OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Apollo, you wanna to ring the Bell?

They might actually have to pull the trigger on Keuchel if Lyles has to go on the IL. Even if they brought up Keller and Agrazal, they'd be running a crapshoot rotation.

Shoulda pulled that trigger 2 weeks ago.

Haha....pretty funny line by Wehner on Dietrich. "he runs when is supposed to be walking, walks when he is to be running." Yeah, Dietrich seems like "look at me everyone" dbag to me, with the all out sprinting on returning the ball to the pitcher.

The season is officially over.

[lordstanley91]

The pitching is brutal

As I stated 2 weeks ago, run differential tells the true tale. chickens have come home to roost.


PS.. Austin Meadow for Archer would have been an all time bad trade

yikesssss

PSS... Nutting could have hired me as a part time GM for 50k per and I would do a better job than NH... that's a fact.

 

[FlightlessBird]

Hilarious that they can’t score when they’re doing the promotion where they take $1 off of tickets per each run scored this series. Probably not scoring on purpose

I’m going on Friday... and I was so happy after game 1.

Yep. About that.

Newman with the grand slam!


Does it with his Dad in attendance.

 

[Winger for Hire]

I think its starting to really click for Newman.

Makes me wish they gave him some more reps at the end of last season.

In May he's carrying a .351/.422/.474 (before tonight) in 64 PAs

 

[wheelz87]

Just keep Reynolds in the lineup, please.

 

[lordstanley91]

And he’s hurt lol

 

[Clare2904]

I'm watching these lot week after next in Milwaukee, am I going to be watching their AAA team?

 

[Empoleon8771]

They really need to start treating Newman like their everyday SS, it's getting nonsensical at this point that they haven't done that yet.

AAA rotation probably, but the lineup should be pretty much there full MLB lineup

Newman does need to start getting more starts, even if it's at 2nd or 3rd. I still am of the mind that Tucker is being setup to fail with him being cemented in the 8 spot.

Yes, he's not doing fantastic in any other spot (minus the SSS at leadoff), but I don't see why Hurdle keeps putting him there, especially games when Stallings is in the lineup. Just make a small adjustment to the lineup instead of trying the same shit over and over again that's proven to not work.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Amen.

He's literally batting almost 200 points higher than Tucker.

Tucker's defence doesn't make up for that.

 

[Coastal Kev]

I saw Tucker playing in Charleston a few years back, here's my very basic impression of the kid.

Carries himself like a big league'r and sure looked the part; He really stood out on the field among his peers. But... he looked concerning at the plate. Again to my untrained eye, he seemed to be guessing up there. One time he would be way late on an offspeed and the next pitch he would be way out front of the heat. Who knows what he eventually becomes, kid does carry himself as a star, hopefully he puts it together enough to match his swag.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Rainout looming today – as was exactly the case when the last game got rained out vs. Cincy, obviously it would be better to take our chances whenever the makeup game is rather than with who is slated to start today.

Here's to one more day of deferring the inevitable!

 

[Winger for Hire]

I think Hurdle's lineup card just has "SS" autofilled in the 8th spot, no matter what, and he doesn't have any Whiteout to fix it.

There's no logical reason to have Newman below Moran AND Diaz right now. You're just making it easier to pitch around one of the team's hottest hitters.
