TBH I'd have a bunt there too. The problem was execution.

Man I love Chris Sale.

Sexy K

Tired of diving catches this series.

Not a hit but I thought a good AB from Semien. It's like with more experience he gets more comfortable.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 06:43 AM) As it always is with prospects. I might just want to be contrarian because the last board I was at everyone thought he was automatically going to come into the major leagues and kill it, but he just isn't that elite prospect some think he is. I'm just not a fan of high strike out rates. BBR has him at 134SO/443ABs in AAA Reno last year, 30% of his at bats, and 27% of his plate appearances. I'm don't want another high power high strikeout guy. Hopefully he gets better in the minors, and he can, but I don't see him being impressive if he comes up this year. He isn't a sure thing unless he can clear up his D. I think it's worth emphasizing his AAA was a down year. His AA season in a tougher league for hitters is the hope for him. He deserves time to adjust.

Surprise surprise. Great managing Robin.

Garbage bullpen is garbage.

Nieto played great today. Clean d, Johnny seemed to like his calls, and good at bats. In spring training I was worried about his passed balls.

Could go for no runs please.

Does it not hurt batters when they foul balls off of they're ankle?

Come on Alexei let it rip!

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 09:17 PM) Not a single hard hit ball with RISP today. Something that's noticeable about this lineup is that there are only 5 guys in it that are threats to hit double-digit homers. Welcome to MLB Baseball 2014

Going to cry if this isa 1-2-3 inning.

Bruce Chen ... 7 Ks. 1 ER.

I can't believe this Bruce Chen s*** is still happening.

Alexei looks like he's having more fun with the bat this year.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 08:26 PM) Could have been a lot worse. I know it's impossible to rattle the best but hopefully the long Time in the dug out messes with Chen. I guess that's our only hope to ever beat Chen.

35 pitches in fourth. Lucky our bullpen is great.

Nice low fastball.

Ugh this is hard to watch.

Fun inning.

I can't believe that shot got him to third.

I though he crushed it.

Want to see more crotch catches from Abreu.
