  1. Yep - they keep his pitch count higher end get him out by 5.1 or 6 that’s a win in my book
  2. Life is simpler now - Skenes tomorrow, but thank goodness the bats came alive. Jo-boo awakened bats
  3. I did see that he had two line outs, so solid contact is always a plus. As @Geographyhater8888 stated, his plate discipline and appearances has been much improved. What’s impressed me and most fans lately, is the growth, production, and maturity of Ben Brown.
  4. Definitely better plate appearances for sure from the last couple games I was able to watch. I missed today’s game due to a blackout market game (I live near Philly), so I missed the catches. His glove is elite to say the least, but his overall hitting or lack thereof is concerning. Then again - the whole horsefeathers team is struggling. @Rcal10 called me on it too - I’m just bitching and venting. Ugh - onward I guess
  5. If you would have said that a year ago I would have died laughing……a lot can change in a few weeks huh? I agree - he’s a positive takeaway. PCA long term contract isn’t aging well, along with some others. This team is in a full on freefall.
  6. They'll be there in no time. Most likely stay there too. People can say the whole, “it’s only the end of -May - relax” nonsense. It’s a third of the way through the season. No signs of life - pitching staff in disarray and simply put….,they’re just not that good. They had their streak of wins. 70-75 win team. I’d be cool to see them turn it around, but they’re just not built for it with injuries and management.
  7. Suzuki pisses me off - how many times with two strikes and it’s close he sits and watches it. Go down swinging! Protect the horsefeathers plate - this is horsefeathers they teach little leaguers
  8. They would offer to cover their travel costs there and back
  9. Whatever comes from this game - good on you, Ben Brown! Great work
  10. I just glanced at Miz’s stats - dude has nine strikeouts after 4.0 innings. Kid is a machine. That would be cool to have a shutdown Ace. 🤔
  11. I gave my buddy some solid fantasy baseball advice: Just pick up ANY pitcher that is facing the Cubs on the waiver and you should be set for the foreseeable future. Sad, but true. This has to end soon, right? Right?
  12. Why do I have this overwhelming feeling of “same horsefeathers different day?” It’s like Groundhog’s Day with this team the last 14 games
  13. When you get runners on base but can move them across the plate that’s an issue - small ball comes in handy at certain times. They sure as hell aren’t hitting for slug either lol. How about we agree on this: there is a horsefeathers ton wrong with this team? More than small ball or slugging
  14. Seriously lol - Shota had 3-4 solid starts. He’s our “Ace” by default, so I think it’s fair to say, this season’s outlook is bleak to say it nicely
  15. PCA showing some great plate discipline - gotta look for the positives during a funk I guess
  16. Absolutely! It’ll wake these vets up a bit too! Success breeds success, so wtf you have to lose by letting these young guys get some quality ABs? F it
  17. Yes!!! 🙌 I was waiting for a post with this reference. Hats off to you sir
  18. That’s how you shake horsefeathers up in lineup - let the youngins eat
