5/17 vs Astros

[Thunder]

Alright I'm not in the mood for another Workman choke fest

[Station 13]

Nunez is so bad. The other option is Pierce or the no hitting JBJ.

[Thunder]

I did.

 

Well, my hat goes off to you sir

[jung]

At some point teams are going to put 7 guys in RF on Vaz. But until then....whoopee!!!!!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, my hat goes off to you sir

 

Have you been watching his at bats the last couple of weeks?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'd still rather have Pearce, although it is a really tough choice of the 3.

[vegasbob]

Vaz has upped his game in a really big way. I never understand how other guys can't adapt to the situation where a little contact is needed. But MM and JDM, along with RD and MC all fell into the same hole.

I did.

[jung]

I posted at the end of a recent game thread that I thought when Nate comes back, Cora should try Vaz with Rick and use Sandy with Chris and Nate. Price would maybe be a toss up. Still think that would make sense.

Nope.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Workman went 38 straight innings w/o allowing a hit prior to his last appearance. Why all the hate?

[d-money]

This could be ricky’s best start of the year.

[Thunder]

The dick shines bright tonight

Biggus Dickus

[vegasbob]

So do you let Porcello come out for the 8th ? I would have to at least to the first hit or walk, then Walden followed by Barnes.

[mvp 78]

The dick is flaccid tonight

Very early. Big innings coming up.

 

The DH, and your entire 3 man bench are not hitting .200 individually. Your next two IL returnees are Pedey and Holt, a combined 3 for 36 in limited action. Your first infield call up from Pawsox is Tsu Wei Lin, at 4 for 20 so far , again SSS. This lack of performance and weak reserves will not continue beyond end of July. Look for some roster action in about 2 months.

 

VAZ has been consistent with the bat. Might have to move him up in the line-up.

 

Nunez is so bad. The other option is Pierce or the no hitting JBJ.

 

All of those options stink

Wrong direction. Thought it meant the other way. People are always saying that to me so I thought it meant something different

[d-money]

I did.

How many pitches has he thrown though? If he’s over 100 i wouldn’t .

VAZ should catch as many games as he can.

[d-money]

Get an insurance run. Can’t trust this pen.

[Thunder]

Go back to all of those posts you're quoting, and uncheck the box on the far right so you'll stop carrying them around with you for every post you make

[Thunder]

Who's excited for Joe Buck tomorrow night?

[d-money]

That was a quick crappy inning.

[Station 13]

Mookie Fly out is a HR in all other parks.

[d-money]

Very big inning here coming up.

[Thunder]

Mookie Fly out is a HR in all other parks.

 

In Houston, that would have been in the exact same spot as the fan interference play

[jung]

VAZ should catch as many games as he can.

 

If it were me choosing, I would have Vaz catch Price as well. Erod and Rick have to sort through a few options early in starts and Vaz seems better suited to that.

 

Chris does not feel his way into anything. He is doing what he is doing PERIOD. While Nate is not the pitcher that Chris is that is really the way Nate pitches also. He is going to do what he does and in his case, he can either find the plate with it or he can't. But he is doing what he is doing. Sandy just seems to be better at handling pitchers that have that approach as opposed to pitchers that have to feel their way along early or pitchers that have to be coaxed to have confidence in this pitch or that pitch early in their starts.

Maybe Mookie should start pulling the ball.

Well since Leon is on paternity, Vaz is the only option right now.

[d-money]

How many pitches has porcello thrown? Very risky move here.
