chasfh Posted May 16 Posted May 16 I see where Colt Keith is hitting .306, and with all the strikeouts in the game today, it feels weird to see anybody hitting .300 anymore Quote
chasfh Posted May 16 Posted May 16 (edited) And then there’s Riley Greene still ripping the cover off the ball and batting something like .330. So we talk about what a defensive liability Riley is in left field, and how Tork is basically playing his way out of town this year. We wonder about moving Colt Keith to first, or having Josue Briceño come up and play first—but what about training Riley Greene to play there? He certainly has the bat to overcome a slightly below average glove, if that’s what he could’ve there. He certainly is trending toward the mobility of a first baseman anyway.

NorthWoods Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Seems like the 1st time we've come from behind in forever. Quote

I think this is what should happen. last time i mentioned it i had to run for cover Quote

IdahoBert Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Anderson pitched a good three innings. Hope something positive comes of it. Quote

(throwing, I mean, not just hitting) I missed most of the time between Tony Clark and Cabrera and almost all of the '90s, so the last one I can think of offhand is Dave Bergman. I assume there's been one since, but I have no idea who. Edited May 16 by Crazy Cat Gentleman Quote
gehringer_2 Posted May 16 Posted May 16 The running game has blown up in their face way too much this year. Quote
IdahoBert Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Thanks for getting thrown out at Second trying to steal Jones. Thanks for taking the bat out of Riley‘s hands. Quote

Carlos Pena for a couple of years after Clark Edited May 16 by gehringer_2 Quote
IdahoBert Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Kenley gets us through the ninth. A walk off would sure be nice because I have no faith this team can win an extra game anymore. Quote

monkeytargets39 Posted May 16 Posted May 16 The fact that they’re walking McKinstry to face Tork is very telling Quote
