Engel is terrible

 

 

No he’s not

Why does Farquhar pitch every game?

not sure but he did a good job today and yesterday.

No he’s not

Maybe I should have clarified. He is terrible at baseball. He can’t catch and he can’t hit. Is he not terrible at something else?

I think his general role is middle relief. We are going to see him a lot in the 6th inning this year and for the 1st or 2nd out of the 7th. It is odd, though, because they do have Infante to fill that role as well. And I haven't seen much of him. I guess I view Minaya as more of an 8th inning guy.

why do we have so many middle inning lefties?

It was mentioned earlier, but man that white on white look behind the plate, is awesome.

You mean all 2 of them?

Honestly I'm ok with it, if we fall out of the race and the lefties perform they can possibly net some former top prospect like Casey Gillespie.

Davidson walks again.

I guess my question was more why are they pitching to so many righties.

Walk rate, strikeout rate, and exit velocity all stabilize very quickly. It's so encouraging to see Davidson making such significant strides in all 3.

3. Bummer, Avilan, and Santiago (although, he is long-relief, so not sure if you want to count him or not).

I wrote that considering Santiago as long relief, yes

Ok that Hawk call was pretty terrible

This is a fun club, hope the fans come out for them this summer.

Why is grass green?

 

Why is the sky blue?

 

Davidson hustling home from first. Burnin up the base paths to score a run!

First time poster dropping into say - Beautiful day for baseball, eh boys?

 

Atta boy Leury (Doubles in Davidson as I type)

 

Let's finish the win off, call it a successful home opener and get the hell out of here.

Tim Anderson walks twice?! wow.

Anderson and Davidson each have 2 walks

how long did it take TA to get three walks last year? couple months?

4 walks between Anderson and Davidson in a single game. Never thought I'd see that.

Tim Anderson walks twice?! wow.

I'm sayin!! He's seeing the ball very well early on. In fact, him, Abreu, Avi, Davidson, Castillo and Yolmer all are. I only wish I could say the same about Moncada, but even he has had a couple big hits in this young season.

It's a good omen in my humble opinion.

Going to go out on a huge limb and guess that Anderson has never walked twice in a single game before...

 

Perhaps indicative of a little more comfortability up there this year? We'll see - I suppose.
