  1. And that stupid wild pitch immediately results in a run instead of a double play. We just aren't allowed to relax.
  2. Walk on a strike called a ball followed immediately by the guy being driven in. Gonna be one of those weeks, I guess
  3. I know I shouldn't be mad because he hit it hard, but it always irks me when a guy swings at the first pitch after a 4-pitch walk, especially against a good pitcher. At least give it one shot to see if he's losing his control.
  4. I was thinking earlier today it would be very Cubs, and also very baseball, for them to lose the first series against a crappy team after playing such good baseball against OK to very good teams for a month straight
  5. He's in this slump because he's 40 damn years old and isn't good at baseball anymore. I'm getting really tired of this annual ritual of letting completely toasted players waste outs for a month and a half.
  6. Gangbusters AB for Berti. I keep hoping these are 2016 "this team is really good and it takes stupid horsefeathers to beat them" losses and not 2023 "you're going to regret not banking wins when this not-that-good team played its best baseball of the year" losses
  7. He's not FA eligible until after the 2030 season.
  8. And no Turner. I'm mostly ambivalent about where Kelly hits, but dumping Dansby down and this seemingly tacit admission that Turner is a corpse are both welcome developments
  9. The uniform is growing on me (not the hat, though). However, a hard no to this suggestion.
  10. "Dansby is due" says Pat. Well, he's been due for the better part of 2 years
  11. It also feels like our crappy relievers do an abnormally good job at coming in and getting outs after someone else has already given up key runs
  12. I'm trying to take it to be more like 2016 than 2023 that it feels like an abnormally large amount of our losses this year have been really really stupid
  13. Well, realistically, that's that. Nice job Julian
  14. Don't worry about throwing strikes with Trea Turner on deck, let's go ahead and walk the guy in front of him
  15. Why do so many of these close games seem to swing on innings where whoever is pitching can't throw strikes
  16. But he brings so much to the table in other ways
  17. I'm pretty sure it's Wainwright so of course we hate him
  18. I guess Philly owed us some garbage hits after yesterday but did they have to pay it back so quick
  19. At some point he'll get Hosmer'd and we won't have to deal with this anymore but I guess it'll still be a bit
  20. Was quite surprised to see Tet McMillan be Carolina's pick instead of Jalon Walker, if only because the entire football universe seemed to have the latter as a lock. Seems like a good physical guy to have for Young to throw to, though most analysts seem to think they should've gone defense.
  21. He only needed to hit like an OK catcher to be a valuable player because of everything else. If he hits like this, he's an MVP player. And his swag is off the charts, which doesn't earn you any WAR but absolutely is part of why the fans all love him so much already.
  22. I don't feel that strongly about Alex, but I do switch on the radio cast feed on MLBTV when it's not Boog, just as I did for any of the non-Pat Hughes B teamers. Pat and Ron are just better. And they seem to have fixed any lingering delay issues; the audio and video perfectly line up now.
  23. Some serious BDE from Porter Hodge that inning. That was awesome.
