Harold's Leg Lift

Obviously, I care.

Welcome back Grandal!

I see they finally have Goose playing 2B everyday but Colonel Klank is still on the dirt.

Collins is useless. Hopefully he never comes back.

It's not a demotion. It's putting players in the best situation to succeed.

It's not complicated. Craig Kimbrel closes shit. That's what he does.

They're super young for the league. There's no short season so they were aggressively assigned to low A and "struggles" were expected. All stats should be pretty much ignored in the low minors and they should be especially ignored for this group. They're on two year assignments.

Pffft. You obviously don't know how easy he is to hit.

You can't be this stupid.

Jose, you're not an offensive lineman. It's ok to just turn around and touch first base.

He's a smart dude.

Who?

I love Gordon Beckham. It's not his fault you overrated him.

Captain Tightpants has it workin early.

Ha. I didn't see that. Jeez that would have been great timing had they traded for him. This place would have burned down. BUT THE MEDICALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's plenty of them around here for ya.

Hells yes.

I disagree. Driving in runs is a skill.

"If you're hitting the ball hard you're playing well." Wow that's some advanced analysis there Jason. Where would we be without exit velocity.

The thirst for him to be put in the best position to succeed is weird. WTF

LaRussa is asleep in the dugout blah blah blah LaRussa is a button pusher blah blah blah LaRussa doesn't have the fire and the passion blah blah blah

How am I going to show everyone how much I think I know about baseball if I don't attempt to over analyze every insignificant play in a game?

Kimbrels only job he's ever known in professional baseball is to close while Hendriks has pitched in several different roles during his career. Hendrik's can pitch the 8th inning better than Kimbrel and Kimbrel can pitch the 9th inning better than Hendrik. It's pretty simple. Put the players in position where they can perform the best.

I just don't understand why they want to die on the Craig Kimbrel can pitch the 8th inning hill. It would be different if he wasn't one of the best closers in baseball history but those 371 career saves don't lie. Do something different.

I have no idea about that. I'm just saying they keep running Kimbrell out in the 8th inning despite it being a total fucking disaster.
