We took 4-6 from LA last season IIRC. It isn’t out of the realm to take 2-3. Also we don’t get Ohtani on the mound but the kid Sunday has been good and May faces his old team. Which could be a step backward. We shall see what the boys give us.
From the low point on Sunday to the highs of a 4 game sweep on the road against Pitt. This will continue for our baby birds.
I believe they have to make a move when Dobbins gets called up today. You could get a wish of a bullpen guy being jettisoned. Idk if it will be Stanek or Bruhitl. We do like to try and salvage value from playes we’ve signed FA contracts that have sucked until the last possible minute.
Its not a reset Bling.
I guess they could’ve put in Fermin. My guess is they put in Pozo to see if he could park one.
The bench is weak currently Urias was brought in as a bench-insurance bat for Gorman. Can’t help that the ownership didn’t want to bring in another veteran bench bat. It’s just the way things are.
We had one hit after the 3rd inning. Church’s homer on the 6th and that was it.
At least were living up to everyone’s expectations now. Lol
Disappointing to not get at least one. Pen was a disaster this weekend other than the 2 of the 3 stooges.
And JoJo falls apart after the overturn. 3-2
He gets into ruts like this during the season. Juat how he is at times.
Flores might be a guy to keep an eye on. Came away a little impressed when I watched him in Peoria. Handles his position ok and can hit.
If anyone is looking to attend a minit league game. Right now they are running a deal for $10 tickets for minor league contests through the mlb app until April 28th for select games. Might swoop a couple up and take the nephews or a buddy.
I agree 100%. From a developement and rebuild standpoint, we are ahead of what anyone could have expected. Today’s game was uplifting from the point of view that Church is starting to look like a core guy. Everything about his game is getting better. As you say, this season isn’t about wins and losses, although I know that angers a lot of folks
So many wanted it tore down the last 5 years and now about 75% can’t sit through it and go back to the old whipping boys of Oli and Dewitt as fallback. Chaim is getting picked on slowly more and more.
It’s early but Church is slowly making a name for himself. If he can maintain a consistent pace with his offense and pair it with that defense you got your future CF. However he is a rookie and im sure he will have his ups and downs at the plate. Don’t see him hitting 2 jacks in a game again anytime soon.
Not sure anyone can answer that because he has never played in the outfield in five-plus pro seasons.
Not that he couldn’t but it would be an odd move to learn it now.
We have Church. Who else do we need?
When the highlights of you pitching staff were Stanek and Bruihltal it’s pretty much a dumpster fire of a pitching performance as a collective. Too many arms used. Got to get better results from the guys starting the game. Not this 3-5 inning BS.
I don’t think this signals a downward spiral of anything. Team wasn’t suppose to compete. Lucky they got 5 games over .500. Likely they’ll do one of the patented losing more than win skids in April or May and be about 6-7 games under .500 by the time Memorial day hits. Where they likely stay until the deadline.
Walker got a hit. He was never going to keep up that 60 homer pace. Right now almost anyone would take 25 Homers and near .800 ops and call it a W with all that has gone on with him the past 2 seasons. Kudos to Church for the game he had. Guys getting a little tougher to keep out of the lineup game by game. Victor might be the 4th OF come Noottime if Nathanial keeps a solid stick.
Playing Church in CF tonight. Oli must have thought Scott needed an extra day of rest and reflection.
I was kind of joking around but yes. Oli could’ve thrown a worse lineup out there.
I mean it’s not like this team is an offensive juggernaut to begin with. You pretty much sit any duo of Walker, Burleson, Winn and you can pretty much chalk up an L. Oli just chose to sit all of them.
They should be well rested for the 17 game stretch. Let’s throw this one in the back of the cabinet and get a good result against a struggling Mariners team Friday.
The main gripe I have on the lineup is that JJ didn’t sit and Pages play 2nd. Hey the bullpen went through primarily untouched. Miracles can happen.
Leahy is on borrowed time in the rotation. Clearly just not working.
This should be Stanks role. Mop up in big leads or far behind.
Should be able to get a win these next 2 days. Would like solid outings from death ball boy and ML. 6 innings please.
Do we have worst luck as far as injuries are concerned? What I thought we had in depth will be tested. Someone better put bubble wrap around Dobbins and Mathews.
I guess you haven’t been following the Cubs.
Its unfortunate for sure. Someone here must have picked up the Fitts voodoo doll rather than Pallante or Leahy.
Monday’s paid attendance was 17.9k and from the looks whenever the camera took in the stands the actual was far short of that.
And?
Attendance has sucked for 2 plus seasons. They aren’t getting the fans who travel. It will take some time to get them back. Winning is likely the answer. We don’t appear to be in that mode just yet.
Its early tho. He has a chance to pull one of his streaks he has in him ans then slump for 6 weeks. The Gorman way!
