gehringer_2 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 the positive sign is they played a whole game with only one defensive bobble and it didn't cost a run. And Skubal, but that's as close to a given as anything with this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The homer to tie it will no doubt help his confidence as well. Offensively, they need to put together a complete game. Gotta be able to string hits together... they continue to leave guys out there when they have chances.

buddha Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 the evidence is pretty clear now: baez and correa both suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cowan Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 OPS leaders, past 7 days (minimum 10 PAs): Candelario 1.171, Barnhart .929, Harold .900, Baddoo .875. If you only want guys with 20 PAs during the week though, it's Candelario, and then Cabrera at .718. And then a bunch of guys under .600. Tork's OPS...OPS...was .170 and Schoop's was .106 from a slash line of .053/.053/.053. That right there is Danny Worth territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalTiger Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Baez and Candy homers wasted by Soto. Can’t win for losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) I don't want to blame only Soto for the loss. Its tough for pitchers to have margin for error of about a run given the ineptitude of the offense. But its past time to realize that Soto isn't a high leverage pitcher.

Sports_Freak Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 11 hours ago, mtutiger said: I dont know what the data says, but Fulmer seems like the better play in that situation. Especially with the 0 ERA and low xFIP. I remember Soto was elevated to closer after being a shut down set up man in the 8th innings. Maybe a pitcher with control issues feels too much pressure to count on as a closer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
