    Interesting NESN shot of Breslow and Epstein sitting together watching the game. Breslow is on his phone and I could swear he was saying " I said Shortstop, not Shitshow , you idiot"

    Yoshida does get a single which will look like a line drive in the box score but was actually another of his patented rollover grounders through the 1B/2B gap. Holliday was probably too far to his right, not knowing Yoshi's tendencies

    Go to your bullpen every day after just 5 innings and things will happen that are not so positive. Campbell threw nothing but sliders , giving up 3 runs ? The Of'ers kept the runners on 2nd/3rd from where it is easier to score.

    Outfield groundball practice tomorrow at 5PM. Be there

    Great when our Lh'ers go the oppo way and use the wall as a backboard or nominal barrier to fly over. Good for Casas, and with Devers actually on base too. Very winnable game, but 12 outs to get.

    Kutter certainly went sideways there , but prevented a big hit and pitched out of 3-0 bases loaded. Love for him to get the win here, but like Winkowski, he has an issue with having no power pitch. All breaking balls. That said, he was up against a heavily LH hitting O's lineup. He has done enough to win tonight.

    All 3-0 pitches are strikes !!

    In a very limited time, he is showing his MiLB ability to field and throw. Kutter is likely done, I think he may have jammed his foot slightly getting the out at 1B. Casas's toss didn't help.

    Crawford having trouble with 5th innings, both in Anaheim ( no defense either) and tonight. Needs a DP grounder in the worst way right now
  10. vegasbob
    Sometimes just putting the ball in play and hitting balls where they ain't is enough to get results. Nice 2 out, 2 rbi groundball hit from Wong.

    Of what possible use is Reyes holding a stick at HP. He is a POS of the first degree.

    Jarren is the anti-Verdugo.

    Needing a 2Bman, maybe we should make the O's an offer. How about that wily Yoshida and Reyes for the vastly unproven Holliday ? That's a BOGO deal.

    Duran may have only mid-level, average talent but he does play the game hard. That run was his all the way.
  15. vegasbob
    Crawford pitching his ass off and needs some support. Can the team score 2 runs this inning ?
  16. vegasbob
    If Yoshi doesn't find his left field slash stroke, like Duran has been doing, the Nation will turn sharply on the man from Japan and make his life miserable. He is not showing anything in the DH role. Tired of his tiny step running too.

    Devers and Casas open a new pub called the Rally Killers. As others have said, if Devers is off his game due to his shoulder limitations, then give him 10 days off now and hope it can be rehabbed. If it is not his shoulder then he is a sorry hitter right now. His arm wrenching ultimate swing speed is not helping him nor the team. Casas is topping a lot of balls right now. His uppercut is missing the middle and lower half of the ball.

    Let's give Romy Gonzalez a chance to prove he can field and otherwise make plays at SS without costing the pitchers extra "outs". If after a week of games , he cannot show this board what he can do to secure a spot in the Nation annals , then I'm sure we will inform Breslow accordingly and changes will be made.then It would also be a plus if he can hit .250 at the MLB level, or otherwise be an OBP star.

    Excellent points on all counts. The CBO, like the field manager, is the lightning rod for criticism, but there is a whole group in place behind him that should get evaluated. Including MLB level players who can't catch, hit or baserun with at least average production. The medical staff has ben suspect for several years . Bogaerts was an great contributor for several seasons and if he would have signed for another 3 years, Boston could have paid him a premium. But certainly not a 6-10 year deal or the ridiculous contract wasted by SD Padres. Xander can come back for the 20 year anniversaries of the 2013/2018 teams championships and get plenty of deserved applause.

    I have never seen a "soon to be active" player get more love on this site than Vaughn Grissom. Yes he shows potential, is under contract control going forward, and played a SSS on a good team. But it's more of a statement on the barking dogs now playing infield than the skills and abilities of Grissom , who needs to get on the field and AB and do something beneficial before he becomes the answer to 2B or SS. Good luck to him, but he needs to perform. A guy with multiple leg injuries should be considered more of a suspect than a prospect at this stage.
  21. vegasbob
    For the team's sake and Nick's, I certainly hope it is minor, but a diagnosis of pitching arm flexor strain is almost a certain indication of pending UCL problems.
  22. vegasbob
    Devers needs a check up . Not a great start for the big money guy .
  23. vegasbob
    Is AC taking a shot at the Ownership/FO by letting Wink take the long......relief through the 9th , as he did last year ? Just remember we get the Angels back BEFORE the team can slip to .500, so there's that.
  24. vegasbob
    Now, it is Cora's turn. Why is Wink still out there ina "lost" game after 43 p[itches and 3 consecutive hits. Now Wink is burned for at least another day if not 2.
  25. vegasbob
    Pitching nor defense would have made much difference today since the batters have exactly wrapped out 2 hits, and would be shutout if not for O'Neill's 6th HR , all with no one on base. Are you listening, RD ?
