Thomas should’ve had that guy at home by a mile. No chance Williams messes that up. And neither of them hit so might as well go with Williams
Also I’m an Oviedo fan. Not his fault we have no pitching depth in org and he basically went from high A to the majors
One of the biggest difference between baseball now and baseball in the 70s through 90’s is tonight’s pitcher Oviedo! In those earlier decades he would have stayed at AA or AAA until he learned how to throw strikes and pitch! This kid is talented but is nowhere near ready for MLB!
Edman is really messing up on defense. Drops a perfectly thrown ball to allow a runner to be safe. Then Thomas let’s a ball drop in right that should have been caught by a major league outfielder. Can’t have that stuff with any pitcher let alone a young one. Just rediculous.Thomas has really dropped down the list in my book of players that need to be on team and edman needs to get it together too.
Nice homerun by arenado to get that run back. If arenado could tighten his defense up, I’m thinking he could be a MVP candidate this year.
Watching this guy pitch is a microcasm of our whole pitching staff! Super talented but can’t throw strikes! To be this poor throwing strikes is ridiculous!
Very frustrating. I do not understand it. Oviedo is way too talented to struggle like this. What am I missing?
I guess the longer you go with Oviedo, you’re just trying not to cripple the pen and hoping you can win something like 12-10.
I think Oviedo has good enough stuff to be part of the rotation. It may be maturity or confidence issues he is dealing with. He has the talent.
I think that’s the plan. They’re sacrificing Oviedo’s development because all organizational pitching depth is either not ready (Liberatore) or just not there (all the bad ML pitchers. The Covid season put development of some minor leaguers a year behind and were really seeing the outcome of that, especially when combined with ozuna goldschmidt and arenado trades. Not saying I disagree with trades but you lose alcantara weaver gallen and gomber who take Oviedo out of this situation
Great play by arenado. Just gotta start making the easy ones. This team has a bad case of the drops right now
It’s painful to think about all the RBI’s that Goldschmidt has missed this year. I love his defense at 1B, but I don’t see him as a $25M player. You have to wonder what he was doing in Arizona that he’s not doing now. Thin desert air? Sure. Thin desert air.
Goldy is 33 years old. He is under contract for three more seasons (at $26M per year). I am hoping he can pick it up as the season moves forward. Not sure we will ever see years like he had in Arizona given his age.
I believe goldy will be fine. If we can get our guys back and stay healthy, I like our odds though I still worry about our pitching.
