    Nobody can ever convince me that playing Cal Ripken every game helped the team or him be better.
  2. moonslav59
    Great example.

    It does need to be pointed out that he only pitched 101 pitches that night. He had 103 a few games earlier and 101 a couple starts earlier. Maybe he should have been limited to 80-85 pitches for a couple months. Hard to know.

    Shocking!

    Exactly, that's much worse than watching a player hit into an out due to perfect shift positioning. (BTW, we get outs from our opps that way, too.) Start teaching bunting and hitting the other way in the minors, and the shift will be reduced greatly.

    I have to agree, but if Bloom & Co. pick a HS shortstop or Henry Davis, I'm going to trust they know what they are doing. As most here know, I'm a huge Cora/Bloom fan, but I have to point out that Bloom did not always have a great drafting history with the Rays. It's not really what he is "known for."

    That's what so many people don't get. Yes, good pitching beats good hitting more often than not, but it is no where near a cinch, and the greatest pitchers on earth have off nights, and some of the worst have good nights. Good hitting teams also have team slumps or off nights, and bad hitting teams sometimes click on a given night. Maybe as a result of the opposing pitcher having a bad night, but maybe not. When good hitting teams, not in a funk, meet good pitching or vice versa, we might not even notice, and vice versa.

    Begs the question on overextending to reach milestones.

    I kinda get the feeling had we got 2-3 more key hits in the first and second inning the flood gates might have opened, and nobody is talking about how well our opposing pitcher is always pitching.

    I meant to say 2019.

    It’s bigger, too, but they run into the same issue. Even Houston has too many transplants to feel like the whole city is behind the Astros.

    Let’s draw little circles in the OF, too, and make them stay in the circles before every pitch.
  13. moonslav59
    Miami is about the same.

    Morton has not been good since 2018. We were beaten by a meh pitcher. That happens, too, sometimes. I’ll take Richards over Morton next game and the next and the ...
  15. moonslav59
    I guess all we need is good pitching.

    Kike wasn’t signed to hit .850. He’s actually done okay since his slow start and has his OBP up to .315. He’s at .960 over his last 8 games.

    Sad loss.
  18. moonslav59
    Yanks lose 6-2. Come back time!
  19. moonslav59
    Whitlock 28 strikes 8 balls
  20. moonslav59
    Get over Duran. He’s off to the Olympics and will not be available. I’m kinda glad. Maybe it will end the beating drums.
  21. moonslav59
    How many times do we see missed golden opportunities early- never to see them again?
  22. moonslav59
    That pitch was right down the pike.
  23. moonslav59
    Please look at other teams with more black holes than us.
  24. moonslav59
    Lucky only 1 allowed.
  25. moonslav59
    Not enough fans?.
