True, it's only one win or loss at a time, with no style points. But the actual process both on the field and in the dugout can show leadership or failure to perform. Right now they are failing on all fronts
Franchy is in the game because Dalbec couldn't hit. With 2 on and one out, Cordero fouls out behind 3rd. These guys are true AAAA'ers masquerading as MLB hitters
JDM, Bogy and Devers must feel like it is 3 vs 9 in the first 20% of the season . They certainly know there will be some significant payoff, this coming offseason ( are we there yet?) or after 2023. Good for them
Nice blow by JDM.. Had f***wit Cora even just made a mound visit after it was 5-1, now 5-3, maybe he could have helped the situation. Cordero has few excuses for his glove. He didn't ask to be called up and play in lieu of Dalbec
It is reaching the time to call BS on JBJr. Should not have been brough6t back to play regularly and his cost exceeds any reasonable 4th OF'er. Hope the prospects mature someday
The game is still winnable, but only if Kike can get on base. Urquidy may not do much better than Nate . Notice we had 2 warning track balls while Astros cleared the walls.
Clearly the problem is Plawecki's pitch calls and framing. Although it is hard to frame a pitch that lands 400' away. Keep watching this may be a true All-Time record for one inning.
One HR in an inning ( or game) can be a mistake. 3 in a one out inning is tough to win with. Although Syndergaard gave up 6 runs in his first inning last night.
