He's actually pretty great at calling out the NCAA on their BS usually. I mean, he has lots of experience in dealing with them after the whole cheating and transfer thing.
He has a 4/1 K/BB and has given up like 1.5 hard hit balls through 5 innings. He deserves to have given up 0 runs. true but god forbid he's able to overcome a little adversity with no cespedes or conforto in the lineup A little? The infield has booted like 3 different balls and they've gotten several seeing eye singles that were hit just soft enough that there wasn't a play. He's had really bad luck tonight.
Looking at his heat map is weird. He's OPSing 1.000ish on the outside middle but like .500 middle middle. Almost like he needs to back off the plate a little.
I'm not sure Heyward isn't a genius right there. He may have did that to make sure Rizzo scored. Baited everyone. That's exactly what it looked like to me.
I've seen some stuff on Twitter recently about excessive bunting but have no idea other than those couple data points. I felt like he was a slightly above average manager in his year with the Cubs.
Anyone having issues with the Cubs feed on mlbtv? This is the second straight game I've gotten error messages when I try to watch and every other game and feed I've tried works fine.
Eh ... 22 innings of work, albeit excellent work ... if they decide to move him up, great, but I'm perfectly fine leaving Torrez at AA. Was he one of the guys we got from the DBacks for Tony whatshisface?
I love the fact that they were talking about how a few homeruns Cueto has given up in Wrigley before the game and he proceeds to give up three in the first four innings.
I haven't seen any really egregious mistakes outside of that dropped foul ball the other day and the bad overthrow to 2nd. He's definitely not Adam Dunn or Matt Adams out there.
This is the Cards local broadcast. FS1 apparently is using home team broadcasts for now. He's not great, but he's light years better than Hrabosky, Rick Horton, or any of the other clowns they use.
