Thole runs into an out and Edwin puts out a blast to lead off next inning. Not saying he would have done so with bases loaded but way to take the bat out of his hands. We'lll get 3 more years of that f***tard too
Great signing considering the numbers he's put up so far. A huge bargain. Seems like a completely different pitcher from last go around. Be interesting to see what his numbers look like by seasons end.
I know he's yet to hit that proverbial "rookie wall" but is Sanchez our ace right now. Happ has pitched pretty damn well, as has Estrada, but it seems to me like Sanchez is the best of the bunch to this point. He's cut way down on his BB/9 and his FIP and XFIP have come way down and with a little bullpen help, could easily be 11 or 12-1 right now. See how it plays out over and entire season but he's been fairly consistent thus far
Hopefully Stroman comes out of his slump soon and this team goes on a roll.
Saunders is garbage, that ball almost f***ing hit him FFS. Hutch should have been packaged and traded a long time ago. Even Martin making absolutely NO effort to get down and block that strike 3 pitch from Biagini. He didn't even get a glove down. Just downright amateur, giving a team with a 14 game winning streak 4 outs, failing to get into position to catch a pitch you f***ing called. Sickening
Way to be a f***ing pile on yet again Josh. Might as well just put a cardboard cutout up at the plate. Only hitter doing a single thing to help this team is Edwin. I'm done with watching this amateur garbage.
This team has gone to complete s***. Couldn't score a single run yesterday off a guy who couldn't throw a strike with his curve or any other pitch but his fastball. Now today they can't score off of a scrub like this lefty who is throwing complete garbage up there. f***ing embarrassment to baseball this team is. Sick of seeing Carrera trying to copy Pillar and not even coming close while runs score easily and singles go for triples. Downright amateur right now.
How the f*** on gods green earth do you walk the f***ing pitcher?
And how was that slide considered an illegal baseball play? WTF is wrong with whoever was looking at that and decided it was illegal. Did they get a bad ball of crack that drove them cockeyed and stupid?
A bunt from your number 7 hitter there and you have 3 runs instead of 1. I know it's easy to say in hindsight but it's Darwin f***ing barney and the team is struggling to score runs. Have to execute and manufacture runs when you're running like that and I'm a huge proponent of putting your team in the best position to score at any time, not just when you're struggling. I can see not bunting one of your big 3 or 4 but Barney? He's a part time utility guy who should be bunting in that situation automatically. Just my two cents, but hey, I'm a dinosaur.
Exactly, display some basic intelligence and take the ball the other way where it it is COMPLETELY obvious he is going to be pitching you. Instead, he's trying to pull every pitch and making himself look foolish
Why is a struggling hitter not being made to bunt in that situation? He needs to move those runners over and get em in one at a time. He needs to be putting his team in position to execute and score and he does none of that. One of the worst managers this team has ever seen for sure. I'm sorry, I know a lot of people bag on him and I try not to be so negative and reactionary, but he's just flat out bad and shouldn't be managing this team
