Pham finally stayed healthy long enough to create some trade value, so Mo cashed in for what he could get. Necessary.
Nice clean DP. Go ahead and kick Lyons and Cecil to the curb.
Gomber and Sherriff have better stuff.Munoz arm and lack of D fundamentals plays best at 3B where stabbing one handed often becomes a necessity.
The last couple games have convinced me that Munoz is not capable at shortstop.
Zero technique. Wants to one hand everything because he doesn’t understand the value of right hand on top, no slop.
He doesn’t even pick the ball well one handed. His glove to throwing hand transfers are a juggling act. I’m about to throw him in a class with Jose Martinez, of those who don’t belong on the infield.Can’t wait for textbook D DeJong to return. Until then I’d rather see Garcia at SS, and he’s pretty limited there, but can make routine look routine, not difficult.
22 pitches after 2 IP for Michael.
I thought Baders lead was very poor off 2B, way too short to attempt a steal off Lester/Contreras.
Jedds’ error scores and wouldn’t have if he’d just put it in his pocket.
In time I’d like to see Jose learn to just abandon the bag, catch the ball, call it a hit.Wong and Carpenter are both abysmal vs lester but Wong earned the start today with yesterdays walk-off.
Pham unavailable puts Fowler in vs a LHP which we know is a worst case.
Wacha faced the Cubs four times last season. one ND and three losses. 22 IP, 19 ER.If Carson can play Tony Cruz type D he at least keeps Pena benched.
Carsons’ bat? I don’t believe in it, and if another club wants to overpay for Carson……fine. D first catchers are not hard to come by.When I watch Baders D, I’m convinced his web gems are consistently repeatable. That’s his defensive talent level.
He gets such great jumps, and finishes on balls in, that he just as well put his back against the wall. He’ll get to it 🙂
