tiger2022 Posted May 6 Posted May 6 (edited) Bryan Bello is toying with them... statistically the worst starting pitcher in the league . Edited May 6 by tiger2022 Quote
tiger2022 Posted May 6 Posted May 6 (edited) Can Hinch just put Colt Keith in the lineup everyday instead already wrting him off as a platoon player at 24? I know Hinch has man love for McKinstry but let's find out if Keith is a legit hitter or not Edited May 6 by tiger2022 Quote

He had 45 strikes to 15 balls thrown, so it's not like he was wild. I think the Story reaction is what did it. Had he just gone to 1B, I bet Valdez remains to throw more batting practice. I'm not blaming Story, I might have reacted the same way. Quote

He's your second-hottest hitter this year, let him play. Colt is .250 BA vs. Lefties. Not that bad. Edited May 6 by Motor City Sonics Quote

I kind of feel like when you suck like McKinstry sucks, does it matter that you suck against both lefties and righties equally? Quote

Hinch does love the long ball - not without good reason. He's had a total of 7 AB against LHP this season, 1K 1H. Quote
romad1 Posted May 6 Posted May 6 I guess Framber was upset about Red Sox relaying pitches to the batters. Quote

Let that be the reason for the mediocrity of some of them, please. 1 Quote
