    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  11. David Maro
    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.
  12. David Maro
    Best crowd of the year got to see the worst team in the central up close and personal.
  13. David Maro
    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.
  14. David Maro
    At this point you can't bat Wallner in any spot in the lineup. Just watching him in the box you see he is lost. He walks back to the dugout totally frustrated after striking out again. Put him on the IL for 10 days and then to the Saints to see if he figure it out. The more you run him out there the worse it gets.
  15. David Maro
    The last thing a RP can do is come in and walk the leadoff hitter. This is a bad BP period and needs changes other than bringing in over the hill bodies. This game was lost by the inability to get the ball in play with bases loaded again. And again Buxton failed to do anything but swing for the fences hitting a can of corn to LF. He needs to think more about the game of baseball not about his stats.
  16. David Maro
    Plain and simple this is a bad baseball team period. Everyone saw and knew this before the season started. And looking at the attendance of the home games. And yes the weather has been a problem,but with them playing bad baseball that's a problem as well. It's time to cut bait on some of the under performers and bring up the youth. That would maybe help bring the attendance back to the stadium.

    Morris pitched 3 innings because of the score,if it was 4-2 he would have been done after 2 innings. In his first outing the score was lopsided as well and he was fine. In his second outing the score was close and he failed. Shelton is probably looking for opportunities like last night to build his confidence.
  18. David Maro
    This is what happens when you gut the BP last year. Now you have a BP of has been and cast offs. Watching Morris the last two outings show he is not ready.
  19. David Maro
    Watching Prielepp pitch last night it was easy to see he only had 2 pitches. He couldn't find the right zip code with his change up or curveball. Big league hitters will figure that out fast and sit on your fastball. Hopefully he can find a way to throw all 4 in his next start.

    Two bad teams and someone has to win!!
  21. David Maro
    Little League SS and didn't score 6!!
  22. David Maro
    Only thing I can say is I said yesterday they have to score 6 to win.
  23. David Maro
    Time to honest here the defense on this team is terrible. And adding to it by playing Bell at 1st makes it worse. Talk about a lazy attempt on the short hop throw. If C4 was still on the team how would anyone want Bell at 1st,with all the throws he made. This shows that they need to score 6 or more to win and that's not happening every game.
  24. David Maro
    The middle of the diamond showed its ugly face in this one today. When you have a slow to react player at SS and a player at 2nd who seems to be unable to play the position it's going cost games. SWR didn't help things either by walking hitters,it hurts him every time he does. Again you can't give teams extra outs because they will take advantage.
  25. David Maro
    This is a poor team defensively and that is all there is to it. Gray made a terrible throw to first as well as Wallner unable to make the catch in RF just adds to extra outs and extra pitches being thrown. And after the 110 MPH line drive past Buxton that should have been the end of SWR night. If the manager knew he was sick the BP should have been there to back him up.
