    There is no contradiction here. He said straight routes were ok to run but rounding the bases was more difficult. When batters swing, they pick up their lead foot and land it (i.e., the leg kick). The foot goes sideways not straight ahead. Go back and look at some of his at bats in May. He was barely moving his lead leg sometimes. He was swinging with his arms and core without his legs. Sure, maybe his toe started feeling better but he still had those bad swing habits. Entirely possible. He went to AAA to fix it. That's what happened in 2018. The big picture is not to give up on him or wave the red flag because he's had a terrible season.

    True, I think he calls a good game, but I think pitchers are just getting tired of all the balls he's whiffing on or not blocking. Maybe he can improve on that aspect of it. Hope so. I think the more Garver plays this season, the more fatigued he becomes and the worse his catching gets, but it might be good training for next season if he does keep catching a lot. Just guessing.
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Astudillo can hit better than Wilson and catch better than Garver, and what's more, he can probably hit better than Garver and catch better than Wilson! So I'd give Astudillo a shot catching regularly.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The answer to our short term catcher question could be already sitting on the bench here. Betcha he's not in the lineup tonight.

    Would you take Buxton's 2017 hitting output in 2019?
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Not completely discounted, but largely discounted, yes. Because he broke his toe. An injury like that would seem to be a reasonable explanation for the bad swing we saw.
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Same things were said about Gomez and Hicks. Gomez had several viable MLB seasons after he was traded. I wouldn't call him a star though he did make the All Star game. Hicks has been good since we "traded high" on him. Hicks is outperforming Bryce Harper this year. To give up on Buxton now seems premature.
  8. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I won't try to sugarcoat what happened with Sano. Buxton absolutely. When they sent Buxton on his rehab he was hitting .195 which would be like the third best average on the team right now. I'm not convinced Buxton's broken toe explains 100% of his struggle after that, but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. You can call it sugarcoating, but I call it a reasonable explanation. That said, I'd like to see him back up before the All Star break. His second half in 2017 was for the books. I don't want to see this team fielding an inferior team, just because. I want some wins.

    It's possible Sano would have had his epiphany if he stayed with the MLB club, but it's hard to argue against the demotion. Sano did no favors to anyone. Good out-of-the-box thinking by the front office to order him to Ft. Myers. Buxton is a different story. I thought it was questionable to send him on rehab after his migraines. He straightened himself out in 2017 without needing to be demoted. I'd call him back up right now. I still think he'll hit and be great. It's also fair to think of Rosario, Kepler, Berrios as part of the current core.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    haha I know how you feel about this
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The core is still intact and we have pitching. All is not lost. We are in this. There just happened to be a perfect storm* of injuries, non-performance, and a failed free agent class that torpedoed this season. Those things can be corrected in the offseason or trade deadline. * and yeah I hate when others use that term "perfect storm" but there you go
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Pretty harsh but I don't completely disagree. I also think the core of this team is still good and they can rebound with 90+ wins in 2019.
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think you are on to something. However, my solution would be to remove the free agents they signed.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    no batters swinging at anything, weird guess it was just too much effort
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Sausage race was rigged
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I don't know - looks like a box of wheaties to me!
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I wouldn't say overblown, I'd say he deserves his equal share of credit for turning this season to junk. Early on, and now again he is taking the stage. He is pulling his weight.

    Also posted this in the game thread: In the classic save situation of a one-run lead to start the ninth, Rodney is now only 1 out of 4 in converting those to wins.
  19. Hosken Bombo Disco
    My guess is he was hoping Littel might pitch the 10th, 11th, and 12th
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Orf Just wanted to say that, at least once
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Fun with numbers (depending on your idea of fun): In the quintessential save situation, a one-run lead to start the ninth, Rodney is now only 1 out of 4 in converting those leads into wins and saves.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Gladden making a late run at this award: Prior to Wilson's at bat: you're gonna sacrifice here After Wilson's at bat: I like him swinging away there
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Hit and run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Provus goes to the inning break saying the Twins lead by 4 LOL
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    He will be well versed by the time of his next interview, for sure
