When did B.J. Upton decide to confuse everyone and change his name to Melvin Jr.? I kept thinking I was seeing misprints yesterday.
-
Thanks. It's good to know although since this is a travel day, most owners are unlikely to have enough players starting to make replacements. The bigger impact will be on the rotation schedule.
-
I think eye-popping ratios would merely confirm not enhance the hype at this point.
-
Also, I think we both realize that Hoffman's value is really getting boosted by the fact that he's not actually seeing any action.
-
You could have beat Silvergunn to Hoffman.
-
I didn't say Steam Whistle was a good beer. It isn't. Going there was a good time though.
-
Also refreshing to have a good catcher to maximize the contribution of the pitchers. I knew Martin was a great defender and pitch framer but I wasn't really a believer in the whole game calling thing but Hutch's success yesterday seemed to have as much o to do with sequencing than with pure stuff. That might be reading too much into one start but we all know that Martin definitely is a good catcher before you even consider what game calling might be worth. Minor quibbles about AA aside, the fact that he is finally equipping his pitching staff with a partner like this feels like a watershed moment in his tenure.
-
I only have one home opener experience but when I went we partied at the Steamwhistle brewery before the game and that was a good time. It was way too busy for tour but they gave you free beer as soon as you walked in which is better than a tour anyways.
-
Hutch arguably had worse command than Tanaka yesterday but he did a much much better job of mixing it up.
-
I really didn't think Tanaka was that bad yesterday. A little more luck for Tanaka and little less luck for Hutch and it seems to me like the lines could have easily been reversed.
-
Welcome back! -
Navarro nearly killed Tanaka there.
-
Tolleson.
-
Hutch is getting down with a lot of junk.
-
And the whole situation with the backup catcher who feels entitled to more (and possibly has been promised more) isn't of Gibbons' creation.
-
lol @ my dad who never watches baseball nitpicking Bautista's stance.
-
I'm not blaming Gibbons for Navarro. It was AA's job to resolve this mess.
-
Just to add to this... The frequency of 2 out no one on base PAs for the 3rd hitter knock the value of that spot down a peg in spite of what conventional wisdom says.
-
Fixed again.
-
Probably a good thing at this point.
-
God Damn It! I just wanted to be a dimissive lazy ******* about this. You mean I have to form an informed opinion? (Kicks rock.)
-
It's a shame Bautista is so caught up on the so called "honour" of batting third. Leadoff or even 2 is way too out of the box but 4 would seem like a nice compromise. Cleanup hitter has a nice ring to it. That one SHOULDN'T feel like a demotion but it's just one of those things that's not worth upsetting a star player over.
-
I'd really like to see some numbers on this rather than anecdotal evidence. Otherwise, I'm pretty much going to assume confirmation bias.
-
Seems like a fairly accurate representation of the team to me. Stanton + a bunch of walking corpses.
-
Or never ever facing a right-handed hitter again. I see him as insurance for Hynes more than anything else.
