    Yesterday is Yesterday can't worry about what happened. This is a very important week with Cleveland and KC coming in. With no C4 or Buxton the replacements have to step up or the streak will be for not. As for Zebby hopefully he learned that 97,98 in the middle of the zone doesn't work up here. Alcala is the righthand version of Moran great stuff no control. Walks and wild pitches get you sent down or DFA'ed.

    Paddock is challenging hitters to swing the bat not worrying about strike outs. His last 2 starts his pitch count has been 10-12 pitches per inning. Hopefully this is the new and improved Paddock.
  3. David Maro
    Has to improve on pitch location,goes 3-2 on to many hitters. That results in his pitch count climbing way before the 5th inning. Watching Lopez his last couple of starts he has had the same problem. But he has the ability to come back with a inning or two with 10 pitches or less. And SWR has not been able to do the same. I think you will see the same problem with Festa and or Zebby. It takes a bit of an attitude to go after the hitters.

    Doesn't matter who is or isn't available they have to improve the away record.
  5. David Maro
    It's now time to improve on the road record.

    They have been playing baseball for 7 games finally. The base running has been good except for Castro that could have been game changing. This type of at bats seems to be all across baseball. The manager and coaches really need to really get after the players to get out of the box and run. They can celebrate all they want once they are safe on the base. It's a good thing Lewis made the play late at 3rd because his at bats look really bad. Every at bat he looks over matched.
  7. David Maro
    Playing better baseball since losing the Cleveland series. But the Lewis as DH could become a big problem because he is running at about 75%. Almost any other player in the dugout would have been safe on the hit in the hole to Henderson. The weekend games in Boston may have been different with Lewis in the lineup. He maybe would be better suited to cheer the team on for now.

    The team had 2 huge mistakes over the weekend because of rotating 2nd and 3rd baseman. First was the ball up the middle that C4 and Clemens looked at each other like yours or mine. Then pop fly behind 3rd that was Larnach,s but I think he heard Bride call it or thought he was going run into him. If Lewis is or isn't going to be the everyday 3rd baseman let's settle it now not later. And it is time that the coaching staff work with Lewis to not over do things in the weight room. Too much lifting shortens muscles and will make it easier to pull muscles. After all he did pull his hamstring running to 1st. As you do remember he pulled it last year running from 1st to 3rd opening day.

    This team fell into the Fenway trap as usual. They all were trying to hit the ball off or over the LF wall.

    Just another game where they decided to not play baseball. Watching Cleveland do all the little things and the Twins not. How do you lose a game when you have 12 hits to Cleveland 2 hits going into the 9th inning. They seem to find a way to keep giving games away. This has to go on Rocco and he has to go. How many extra inning games has he let slip away.

    It's time that he learns to be a pitcher not a thrower. He believes he can throw his pitches past hitters. That mentality is fine if you can locate the pitches,he can't. I remember a pitcher in the past who thought the same named Berrios. Until that day happens he will be watching hits going into the seats.
  12. David Maro
    Apparently some of us don't see a sarcastic post when read. I think everyone knows scouts and coaches don't want pitches thrown down the middle. My point was don't keep throwing the same pitch again and again until you make a mistake.
  13. David Maro
    Scouting is telling pitchers fastballs down the middle to Manzardo and Naylor. Apparently no one payed attention to Naylor's at bat the night before. Paddock kept throwing fastballs by him until he timed him up. Then of course the Little League team shows up with Jeffers and Lopez. Let's throw the ball into RF and hit the pitcher in the back.
  14. David Maro
    I have said for years Varland isn't a pitcher,he is a thrower. He basically put the pitch on the tee for Manzardo. The offense was also a no show which seems to happen after a big game the day before. Enough already with Julien leading off. He apparently doesn't understand his job is take some pitches so the hitters behind him get a look.
  15. David Maro
    Let's not get to excited about Lewis until he has been back on the field for at least 6 weeks. He has not shown he can stay healthy since being brought up. Hopefully Larnach stays hot so that not having Wallner until June isn't a problem. It seems like Bride is OK filling in for Castro from the right side of the plate.
  16. David Maro
    No Duran tonight with the trouble he created on his own. Took 32 pitches to get a fly ball out that only a few CF would get to.
  17. David Maro
    I can only say Rocco Ball doesn't work in the Majors. It might be fine in a beer league. Players have routines and aren't going to perform when they don't know what position or where in the lineup they are. The team's with winning records run the same players out game after game.
  18. David Maro
    Time for a reality check this team has checked out. They are swinging at first pitch they see or watching strike 3 in the middle of the zone. They had 2 good games against the Mets,but went right back to not playing baseball. To all the fans who think it will turn around playing the Sox and Angels good luck with that. Nothing looks like that is going to happen. You can't play the bad baseball like they do and win games. It doesn't matter who the other team is. Time for Rocco to do the right thing and Resign please.
  19. David Maro
    The team is unwatchable at this point,sure glad I didn't have to fork out the $100.00. Apparently the the Polhad's and Falvey just don't care about the fans and hopefully it will show at the gate. I was so surprised to hear that Buxton decided to not just swing for the fences.
  20. David Maro
    When you tee up the ball it gets hit. Jax has been doing just that with his slider and or sweeper. The offense was good when they made Elder work,but had far to many 1 pitch at bats. To start the game Julien 1 pitch and done. Leadoff hitter needs to take some pitches that's his job. Buxton as well did the same thing,also looked like he was back swinging for the fences. Can't give these games away,because Saturday facing Sale.
  21. David Maro
    Team is finally playing baseball. When you get the ball in play you have a chance to make things happen. Buxton getting on base puts pressure on the other team's defense. With him on 2nd in the 10th and France at the plate who hits the ball the other way game over. Jax is leaving too many pitches in the middle of the zone and needs to clean that up. Bader would of been safe if he didn't over slide the base. The oven mitt gives them a extra couple inches but can't hold the bag.
  22. David Maro
    What I saw last night was Buxton finally doing what he should be doing. He had good at bats and not swinging for the fences. When he is on base he makes the other team nervous. The other thing was getting the leadoff hitter on inning after inning and to 3rd base by stealing 2nd and hitting behind the runner. With Wallner and Correa probably out for awhile this is the kind of baseball that has to be played.
  23. David Maro
    The biggest problem is the manager,he thinks that 1st base,SS and CF are the only everyday positions. It's musical chairs for all other positions. Then the other problem is the FO fires him and puts Tingler as interm manager and he is just a different face but the same guy. The Polhad's deserve what they have with this team,but the fans don't.
  24. David Maro
    Don't worry be happy!! Their back to playing bad baseball. The pitchers don't hit and apparently now can't make throws to first. And the 2 big dollar players are hitting like pitchers. And all the folks saying the starters look good,they are toast in 5 innings or less. Ryan was at 40+ pitches after 2 innings and 100 after 5. At this rate they will need to be looking at the waiver wire for BP arms by May 1st.
  25. David Maro
    Good win today but don't forget the same manager is still in dugout.
