Jones is going deep.

 

Maybe not.

It seems that the breaking ball underneath the hands is the way to get Jones swinging every time. Tough pitch to hit, but it would be nice to see him layoff things he cannot drive.

That would be describing a selective hitter, who is patient. You're in the wrong fanbase (caveat murton)

Granted, but just something I noticed that it seems like that is where most pitchers go for strikeouts against Jones. I know if he could layoff that pitch he would be a much better hitter than he is, but one can hope. Can't we?

Are we gonna set the record for most Stupid Sac Bunt attempts in a year?

 

GOD DUSTY YOU BRAIN DEAD MORON. LET CEDENO HIT.

 

I don't think that was Baker's fault. Just because a manager calls for a sac bunt doesn't mean you try and bunt at balls out of the zone. Even Marshall didn't do that. That was another example of bad baseball. This time it happens to be Cedeno showing incompetence at the plate.

 

perhaps bad bseball on cedeno's part, but you have to play for a big inning when you're down 5, w/ a rookie on the mound, and especially w/ the way this team has been hitting.

 

I hated the sac bunt call. But Cedeno also helped to ruin the inning because he could've been hitting with a 3-0 or 3-1 count. It seems that people want to hold only Baker accountable. Baker made another stupid decision. But Cedeno added to this team's poor and stupid play by insisting on offering at two pitchers clearly out of the strike zone.

 

yeah, have to agree that cedeno can't be given a pass. it can't all be about dusty hate.

 

Cedeno takes some blame. But he's also a rookie playing for a rookie hating manager who preaches over aggression and stupid baseball. It's a lot more excusable for a young ballplayer to make that mistake than it is for an old experience manager to make the mistake Dusty made. Baker has to be held to a higher standard.

I guess if Marshall is going to have a bad stretch, he might as well get it all out of his system in one game...there goes the nice ERA though.
