Farrell thinks that he can make things happen on the bases and help the team score runs, but if you run the bases stupidly, you reduce your run output.
Pablow can't play the position anymore. I can run faster than VMart. There is no way that he should get an infield hit on that ball. It takes Pablow forever to throw the ball. The guy sucks. That should have been charged as an error.
A guy like Hanley needs the base coach talking to him all the time. It is not an excuse that he is an air head. All the more reason to ride his ass when he is on base. Butterworth should have had both hands up screaming hold 2 hold 2.
That cost us runs. Pablow is so slow. The second baseman bobbled the ball and still got him on the DP. How many bobbles does he need to beat the throw?
More stupid base running making the first out at 3B. These out on the bases are rally killers and we are hurting for runs. Xander would have been safe at 2B earlier in the game if he had slid instead of tip toeing to the bag. Coaching!
One of the few guys over 6 feet tall hits a HR. It is telling that Moreland is a centerpiece of our offense. That was not supposed to be his role, and he is not good enough to anchor the lineup.
We need some Home Run hitters in this year of juiced balls and home runs. That is how teams are scoring and winning. We have a bunch of elves in our lineup. What the f*** is it with scouting and signing all these 5'8'' guys when athletes are huge and fast today? Stupid strategy..
We have 1 unearned run in the last 22 innings--atrocious. We have 1 hit so far tonight. Are we facing another great pitcher tonight? Zimmerman has an almost 6 ERA.
