  1. Here we go again first words out of your mouth were he hit a homerun in his first at bat. Well I guess he's ready to come back to the team. After his IL earlier this year he hit a homerun and they brought him back right away. He should have stayed for a period of time then. He should stay now until he shows he can hit above 200 and is showing more than a homerun here and there. He is off balance in the box and swinging at pitches feet out of the zone. He may need until the AS break to fix all that's wrong with his approach.
  2. Nine innings to come up with 3 runs and can't do it. The start of a long summer.
  3. Saw some good news and some bad news this afternoon!! The good news Buxton at DH and Lewis to the Saints. Also good Topa DFA'ed which needed to happen weeks ago. The bad news Jeffers with the hamate bone break to IL until the AS break probably. That is the big blow this team may not be able to over come.
  4. SWR has to drop the splitter it has brought him far to many 3-2 counts. And sorry but Topa has to go he tried all he could to give the game away. You can't come in and walk the leadoff hitter and make things worse by hitting the next hitter. He is a veteran pitcher who is pitching like a rookie. Jeffers can't DH with a sore wrist,swinging a bat will make things worse. Hopefully it's a mild issue and could be back soon.
  5. Plain and simple get the ball in play!! With ducks on the pond and no outs you can't strike out 3 times. How about Gray or Outman laying down a bunt instead of swinging away. The game is called baseball and sometimes small ball wins.
  6. The play at 3rd was a terrible call period. If you look at the camera shot from home Lewis's foot was on the foul line and foul territory. More than half the bag was open to the runner. I don't believe the rule states they get the whole bag.
  7. SWR was a 180 from Ober and Keaschall's error in the 1st inning put SWR in a hole he couldn't get out of. He has to be taken out of the rotation now or he may never recover. What are they waiting for with Wallner and Lewis,they are unplayable and should be demoted. Baseball is a game that needs contributes from everyone. The only thing they are doing is striking out.
  8. He reminds me of Moran,all the stuff to get hitters out but can't throw strikes. He is throwing now not pitching. If I were him I would be bending Pablo's ear on how to pitch. Might need to throw 95-96 not 98 to get control.
  9. Plain and simple you don't gut your BP on a team that has a starting staff that has a hard time going 5 innings. And now you see what that has done for this season. The FO has been looking across the waiver wire to bring one dead arm pitcher after another. As for players like France or Bader and Castro trading them was moves that were ok to make. The team was going nowhere and they were FA at seasons end. And finding someone to take C4 was basically the same move as the Donaldson move. And now seeing the injury C4 has that maybe a career changer.
  10. Good win,but can't strikeout 17 times and win many games. The manager has to make tough decisions when a player should take a seat after striking out 2 or 3 times like Bell or Wallner. Games like this can be won playing small ball,that's getting the ball in play not swinging for the fence.
  11. Time for SWR to drop the splitter and try something else. He can't throw it as a competitive pitch and ends up with too many 3-2 counts. Watching yesterday he also got upset with some of the calls by the umpire and Jeffers for no challenge on pitches. He allows things to get under his skin and costs him in the end. Might be a good idea to move to the BP and work on things with Hawkins.
  12. The mistake made was bringing him back after 2 rehab games in St Paul. Should have stayed for at least a week. At this point he is unplayable because of his bat. And yes he did have a sac fly the other night,but even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
  13. The game could have gotten ugly fast with Bradley halfway to 100 pitches in 2 innings. He did well to go 6 innings with that bad of a start. And with the offense showing up that probably took pressure off as well. And to all the people wanting Larnach gone its time to say were would this team be without him. Both he and Martin have been the toughest outs all season. The BP still is a crap shoot when called upon to finish the game. You don't know who is going to blow up when asked to pitch.
  14. Here's an idea Wallner and Lewis get a Uber to St Paul when this series is over. Lewis is now showing the same issue as Wallner striking out 50% of the time. He also has developed a 1 hand swing and losing his balance at the same time. This team needs a shake up soon and this would be a good start.
