  1. When they did they move Lee to 2B. He played there all three games against the Nationals. But other then the end of May he has never started two games in a row there. They have been moving him around every game. While I am disappointed with his performance currently but what would happen if he actually got to play every day at the same position and got comfortable. A spot start at SS is one thing but moving almost every game, reps do matter even in the big leagues.
  2. I think Lee coming home that was pre determined before the pitch. Rocco always plays the infield in to cut down the run at home. I don't think it has anything to do with his instincts, that is the way players are being taught and so went with what was pre determined. Also I am not sure that was his ball last night, Castro and France wanted nothing to do with that pop up and he came the farthest and tried to get it. But Castro probably should have of taken it. But again when you keep moving players around, communication will be impacted and we have seen this more than once since the ASB.
  3. Who threw 40 ptiches yesterday, do you really think he is available.
  4. Why use Coluombe in the third inning, now we have no LH for higher leverage opportunities later in the game. Quit trying to match up every AB, it is not winning baseball. And despite the extension Rocco really needs to go, this team is lifeless, has no mojo. You have to make a change even if it is for change sake.
  5. Is Zebby done or will he come out for the sixth?
  6. If only we had someone that could hit in this spot instead of Kiersey, oh wait we did have.
  7. Are we sure Rocco is still in the dugout or is he injured.
  8. So will we get to see Kiersey bat later in the game instead of Lewis. Take our hottest player out of the game. Rocco put the script down and watch the game.
  9. We are not going to the postseason this season, the starts need to go to the young guys, And Paddack isn't getting us there either.
  10. My response was to resigning him for next year, not about this year. And Paddack is not a good starter, look at his ERA before todays game.
  11. My response was to resigning him for next year. If everyone gets healthy this year, Paddack needs to be moved to the bullpen.
  12. And you knew Kim and Rushing were not going to bat against a LH pitcher.
  13. Why will we need 3 starters next year unless someone is traded.
  14. Did the Dodgers really send Freeman to steal second. I thought only blazing speedsters could steal a base. Who would of thought that you don't have play station to station baseball, I didn't think it was allowed.
  15. Rocco can't help himself, he has limited options in the bullpen and he still pulls the starter who has been effective for once and a good pitch count. And if we go extra innings we will be cooked with no one available.
  16. You do know he had almost 8 era the last month and a half. He will have his moments but we have to set the bar higher if we are signing a veteran pitcher.
  17. It was a hanging breaking ball, he pretty much put it on a tee for him. He could at least me make him work for it.
  18. Is this the same Bader that the Mets benched in the playoffs last year. I like Bader but he is a fourth outfielder and is not an everyday player. So you are going to hinder Lee's development for a player that is not an everyday starter for a playoff team. This is why this team will continue to tread water
  19. He has actually only started one game since the ASB. He needs to play and be given one position with occasional starts at SS for Correa.
  20. Tonight you have a valid point, but yesterday it was basically France in for him. At some point they have to let these younger players work thru their struggles or else move on. If they had quality players that were part of the long term plan playing instead it would not be an issue. But they keep running out these one year stopgap veterans with little upside.
  21. So what does it take for Lee to get in a game. He will be here next year, Bader and Castro won't be. We are going nowhere this year, even if we sneak in as a wildcard. They need to find out if Lee can be a player to be counted on going forward, playing a couple of times a week won't accomplish that. Playing Bader every day exposes him, he is an exciting player and provides some key moments but he is not an everyday player. He needs to be used as the fourth outfielder that is where he can be most effective.
  22. For comparison Berrios had an era over 8 after his 14 starts in roughly the same number of innings. And Matthews is just coming off the IL. I think he will be at least a mid-rotation pitcher, we have seen as many good starts as bad. But there should be some patience.
