  1. Bad things happen when you play guys out of position.
  2. So what the heck is Swihart doing there? We kept him to provide no offense and to kill one of our starters.
  3. Betts and JD and they are separated by a utility player.
  4. If he started to pull up the base runners might have been hung out to dry, but it would have been one out not 2. Playing it a third of the way was the right play, imo.
  5. Again Holt between Betts and JD to end an inning?
  6. At 30 feet away, if Lin starts leaning back toward 2nd when he goes into his tumble and starts running back to 2nd as his is in his tumble, I think he gets back to 2nd in about 1 1/2 seconds or less. By the time Millar regains his feet to make that flip, Lin is probable diving in safely, imo.
  7. Three run homers are much nicer.
  8. Play it about a third of the way down the line. It turned out to be a bad read.
  9. I am not a fan of putting Holt between Betts and JD. I don't believe in "lengthening" the batting order by sticking an inferior hitter in the middle of the good hitters. It has to hurt run production.
  10. Another example of why JD doesn't hurt you out there. I guess that Cora has no plans to use Nunez in the OF.
  11. That is so rare, especially for him.
  12. Could they just discuss the game?
  13. We should be bashing this bum, but we have our minor league bottom of the order playing today.
  14. His overall record on building pitching at all levels of the organization was horrible.
  15. Basically, you are saying that other big market teams have been run poorly. His point still stands. It was not acceptable the way Ben ran a big market team.
  16. That should help the production of the offense.
  17. I am still wondering what you meant by "singing large market praises".
  18. I thought we were talking about drafting players. His record on trades is worse than his record on drafts.
  19. Of all the guys that DD traded, he is the only one that I see as someone who could haunt us down the road, and he is still a couple of years away. If he becomes a CyYoung winner in 2024, the trade in 2015 was still worth it.
  20. Only gamethreads get closed. This needs to stay open for “Crow eating” possibilities down the road.
  21. I think it is a very reasonable suspicion, but I don’t think he was trying to hit him. Pearce has eaten Happ’s lunch. Happ was probably trying to move his feet and make him a little uncomfortable. Most of the time a hitter moves his legs to avoid the pitch or just catch a glancing blow. Pearce’s front foot looked like it was stuck in cement as it was still planted when he got hit, making the impact worse.
