    Still not a fan of the contact play, but it distracted the 3B enough to make a bad throw...

    All the support you need rook....

    Just need Gene Hackman to show you that the distance from the mound to homeplate is the same, 90 feet between bases is the same, etc... ;)

    There's a lot of IL time in that line-up....

    Margot for Buxton, what happened on that strikeout??
  6. mnfireman
    Probably Buxton, again...

    Wallner with a bad case of the Julien's tonight....

    Also can't throw him a non-sweeping sweeper

    The biggest loser in this trade so far is Edouard Julien. Polanco (and probably Arraez) was traded and the starting 2B job was handed to him. He struggled and the team was forced to demote him to AAA. This in turn forced the team to promote Austin Martin and, following injuries to Correa, Lewis and Farmer, promote Brooks Lee. Both have played well enough to keep Julien in AAA, except for a brief period when Farmer was first hurt. When Lee was placed on the IL, Farmer was given the spot, not Julien. Correa is due back soon and I'm sure Martin will be optioned out. The question is: Who get's called up in September when rosters expand as I'm sure the team will call up one position player and one pitcher??

    Kwan didn't seem to mind...

    If he gets healthy and has a couple of big seasons the team could be in trouble, or have to trade him. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-arbitration-yankees-juan-soto-breaks-shohei-ohtanis-mark-with-2024-deal-plus-more-notable-contracts/

    Again, sarcasm doesn't show very well on the interweb...

    6 seasons worth of data....

    Sorry, sarcasm is very hard to show on the interweb....

    Might need him tonight or tomorrow, bring on Duran

    You play for the lead on the road, you play for the tie at home....
  18. mnfireman
    Yes!
  19. mnfireman
    That, and I hate the "contact play." Always leads to an out at home it seems.
  20. mnfireman
    He still has to put the team in the best position to win given the resources he has to work with...

    But roster construction is flawed: The back-end of the BP can't be trusted in close games Extended absences from Correa or Buxton greatly weaken the defense, even with the ability of players to play multiple positions. You don't band-aids at SS and CF. Situational awareness rears its ugly head both in the field and on the bases more often than it should. So far the team is talented enough to overcome the bad games, but using players out of position could catch up to them sooner rather than later.

    Bellinger beats a good throw to first, Lee should have just held the ball. However, Lee didn't serve up the HR, Pablo did. Martin misplayed an out into a triple allowing a run to score, which was then followed by a wild pitch allowing another run to score. Should still be 3-2 at this point. And I say 3-2 because Kepler should have thrown Busch out at he plate, that throw was horrible, especially from 120 feet. Vazquez's HR would have tied the game and Dobnak would not have been out there for the 8th to give up another run. Little mistakes snowballed what should have been a tie game into a 6-2 deficit and Rocco throwing in the towel. This kind of baseball does not play well, if at all, in October.
  23. mnfireman
    Soooo, Martin gets to play CF again after muffing a play into a triple that an average HS OF catches. Can they put 4 OF's out there because Martin is going to need help with Ryan on the bump...

    Boston held on to beat KC tonight, a win tomorrow and Boston moves up to the 3rd WC.
  25. mnfireman
    At least the Red Sox held on against KC, a win tomorrow and they move ahead of KC for the last WC. Now if Arizona can sweep Cleveland tomorrow...
