With three really good teams in the al east and us having tons of games against the rays and yanks left, and the yanks having tons of games against us and Toronto left, I think we are in for a wild finish.
-
Chavis with another tater tonight.
-
Houck pitched three innings for Lowell today and gave up one earned run with 3k's.
-
I have wondered if our team's philosophy of teaching starting pitchers to throw only fastballs, curves and change ups is hurting the development of our pitchers.
-
Outside of Tampa, St. Louis and the dodgers, not many teams crank out tons of pitching. Finding and developing pitchers remains a difficult task by any metric available.
-
Is mookie a clutch hitter or a guy who needs to see the ball well to order to get the confidence going.?
-
When a guy is pitching and having success, it is pretty easy to pick up what he is doing to get hitters out. I can see that fister is pitching to contact, but for the life of me, I can not understand how he gets people out with stuff that is borderline mediocre.
-
Seems like when a lineup is working and jelling, you get contributions from different guys most every night. I do not know if we are at that level yet, but I know that I do not dread Nunez and devers having a "zero fer" night as much now. I would still love to see mookie get hot.
-
I believe ball has the pure stuff to be a major league pitcher. But his inability to put the mechanics of a repeatable delivery together is killing him. This feels to me like a situation where he goes to Oakland or St. Louis or Tampa and they fix him and he becomes a solid major league pitcher,
-
As an ex college player, I honestly believe in clutch hitters, momentum and lineup protection. But I do respect the point of view for those that do not.
-
Matta got roughed up tonight as well. Mars with a tater tonight.
-
The number of runs is not as important as timely hitting.
-
With young out of here at season's end, we have an opening for a fourth outfielder/dh. Seems chavis would fill that role nicely.
-
Sale and betts are must signs. I think bogey and Bradley are represented by boras and while we have had a good relationship with boras, they will still be difficult signings. Maybe price opts out and makes this a non issue.
-
Ockimey with a tater tonight.
-
I agree. This lineup looks like it could get the job done for us for the next couple of months.
-
Even during the past 4 months, there have been pockets where the offense wakes up and plays well for a week, then it is back to zombie land. But this week feels different. There is an energy that was not there previously. If the pitching holds and the offense produces, we could win this division,
-
I support this line of thinking.
-
One more tater for barfield and that will give us 4 minor leaguers this year with 20 plus taters. When has that happened last?
-
I think we leave devers in the 5 hole and let him provide protection for the guys in front of him.
-
And that is the rub. There was tons of pre-trade chatter about injuries or predicted injuries to both players. Yet he chose to ignore it and overpay for both.
-
Seems to me like chavis would be better served learning to play left field.
-
Bogey is still not getting the job done offensively. Do we need to rest or dl him?
-
We added a reliever and an infielder and did not give up any of our top prospects. We improved the team and did not overpay or cripple our future. Maybe desperate dave is learning.
-
I think Hanley technically qualifies as home grown since he started with us.
