    This lineup makes pitchers look good.
  2. a700hitter
    Throwing the ball is not a strength of his.
  3. a700hitter
    But for AB playing Molina's hit like it was a hand grenade, Molina would have been out stretching the double.
  4. a700hitter
    Spotless clean defense.
  5. a700hitter
    A 4 run game is out of range for our offense unless the opposition defense falls apart and we get to face a real sack of s*** pitcher.
  6. a700hitter
    2015 Porcello has returned.
  7. a700hitter
    This game is gone unless the Cardinals return the favor with 2 or 3 errors in an inning sandwiched between a couple of hits.
  8. a700hitter
    lol!!!
  9. a700hitter
    Bu...bu.. but ... the metrics ...

    Bad play by AB letting the slow footed Molina stretch to a double, but a terrible play by the veteran (and supposed Gold Glover) Moreland. This guy is not a Gold Glove caliber first baseman.
  11. a700hitter
    No, it is not the same guy
  12. a700hitter
    AB oh for 5 games and counting and he looks bad. Time to move him out of the 4 hole.
  13. a700hitter
    The offense will need help from their D to get more than three.

    I really didn't read or hear much criticism of Drew's fielding while he was in Boston. He was a far better fielder than Trot.
  15. a700hitter
    Ben blows. People just continue to make excuses for him.

    I realize that you just don't add the RBI's and Runs and take the difference. Even the number you put forth are almost 60 runs and I don't think that takes into account the dynamics of losing Ortiz and the cascading effects. As for Hanley, he had his best year in a long time and it was his first full season in 5 years. He has 2 bad shoulders. Regression by him is fairly likely.

    No extension.

    Drew was the prototype for a baseball player. He did everything very well. I remember how impressed I was with him when I saw him in Ft. Myers in 2007. His fielding was underrated because he made it look effortless. He got a better jump on balls than any RF that I have seen except maybe Dewey. Every time that balls were hit in the RCF gap, he would be there by time the camera tracked the ball. When the ball went down the line into the corner, he would be there too. Yes, part of it was positioning, but a bigger part was the type of jump he got on the ball. When Jay Bruce came up for the Reds, I went to the RF deck seats in Ft. Myers to watch the game. It was a great perspective to appreciate the jump that OFers get on balls. The difference between Bruce and Drew was huge. Drew got so much a better jump on balls than Bruce. Drew's baseball skills were at the top of the charts across the board. The problem with Drew was that if he sneezed you knew that you would be playing without him for 2-3 weeks.

    The only time this offense can score more that 3 runs is when the other teams D falls apart.
  20. a700hitter
    Weak throw by Fowler. It had nothing on it. XB slowed himself down by looking at the throw twice.
  21. a700hitter
    Maybe Bradley is going to go on a hot steak. That would really help this lineup.
  22. a700hitter
    They are giving us a big opportunity here.
  23. a700hitter
    Getting 4 + runs will be a struggle for this lineup.
  24. a700hitter
    Replacing Ortiz (79 runs & 127 RBI) with Morleand (49 Runs & 60 RBI) is a difference of 100 runs. Add in some regression from a few of the other players. You missed Hanley on your mentions of players likely to regress. 2016 was his first full season in 5 years. Add to all this the cascading effect of losing Ortiz. It was easy to see us falling off by more than 100 runs.
  25. a700hitter
    He has made a lot of rookie errors out there in the early season. Sac Fly to SS should never be something that is in your score-book.
