I read today they are using the arizona falk league as a test for limiting where outfielders can stand thus hoping to cause more doubles n triples. Just silly. Mandate teams push the fences out,that wwill ncrease those.
Well thats a wrap. Game ends with a strikeout of grisom,not sure spelling. He should be let go immediately. I dont really understand having a guy who strikes out almost all the time as your leadoff hitter. I think any random person in the stands would have looked the same as him in this series esp tonight. But oh well. I wouldnt mind seeing rays win. Still might get that rays brewers series.
Well homerun was called a double with the run scoring which makes sense being he was running with 2 outs. Stupid fans. Game was 4-3, next batter just swings wildly at 3 straught pitches, two of them no where near the strike zone. Some guys should just go home and start working off the T.
Watching the yankees game right now. They need a better hitting coach. These guys esp if they get a runner on instantly go to swinging at bad pitches and trying to pull the ball. Usually end up just hitting it right into the ground. Rice seems to be the only that actually knows how to hit.
I dont have any issues with it. They get their own identity and will prob sell lots of merch. Plus it helps stir up a little excitement
Saw a funny thing with tucker for the dodgers batting. In between every pitch he digs in the dirt like hes trying to get his feet firmly set but yet while hes batting hes constantly moving his feet up n down so all that digging does no good. Kind of hilarious.
I dont think the dodgers are gonna win it all this year. Not sure who is but i would take the field on this one.
Apoarently sonny gray and contreras called out their manager for removing him early,i agree with them gray was only at 70 pitches.
I dont like how the teams are preseeded. Yankees have a better record than white sox but yet have to play the rays. Season record should mean something. Reset after each round.
I saw that 1tough. It wasnt bad, im not as impressed as you but it wasnt bad. One note schlittler threw 117 pitches tonight. I wasnt sure i would ever see someone throw that many again.
Well im watching the yankee red sox game so it has cache for me. Schlittler is pitching great. Red sox pitcher is pitching good as well though hes given up more hits. Hard to see how schlittler fell all the way to 7th round in the draft, def a great pick by the yankees. One thing ill say is the umpire tonight isnt very good. A couple of challenges has went against him and there have been a few other times where players could have challenged and won.
Well phillies lost as i figured they would. You cant just turn it on after stinking for so long. I know the cards kind of did that in 2006 but it was a little different plus the cardinals had albert pujols. Phillies dont have anyone close to that. Harper went 0 for 4 today, stars have to shine when the lights are brightest.
I doubt the braves have any trouble with the phillies. They handled em pretty good when they played during the season. Ill be rooting for the yankees to win, cubs to lose, astros to lose, dont care about the rest.Though a brewers/ rays world series would be cool to see. I might actually watch that.
I dont know. Picking up guys that are injury plagued isnt good for business. I guess maybe thats all behind em and maybe its worth a shot going forward.
Yea if i owned the phillies, id tell mlb that they arent playing in the playoffs, fire everyone, release all the players, and bring up all new players in the spring.
Kind of crazy that the phillies havent clinched a playoff spot. If diamondbacks win they are only one game out with 2 to go. Could we be seeing 1964 all over. They had a pretty big lead over 3rd spot a ways back. Both them n cubs have scuffled a lot lately. I say keep tbe padres, they have played well lately. Just get rid of last two spots.
I read something that marmol just said which makes me feel a little better about him. He basically said the cardinals were in a rebuild which people dont always admit too. He also said that winning games doesnt mean that you are making progress in finding areas and players that you need to improve upon which was what caught my eye. Its why i wasnt big on this team winning the final wild card this season. Too many people get caught up on that stuff. False hope isnt a good thing. Like he said, good progress was made this season regardless of the record. Sure there is still some ways to go. But i feel its a positive direction regardless of the win total.
So far ollie hasnt changed my mind. I feel as long as he is our manager,the cardinals will never win another world series. .
