  1. That certainly did not look like it was going to clear the fence...
  2. Gonna be a long night at the plate for the guys in gray if that inning was an indicator of their approach...
  3. Facing his old organization seems to have righted the ship for Steer: .386/.378/.773 (1.151 OPS) 4 HR, 9 RBI, 8/0 K/BB in his last 11 games (the start of the series against the Twins to present). He seems to have settled in at 1B this season after being used in more of a utility roll in his previous seasons.
  4. Jax since those back to back bad games in April; 27.1 IP, 6 ER (1.98 ERA), 48/5 (K/BB), 22 hits allowed. Yes he might look a little shaky some nights (like tonight), but basically he's been elite since the middle of April. Let's appreciate what we have while we have it.
  5. Only took a real MLB pitcher to shake off the errors and bleeders to end the forever losing streak...
  6. I think people need to go re-look at Cleveland's pitching pipeline, there were trades and FA signings involved in building it. The same can generally be said of most MLB teams.
  7. He talked to the coaching staff (I am assuming Rocco was part of the conversation) AND management. He stated as much in an interview the broadcast aired.
  8. He stated that he talked to the coaching staff and management. His error did not lose the game, Ober's fragile psyche and lack of execution did.
  9. Judd's view of the weekend series with Milwaukee:
  10. Bailey looked okay until the Correa misplay, then he became his own worst enemy...again.
  11. There is difference in batters faced (BF) and at bats (AB) per game. Festa and Mathews both face 20 batters a game, Festa 420 BF/21 GMs, Mathews 260 BF/13 GMs. Joe Ryan 21-22: 22 BF/GM (704/32) Bailey Ober 21-22: 19.5 BF/GM (606/31) SWR 22-25: 20.7 BF/GM (848/41) Paddack 24-25: 22.5 BF/GM (720/32) And for the record, Paddack is 5 months older than Ryan, and has appeared in 1 more game over their careers...
  12. The Twins don't play their AAA players after calling them up, they bury them on the bench and play the guys picked up off the waiver wire...
  13. Could add Martin, Lewis, and to a lesser extent, Larnach (he has stated he changed his approach at the plate, I believe). Team philosophy? Try to make everyone a power hitter? Looks like the 2019 Bomba Squad ruined the organizations outlook on quality PA's, moving the runners over, productive outs, hitting the ball the other way, etc...
  14. Sunday marked 8 weeks since he was HBP in Atlanta, are there any updates concerning his recovery, rehab, etc...??
  15. Jax, Varland or Stewart maybe, big K guys who could "possibly" go 2 IP, otherwise no. Lopez and Mathews being hurt, as well as Ober (injury??) stuck in some sort of funk, and Festa and SWR not being allowed to go through the line-up 3X does kind of handcuff the rotation at this point. And let's not get started about the (lack of) defense behind them, but facing extra batters and throwing extra pitches doesn't help.
  16. This team has found out that the little things matter in baseball, yet they keep playing for the HR that will erase all mistakes. Catching the ball, throwing the ball, and running the bases all still matter, and if you can't successfully do any of them you will lose games....a LOT of games.
  17. Probably the saddest, but most true, statement regarding this team...
  18. Frelick, batting lead-off and Yelich in the three-hole, are both LH, imagine Rocco wants a clean inning from Coulombe and Festa comes in to start the 2nd against Contreras.
  19. Despite the HR against Ober, Steer has -0.6 bWAR and a 64 OPS+, not exactly setting the world on fire.
  20. You're forgetting Keaschall, though he was due to cool down after such a hot start. And Matthews isn't "down for a minute" based on researching the type of injury.
