Johnson needs to make sure he takes a full warm up. If that’s 10 or 15 minutes, so be it. Edit- I’m listening to this one on xmradio, which is a few minutes behind the actual game. So my comments may not be timely.
-
That amounts to one hit an inning. 17 hits in 17 innings isn’t anything great.
-
At this point a loss is on the hitters. The pitchers have done their jobs.
-
Anyone else remember when the AL had a 1 am curfew?
-
How?
-
Especially a guy who’s walked back to the dugout 5 times.
-
I edited my earlier question; Ted never struck out 4 times either.
-
When I googled the question, the article also said that Ruth, Aaron, DiMaggio, Gehrig, Ott and Musial never struck out 4 times in a game. Given their power, that surprised me a little. Other names listed of more recent vintage were Brett and Gwynn. One additional name who I was surprised never had one was our own #8. Thought that maybe at the end of his career someone might have gotten him for sombrero.
-
Probably. A better question would be did he ever strike out 4 times in a game? Edit- I googled that question. Williams never struck out 4 times in a game.
-
They have to ride him out. They probably already have called a couple guys in Pawtucket for tomorrow.
-
Ditto.
-
All they have left is Walden. And with ERod tomorrow, he will likely be needed.
-
Too many here expect perfection, and then improvement from there.
-
Now comes the part where everyone is trying to hit a home run (even more than usual in the modern game) instead of getting on base.
-
Okay, much as we’ve groused about the pen tonight, the end result is they’ve pitched 5 innings and allowed 1 run. Anybody who says they wouldn’t have signed up for that before the game started is lying.
-
They had an interesting tidbit on the radio broadcast. Target Field is located almost exactly halfway between the Equator and the North Pole. It’s 1 1/4 miles south of the 45th parallel. You’d think it would be much further north.

A Realistic View at 2019: Part I

It could be done but would require using the two catchers in a different position at the same time. We know Vazquez has played 3rd, 2nd and 1st but I don’t think Leon could play anywhere else except maybe 1st. -

All of which means nothing with the stuff he’s got tonight. -

I wouldn’t count on a beat down of Means. He’s been extremely good at Camden Yards this season as witnessed by his 1.57 ERA, .903 WHIP and a .180 BA allowed at home. Now that doesn’t mean he won’t have a game like David Price did the other day but the odds are against it. -
Like all teams, they have a few bona fide major leaguers. Mancini is an all-star, Means could be as well. Severino and Alberto have some potential to have decent careers and Villar could help a lot of teams. These latter 3 aren’t going to lead a team but they would be nice pieces. The rest of the team not so much, and only one of them is a pitcher.
-
Cora needs to tell ERod that he’s going 6 tonight, whether he gives up 1 run or 15. His choice which. Of course, that assumes any message Cora might relay would get through that thick head of Rodriguez.
-
It was a 2 run jack. Of course, we’ve seen so few non-solo homers this year the confusion is quite understandable.
-
Brian Johnson up (may start Sunday); Travis optioned back to Pawtucket.
-
Were those the games Means pitched? He at least gives them a chance on those days.

When does DD push the panic button..??

But that one’s real.
