  1. We had to strike a universal balance after cutting Taillon I guess.
  2. 5’9 Pedro as your starting first baseman is quite the experiment.
  3. It’s not an overreach to say that the pitching has been bad all year or that they’re 20 game over 500 inspite of the pitching staff. The mini stretch is one of quite a few mini stretches of sub par pitching. So far so good with Clay Holmes. Let’s hope that Cabrera can be a reason why they win post injury too.
  4. Right. If Miz scuffles then Milwaukee is in trouble too. PCA could be in a mini slump or history could be repeating itself. Who knows. We’re hoping for major positive reinforcements from the pitching staff, we know for a fact that the offense can perform at a high level, and PCA is at the center of that. There’s a smaller margin for error until we see otherwise. They’ve allowed 5 or more runs in 7/12 games since the all star break and they’re miraculously 9-3. Sure enough the pitching staff held them off on Friday with the offense on a 3 game mini skid and they couldn’t hold an opponent to under 4 for a second game in a row when needed. That’s not complimentary baseball and we’ve been missing it practically all year.
  5. Freddy Peralta I could see as a target. I don’t know what happened to him but the good news is he’ll come with a cheaper price.
  6. This offense with a league average PCA is a less than elite offense. Solid, probably around a 106 wRC+, but not enough to be considered a legitimate postseason threat with optimistically a slightly above average pitching staff when everyone comes off the IL. They’ll need 148 wRC+ PCA for the remaining 38 games+ to sustain their elite pace. The 2023 Rangers is this teams blue print IMO.
  7. It’s unfair to ask PCA to sustain his 2 month 200+ wRC+. But this team may or may not have the pitching to pick up a less than elite offense.
  8. Need PCA to wake up. The offenses consistently lives and dies with him.
  9. Not to mention that the bullpen is well rested. Its indefensible.
  10. Over 90 pitches, facing a righty, facing a righty that’s already homered twice…… It’s not some hard to truth to say that Counsell horsefeathered up.
  11. I get letting him face Burleson but what the hell is he doing facing a righty who’s homered twice already off of him with a + 90 pitch count?
  12. That horsefeathers piece of horsefeathers again? This is a loss.
  13. Having a baserunner in any of the first 4 innings is important today
  14. A poster in here talked about how he adjusted his swing path last season specifically to mash righties. He’s in the lineup everyday without platooning, with no rest at that, maybe he adjusted his swing while sacrificing power? It’s strange and PCA has had no issues improving against left handed pitching while also improving against right handed pitching too. I have no horsefeathers clue. But the lack of rest is probably a factor.
  15. Relief pitchers can be fickle but Kyle Tuckers face plant is the biggest mystery.
  16. Overpay my ass. Now we have Boyd and Cabrera going instead of Taillon and Rea or whoever.
