 5 days? Remember when teams had 3 man starting rotations? Or 4 if they were lucky?

  8. The best part of baseball is hitting. DH would be the best job in the world. I don't understand how having to play defense would make you better hitter.
  9. Queue up some fake blizzard wind sounds
  10. This resembles how our season began. Playing pretty good ball, winning some close games, good pitching mixed in with some timely hitting. Steady as she goes now. Maintain some momentum.
  11. Two .500 teams doing battle. And we split with them. Just about what we expected. Acceptable. No sweep the CWS
  12. I do not miss Buxton. He was a hole in the lineup and we fixed it. Can a couple of games off make a difference? It sure did for the TEAM.
  13. And how about that offense without him?! Keep him on the bench. Or IL
  14. Polanco to DH? A switch hitting DH seems like a perfect piece to have.
  15. Polanco would be our everyday switch hitting DH. Julien plays 2b unless he regresses instead of progresses
  16. How about those Buxton at bats? Bases loaded, two outs, in a tie game? Did he swing once in that at bat. Call strike three right down Broadway. That's not a physical issue. That's mental. Take him out of the line up.
  17. Don't ask every hitter to employ that leg lift. Molitor would not coach that. Some of those hitting streaks for Buxton came after he dumped the high leg lift. To each his own. If it's broken, fix it. If it ain't, leave it alone. We need fixin' though. I like Solano.
  18. I had em pegged to be about a .500 team. But I'm still disappointed that that is all they are. Hope is not enough. Change is needed. Rocco is not able to inspire or motivate this group of players. Imo we are underperforming. Terrible offense.
  19. We can't hit 'em. Might as well prevent him from shutting us down. Run him out there in a T'ins uniform. Lefties are a commodity.
