  1. Happ is a .670 OPS vs lefties this year. Caratini is .574. I don’t think anyone would have minded if they let Happ hit and PH Almora for the pitcher. But like someone else said, he basically picked Caratini to bat over Happ. Yeah but Caratini’s sample size is like 20 PA. He had an OPS over 1.000 in an equally small sample size last year. With that little to go off of you have to assume normal platoon splits are the way to go
  2. This is Kintzler’s 3rd appearance in 4 days. Joe immediately going to work on his rental arm
  3. Seriously though Contreras sometimes takes some awful ABs in big situations.
  4. For all the strides we’ve made with situation hitting that was....really really poor
  5. Yeah but Almora is 1 for his last 24 and hits a lot of soft contact and a lot of ground balls
  6. Contreras has these ABs with risp where it looks like the idea of walking is far from his mind. He’s gonna swing until something happens
  7. Like yes I’m overreacting but I genuinely went from feeling great about this inning to being concerned that we won’t score a run just by seeing Almora walk up
  8. WOW Bucknor you horsefeathering blow. Like HARD
  9. Lol pitch 1 is farther outside than pitch 2, can you guess which one CB called a ball and which he called a strike?
  10. Would have been so Rizzo to get thrown out on the bases on his first MLB hit
  11. Such a horsefeathering bad umpire Really horsefeathering changed the inning with Hendricks due up now instead of Happ and Contreras
  12. At least he didn’t blow up in the first inning? #progress
  13. Its a good time do our monthly revisit of whether or not the VBs are frauds.
  14. Wade Davis has blown more saves this year (6) than in the previous 3 years combined (5)
  15. What the horsefeathers Wade Davis? Brewers win
  16. Mr MVP Nolan Arenado had a runner on 3rd and 1 out and couldn’t get the run home. Thankfully Cargo came up next and homered. 3-1 Rox
  17. Sight for sore eyes. And 3 of those 5 pitched more than 5 IP!
  18. Yeah but he didnt start out the inning attacking hitters with a 3 run lead, lots of nibbling which put him at the mercy of the ump. Lead off single was an on 0-1 count. Next Ab went like this: [tweet] [/tweet] Right that doesn't really change my point. He threw a bunch of borderline pitches even after falling well behind. The ump was stupid but they were all close enough to call balls
  19. shouldnt be that hard but ill take it...Cubs win!
  20. ump is just not giving Strop anything
  21. Not totally on him here. . Seeing eye single, getting really squeezed, and then a ball that should be caught. Obviously not a 'good' outing, but could definitely see him getting out of this. Yeah but he didnt start out the inning attacking hitters with a 3 run lead, lots of nibbling which put him at the mercy of the ump.
