Yeah, someone mentioned it earlier but don't have good Vibes about this road trip. At all.
Starting it with Buxton and Correa on the bench because...why again?...not something I agree with.
Really can't afford to lose Gray. Hope it's nothing.
4-3 homestand. Was hoping for more, could have had more, but at the end of the day, a winning week.
Toronto, Atlanta, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cincinnati, CWS, Milwaukee.
Tentative plans for Detroit and Milwaukee later this summer.
Mrs Chief just looked at me, gave me a wink, and said "Honey, let's run upstairs for a little afternoon delight."
I looked at her, and said "which one will it be?"
Archer, who has been limited on innings because of having no spring training and pitching very little overall the past two seasons, has really continued to improve as he’s stretched out.
I'm not sure I agree with you a hundred percent on your police work there, Sherry.
See, when you cherry pick a couple successful outings you mask the actual problem. Duffey isn't very good at retiring opposing hitters. As demonstrated with statistics.
He has subpar stuff and has to rely on breaking balls. About once every third outing or so, he can't locate those breaking balls, and he's toast. That's exactly what happened the other night, and why he can't be left in to cough up the lead. It was obvious the first hitter he faced, if he got through the inning it was going to be luck. He couldn't locate anything.
It's not Rocco's fault he has few good pen options. It's ENTIRELY his fault he let one of his poorer options lose a game when he didn't have to.
