  1. Berrios with a 9K 1-hitter through 6. The slider is on point tonight.
  2. Great job by Koji. Him, Davis, and CJ form quite the triumvirate in the pen
  3. This was my thought as well. Guess Pierce was only here in case of a blowout in the opposite favor
  4. To be fair to Javy, Fonz was 25 when he first played full time, posted a 91 OPS+, and had a bit of experience in Japan prior to MLB.
  5. I was hoping for 9-0 into the 8th and Pierce to take over
  6. Willy definitely controlling himself more on those dropped 3rd strike throws
  7. I guess I'm a little behind but I was gonna post something similar
  8. Didn't Contreras do it against the Reds like 2 weeks ago? that was in the 2nd inning i believe Javy?
  9. Funny. I got this notification on my phone but the headline only got as far as "Kevin Pillar admits to using h..." Though for sure it was hgh, even though it wasn't capitalized. Never would have guessed what it actually said.
  10. Yeah. Basically, throw quality strikes, force hitters to swing at your pitches aka pitchers pitches, don't blow up your PC trying to get Ks. It's basic horsefeathers. The coaches, scouts, and the FO know what kind of stuff the pitchers have, whether it's swing and miss stuff, or more geared toward inducing weak contact with deception or something other. They want to see these pitchers locate and master their command and not worry so much about personal results. They are probably totally thrilled with Hudson and his ability to keep the ball in the infield, even if it means he doesn't miss many bats. Seeing Oscar throw 10 pitches/inning over 7 frames was exciting I'm sure.
  11. Cardinals led the Red Sox 4-0 after 7. The game is now tied.
  12. So we're legit running with this? The still likely highly misconstrued, and definitely misquoted, quote came from the bench coach. Ks + no HRs are a combo that can carry, and at least hint that the High A assignment is not the issue. Yes, there's things he is not doing, join the club, but what he is doing well are quality skills to have. The quote said it was the pitching coach.
  13. Without even looking I'm sure there was a Coghlan/Sweeney/Lake monstrosity somewhere in the 2014 season. True, those days are a haze for me. I pretty much meant, before we became good. But anyway, as much as I am hoping Al gets playing time, and believe in his talent, he is simply an auto-out vs RHP at this point in his career. And last year was a total outlier in him reversing his splits. I don't put much stock in that happening again anytime soon. He has much work to do in that respect.
  14. That's gotta be the worst OF we've thrown out there since the days of David DeJesus
  15. Agree with JD, most of his strong contact this year has been to RCF
