Did John just claim Palacios is part of an org wide emphasis on controlling the strike zone?

I'm on it -- @WestEddy

Sounds like an Italian appetizer.

chase and sosa both have strong arms imo. not like uribe strong but still pretty strong, league average at worst.

He has nothing on his off speed today.

I hate how quiet John gets too after a bad result. Really just feels like a funeral.

of course it was ruled e 7 you clueless dope schriffen. this bullpen, lol man.

that's a single and an error.

I have missed having hit tool ready MLB players more than I possibly realized. Just having Quero and Meidroth is good for a couple extra hits a week with RISP.

it's because he gears up with his slow ass swing and is just up there guessing.

It's a joke it took so long to get Elko up. he's playable whereas Vaughn is not.

A lot of people figured he'd have a chance to hit but turning into an elite defensive catcher while hitting his 90th percentile offensive projection is crazy. I mean it happens, scouting is imperfect, but personally just as a baseball fan never figured it would be him, even after a strong rookie season.

Smith?

Nice hustle Rojas. More money lit on fire.

at least he runs into one every few days.

Cal Raleigh turning into a legit superstar is fucking bizarre.

The at this point obviously directed PR to try and puff him up on the broadcast is more concerning than his performance. They think the fans are this stupid? Who's the voice of reason here in the fan side of the FO? Someone should tell Getz in the next meeting they are fooling nobody talking about his hard hit rate.

And not throw the ball all over the park as well.

Used to annoy the piss out of me but I was just some DIII scrub not a highly compensated professional. Get him a SAD lamp in his locker and some hand warmers.

48 and drizzle, yikes. Might be a good thing it's at least a day game.

Smith against Logan Evans. Meidroth, Vargas, Thaiss, Robert, Sosa, Palacios, Vaughn, Elko, Rojas. Wild how guys go from top of the order to bottom almost on a coin flip with this team.

if nothing else you feel good for the guys to get a win. it's not all their faults this franchise put them in this spot.

Is there an alt universe where we keep him as the everyday catcher and we win the WS?

I mean, Meidroth had a nice game. Houser and somehow the pen shut them down. Incredible to win a 1-0 game really given the names on the pitching docket.

that's awful
