  1. As long as the bullpen keeps it close I like our chances. A Paplebon blown save/walk off win would be delicious
  2. A fastball down the middle was the right pitch to swing at. He also hit it very hard, just right at a fielder. I mean...that approach is exactly how you increase your OPS. I'm guessing one of the exit velo guys on Twitter will post one of those tweets that say "that Soler ball was hit at x MPH and balls in play at X have a .700 batting average or something." I have no problem with green lighting him on 3-0 when he squares up a pitch that should find a hole more times than not when it's hit as hard as he hit it.
  3. I'm guessing Zimmerman struggles with velocity at his age/arm/shoulder injuries. Probably doesn't want to risk hanging or missing a spot of an off speed pitch when he can just blow it by him.
  4. For as "bad" as Jake has been they've still needed flukey/lucky offensives plays and defensive miscues to score off him.
  5. Pretty much the whole catching aspect of playing catcher
  6. Rickie Weeks hitting cleanup for the D'Backs today
  7. Dusty should sit Bryce tomorrow after this admission he will not run through a wall for him
  8. Russell, Schwarber, Contreras, Torres, Almora, Vogelbach (since it's an AL team) and their pick of the pitching prospects for Simmons and Trout. And throw in paying for Hamilton's rehab or CJ Wilson's Old Spice commercial overruns if you need to.
  9. Jorge is hitting a dong for Mojo today, maybe even two
  10. Lackey comes awful close to balking in the stretch a lot. It seems like he doesn't quite pause sometimes.
  11. I was thinking the same thing, I didn't see a ball anywhere on that replay they showed until it hit the board. Shouldn't that mean it's fair if it disappears for a bit by the flags/pole from that camera angle?
  12. How did he even keep that pitch within reason of being fair/foul?? Amazing
  13. Lackey is going to kill all of our OF's this year with the bombs he gives up
  14. Bryce, better be careful with that bruise and take the next 2 days off to be safe.
  15. Tommy LaStella could microwave a burrito so hot Jesus himself couldn't eat it
