5/18 @ Royals - Day Game

Wright vs Kennedy

 

Day drink responsibly, my friends.

[a700hitter]

Hosmer gets us again. Down 2-0 in the first inning.

[d-money]

Need to score some runs.

[a700hitter]

Young continues to be helpless against RHP.

[iortiz]

Young is a biiiiig hole in the Lup. It's like we are playing in a NL park.

[Maxbialystock]

It was on another thread, but I could swear someone was assuring me, very recently, that our rotation is fine. We basically don't have a 5th starter. Our ace is a deuce. Buchholz continues to struggle. And now Wright and Porcello are showing feet of clay.

 

Top of the 3d, and we have 1 hit, Young, in for Holt who is in a slump, just struck out on 3 pitches (against a righty of course), followed by a K by Hanigan and another 3-strike K for Betts. Hmmmmm

[iortiz]

.... and then you have Hanigan who is hitting below 200.

 

This is going to be a tough game.

[Maxbialystock]

For all those who want to blame this game on Young, I might point out that four other batters have K'd against Kennedy.

[greenwell]

It's the third inning of the 40th game. Let's not overreact.

We have a say here in Mexico. A couple of flowers don't give you a spring.

 

Our rotation is not oks by any means. We have won several games thanks to our offense, otherwise we would have been easily below 500.

 

Our rotation is full of No. 4s-5s. Our SOS is -0.2 thus far (Strenght of Schedule). i.e. It has been kind of "easy". We are going to face tougher teams moving forward.

 

DD must cook a trade for a SP before the trade deadline.

Ortiz! Lets get at least one more and time this up, come on Shaw!

[Jasonbay44]

How does Shaw stare at a pitch right down the middle like that with 2 strikes?

[Jasonbay44]

Horrible AB's by Shaw and Rutledge.

[greenwell]

They did score a run. Too bad to have the guy on third with no out and not score him, but I'm surprised at the negativity.

[Maxbialystock]

Wow. Just wow. Man on third with no one out and the 5th and 6th hitters, Shaw and Rutledge, strike out. Shaw struck out looking at a pitch in the middle of the strike zone. Bradley finally hit a grounder to 2B to bring Ortiz home only there were two outs already. At this point Wright should consider calling his lawyer to see what he can get for non-support.

Hey, dipstick. Did you notice Wright has now thrown three straight shutout innings? What you don't know about baseball would fill a book.

[greenwell]

Stephen Wright true to form. Bad first inning, then lights out for 3.

Let's score some more runs.

[Jasonbay44]

Chris Young is so trash, I hope he never plays for this team again.

[greenwell]

did you just reply making fun of yourself? Nice!

[greenwell]

Was that sarcastic posted after the home run, or foot in mouth posted just before the homerun?

[Maxbialystock]

Horrible AB's by Shaw and Rutledge.

 

Man on third with one or no outs, you must make contact but don't need to get a hit. Even a GIDP by Shaw would have been preferable to the K.

[Jasonbay44]

It was sarcastic post after the home run, everyone this site hates him for whatever reason lol. He literally gets blamed for losses if he has a bad game.

Agreed. He had a tough start, but has been great at what they got him for, bashing LHP, especially at home. He had to play today for the DH, that HR was gravy.

[Jasonbay44]

Wow, that was a ridiculous play by Escobar

[Maxbialystock]

Wow, that was a ridiculous play by Escobar

 

Agree. I also thought your sarcasm was self-evident and very appropriate.

 

Note that there will never, ever a be a comment from the Farrell-bashers that playing Young today against a righty paid off. Nosiree. The Farrell bashers know for a fact that Farrell does not understand the intricacies of making up a lineup card, who to pinch hit for or with, who to bring in from the bullpen and when, etc.

[User Name]

Is there even the slightest possibility that you take Farrell's balls off your face long enough to stop trying to stir up s*** where there is none? Farrell has been handling his business well (especially lineups and BP) as well as the baserunning, which is magnificent. Peoeple aren't whining about it, yet you continue trying to create controversy. Stop.

[a700hitter]

I stepped away and missed the Young Homer. It is about time that he didn't look helpless against a RH.

[mvp 78]

It's the third inning of the 40th game. Let's not overreact.

 

Was Wright DFA'd midgame?

[Bellhorn04]

Young's OPS is up to .802. He's doing fine.

[Slasher9]

i'm not a JF basher but i did hate on young. he is obviously changing minds with the way he has been raking the past few games he's played.
