I didn't think he had any shot at a triple off the bat there. -
Fire this guy into the sun immediately.
-
This has to be the end of Smyly for this year. Put him on the DL or stash him in the pen, but he can't start another game. Try to figure things out in the offseason to get something from him next year, but now is not the time.
-
Morel is still going with the Javy guess/predetermined swing approach at the plate
-
Statistically speaking, I don't see how it could possibly be the right move. That's not to say that it couldn't have worked, but they decreased their chances of winning the game by walking him. They were lucky that Marte didn't score on the double,
-
Maybe it wouldn't have mattered anyway, but intentionally walking the tying run with 2 outs was really stupid.
-
And Chapman gives up the tying run in the Bottom of the 9th. For a supposedly good team, the Rangers kinda suck.
-
If it's our turn for the Marlins' 1-run victory streak, so be it. A win is a win
-
Me too.
-
My kingdom for a blowout win tomorrow.
-
Almost Happ'd that one.
-
You did see the hits, right? A broken bat double and a pop-up just out of Bellinger's reach? I'm not gonna blame Fulmer (or Ross) for those.
-
Uggggggggh.
-
Technically yes, but also about as borderline as they come.
-
Just gotta load the bases here to get into his comfort zone.
-
Scoreboard watching against 5-6 other teams is exhausting.
-
Ok, that noise is really bothering me.

It's a lot, that's for sure. This is my 11th season and I plan to continue for as long as I can, but I certainly wouldn't call it a wise financial investment. I enjoy having my seats whenever I want them and the idea of guaranteed playoff tickets when applicable, but I could definitely save money by just buying tickets to whatever games I wanted to go to. All things considered, I'm able to keep the Season Ticket expenses somewhat reasonable by reselling a large number of tickets (typically at a loss) to the games I don't attend. It's a lot to keep up with though, managing all the ticket inventory and sales just for the sake of treading water at best. It is much different than the idyllic dream of Season Ticket ownership that I once had. I keep telling myself, "Next year I'm going to go to a lot more games," but it's a lot easier to say that than to actually do it!

I guess I never paid much attention to Gallo, but 2021-2022 Gallo doesn't seem to far off.
-
That is a good comp in terms of the average numbers over several seasons, but Schwarber seems to be trending toward an even more extreme version of lower average, higher on base and slug. How long will that be sustainable?
-
I continue to be somewhat amazed, by Kyle Schwarber's stat line. As of 8/21/2023, he has a .182 Batting Average over 450 At Bats, with 32 Home Runs, .429 SLG, and .327 OBP I keep expecting his Batting Average to normalize around or slightly above the .200 mark, but that isn't happening and seems to be holding fairly steady in the .180-.190 range. He obviously has great slugging and on base skills, but he needs every bit of that to offset his pure hitting deficiencies. Has there ever been another player like this who has remained a consistent everyday player despite having a sub-200 average over an entire season?
-
Back to the end of the line you go! P.S. That is also the front of the line.
-
I love listening to Pat and hope he sticks around for a long time, but something I have noticed more often this season on the radio is he is missing pitches more frequently. I saw an interview with him recently where he discussed filling in on the TV side and that one of the differences in doing TV is that you don't need to talk as much because the viewers can see the action. I wonder if a part of that approach has inadvertendly made its way to his radio broadcasts. There have been many occasions this year where I can tell that a pitch has been made based on the background sounds, but Pat either continues his conversation with Ron or doesn't say anything at all.
-
10 days ago I was more worried about the Padres. I guess that's over with now.
-
I'm late to the party, but the timing of the Barnhart move seems strange to me. I'm all for getting rid of him, and I suppose there's no wrong time to do it, but what changed that finally forced the move?
