    Finally got some help from the boys in blue! 🫠
  2. Western SD Fan
    One bonus with this lineup is they are at least making Boyd work. The more he works, the faster we see Margot replaced.
  3. Western SD Fan
    Suter is going to pick up a 3 IP save. 🫣
  4. Western SD Fan
    I know this is an unpopular opinion, but that is where Rocco should go out and get tossed. If for nothing else, to show the fans and his players he has urgency as well. I’m not blaming Rocco for this game, but he needs to fire them up for tomorrow.
  5. Western SD Fan
    I hope Farmer is starting tomorrow. He may not be the best player but I would rather have hustlers out there.
  6. Western SD Fan
    Farmer is in for Correa as well…
  7. Western SD Fan
    Interesting….they just highlighted Correa’s shoes and they are New Balance as opposed to Nike.
  8. Western SD Fan
    While he should have probably got the one out, I’m glad he didn’t complicate things by throwing the ball away. Still gives us a chance to get out of the inning.
  9. Western SD Fan
    This may give Correa too much credit. It’s possible that his presence gives the rest of the infield more confidence and relax and they are willing to push harder and make those plays. You almost think a week ago both of those would have been hits.
  10. Western SD Fan
    You can add Maeda, Staumont, and even Sonny Gray was labeled an injury risk when the Twins traded for him
  11. Western SD Fan
    Looks like we get to see our old friend Pagan in the 8th. 😉
  12. Western SD Fan
    Duran is starting to remind me of the Fernando Rodney Experience. Nothing is ever easy……
  13. Western SD Fan
    If Jax is coming into the 7th, I’m still trying to figure out how we get to 9 innings unless Rocco is expecting Jax to go 2 innings.
  14. Western SD Fan
    Seems like he is managing like it is Game 2 of a wild card series and he is down a game.
  15. Western SD Fan
    Sadly enough I can see that if we limp into the playoffs with Matthews and Festa, ownership will see that it worked and not do anything but maybe find another DeScalafini type.
  16. Western SD Fan
    When Cory Provus discusses how Hunter Renfroe is in RF because of his cannon arm and third base coaches don’t run on Wallner tells me that Watkins should have the same information. It’s all what Waktins does with that information in sending the runners.
  17. Western SD Fan
    I know that it’ll be heartbreaking if Miranda doesn’t come through. But seeing professional at bats is at least encouraging.
  18. Western SD Fan
    Interesting..our only LH in the lineup drew a walk.
  19. Western SD Fan
    Please squeeze the pitchers equally thank you….

    Great article as usual. I need to take my share of the blame on posting on this forum to demand we bring up the kids and get rid of Farmer and Margot. Not that any one of importance in the organization actually reads these comments. Now that the kids are up, we have put them in a terrible position to perform in the middle of a playoff chase where the margins have gotten very thin. I got roasted for asking why we didn’t claim Tommy Pham even though we were ahead in the waiver order at the time. His slash line since joining the Royals: .320/.520/.840/129+ per baseball reference. I’d take that week of games right now. Plus I believe it was reported on Saturday’s game that he was excited to get released and try to get picked up by a contending team. Again, a hungry veteran to inspire the kids would be helpful here. I was asked where he would play. DH or outfield. Castro/Kiersey/Helman can play center and Lewis needs a day off to collect his thoughts. Our best news is that we still have 6 games with the Angels and Marlins so we still control our fate, which is all we can ask for at this time of the season.

    This may be asking too much from our injured star players but I wish they would show up in the dugout trying to encourage and help these young players along in a pennant race. It just seemed that they were scrapping but losing control trying to hold it together until Buxton and his clubhouse energy could come back. The bottom fell out when his rehab was shut down. There is just no vocal veteran presence left. Rocco doesn’t seem to be the fire and brimstone manager when they need it. There was no game thread today as I would have commented on Lewis hitting 5th again maybe putting too much pressure on someone in an 0fer hole, but there really was no one else to put there as everyone seems to be in a slump right now.
  22. Western SD Fan
    I could rehash all the comments about Rocco’s game management and how I agree that there are times where an Ouija board would provide a better result. A couple points of levity: At least I’m not a Vikings fan so I don’t have this level of angst on Sunday and I’m glad that JaguarGator (YouTube creator) and his dumb decisions channel segment doesn’t know about Rocco. He could have a channel dedicated to him and not run out of content.
  23. Western SD Fan
    To be fair, Spilborghs is normally the color commentator for the Rockies so he has probably checked out 2 months ago.
  24. Western SD Fan
    Crazy idea, but Boston just DfA Rich Hill. Do you bring him in to eat some innings and leave Varland as a 2 to 3 inning BP arm?
  25. Western SD Fan
    I hate the result, but Watkins was right to send him. It took a great relay to beat him. Not everyone executes that.
