Only 4 more years after this one. -
Shaw is terrible, but Jed has painted himself into this corner. His two other in-house 3B options are: 1) Vidal Brujan - worse than Shaw both offensively and defensively 2) Justin Turner - maybe a wash offensively and significantly worse defensively Is it Jeimer Candelario time again?
-
I would guess PCA did it on his own. And what sucks is he might not have bunted if the umpire hadn't called a strike on the previous pitch well above the zone.
-
Not good by PCA, but damn that guy is fast as hell. He definitely beats PCA in a race
-
Taillon has value as a starter, but he's a 4/5 that is being relied on as a 2/3.
-
I saw it the one time and have looked away at each subsequent replay.
-
Brown is perfectly fine on the roster, just not in this role.
-
So much for the "Ryan Pressly is actually good now" narrative.
-
It's college basketball for me, but SportsCenter went from a daily watch in the 90's to an instant turn-off today. That is partly because ESPN sucks, and partly because nobody has an hour to watch highlights when you can quickly find whatever you are looking for on YouTube.
-
It's time to just camp him in the 8 hole. Let him hit his occasional home runs at the bottom of the order, but he shouldn't be anywhere near the middle of the lineup.
-
He won't continue to be this bad, but what have you seen over the past 3 seasons to lead you to believe he will ever figure things out?
-
But at least the other guy on the bench is.... Vidal Brujan.
-
The big question is, can he hold up for a full season? If not, we're in trouble.
-
I'm curious how often the extra innings runner on second base never moves from second base... because it seems like it happens way more often than it should.
-
Bad

It cannot be stated enough how terrible Zaidman is on the radio. He gives you no idea what is actually happening. "Keller fields the ball and throws a strike to homeplate, but it's an errant throw."
-
The chemistry between Boog and JD wasn't there from the beginning. I think it took a season or more before they really started to gel as a broadcast team. So I don't think it's fair to say that Cohen and JD couldn't develop chemistry over time.
-
I think this is about right. He isn't likely going to sustain the power to approach 40 HR's, but 30+ and 50+ would be a great season.
-
Really? It was his second inning of work and two of the four were legitimate hits. Yes, he got hit hard, but it's not like he went out there and gave up four straight line drives.
-
Cliff Floyd breaking down Dansby's approach at the plate, and not sugar coating it.
-
He'll go on a 1-week heater eventually to make his numbers look fairly respectable again, before settling back into his usual below average self.
-
As stupid as the rule is, it is equally as stupid that it is referred to as a "ghost runner". We can clearly see a live runner on second base. There is nothing about him that is a ghost.
-
Bats are afraid.
-
Not surprising really, but it sucks that CHSN pulled the plug on their OTA stations as soon as they made a deal with Xfinity. Maybe it was always just a temporarily solution, or maybe Xfinity demanded it in their negotiations, but a lot of people went out of their way to setup antennas for the sole purpose of watching the network and now they have to go right back to a pay provider to continue receiving it.

I'll say it. Baseball games are too short now! When I go to a game, I don't want to be in and out in just over 2 hours. Also, it used to be if it was 11:30 at night and I was looking for something to watch on TV for awhile before bed, I could almost always catch a few innings of a west coast game. Now I don't even check anymore because the games are over in 2.5 hours or less.
