  1. It’s pretty amazing that Wallner has 6hrs and only 10 rbis. Thats Gallo-like.
  2. 87 mph middle-middle lazy slurve says “DFA”.
  3. I questioned Yelich’s bat speed last series so he’s letting me have it tonight.
  4. Anything Wentz throws over the plate is going to get clobbered.
  5. Starship Troopers. Genius on multiple levels.
  6. Brewers putting on a fundamentals clinic. Rocco shrugs.
  7. I know I’m repeating myself that a roster built around contact and speed is a lot more entertaining (to me) than….. well… nevermind……
  8. Kinda concerned about Waller. Hasn’t looked good at the plate for a while.
  9. Yeah I’m with you on this. If his role is fact “designated base stealer” he’s going to need to get better at it in the majors. Because otherwise he’s at best a no-hit, 5th outfielder type.
  10. WHAT is Castro doing out there? It’s like his brain froze.
  11. That 0-2 middle middle fastball to the No. 9 hitter haunts.
  12. I will continue to make this point until 1) it changes, or 2) I become unable to appreciate the nuances of baseball. This team, as constructed and managed, has almost completely abandoned the parts of the game that include purposefully moving up a runner, bunting, sacrificing, etc. The 2019 Bomba thing has been paying negative dividends for 5 seasons now.
  13. <rant on> As an avid former Townball/Senior League baseball player and now MLB paying fan, it’s sickening to me to see a team culture that has apparently normalized guys loafing on the field. Occasionally on this board there’s a suggestion that guys don’t give max effort on ground balls because of the increased risk of injury. Maybe, but I ain’t paying to watch that. I don’t know what happened to nutrition, strength training and flexibility routines, but it seems like we’re supposed to be holding our breath every time one of our big name players tries to beat out a grounder. And for the most part we’ve abandoned the finer points of base running and built a roster of station to station plodders. I believe that’s a problem at the FO, Manager, and roster level. Not conducive to a great fan experience. <rant off>
  14. I’ve been in the “blow it up camp”, including firing the Manager, for a while. The onfield product just keeps making the case. I mean, what could make you optimistic about this current roster, and their “leader”?
  15. We have a knack for leaving that Manfred Man standing on 2nd….
