Anyone who thinks that was on Anderson is likely padding their agenda. That's on Skole.

Defense is a total joke. Anderson can't make a clean throw to save his life.

Skole should make that though

Had all the time in the world. Once again showed no instincts by rushing the throw.

Here we go again with the defense.

Abreu really should have helped out Gonzalez, he was close enough to call him off and make that play.

Skole SHOULD have scooped that ball out of the dirt, it wasn’t an exceedingly difficult ball to catch compared to most.

Gonzalez and Narvaez seem to be battling for worst player on the team.

I thought the sarcasm was pretty evident, and I was posting that in the small sliver of time between the Gonzalez error and Tim's error

Apparently some people actually agreed with the sarcastic point

I tend to listen more to a ML pitcher who probably threw to 50 ML catchers in his career than blame a catcher trying to catch ML stuff. Juco players don't catch for ML pitchers.

 This is basic 2+2 catching. Every single solitary catcher will tell you that has to be blocked. Sutcliffe simply explained the reasoning as to why Gonzalez may have made the miscue. He didn't say it wasn't a miscue.

 Inexcusable and this isn't really a conversation.

Well, between Palka, Delmonico and Skole...we have three of essentially the same player.

He should have absolutely, but it's not like he hasn't been spiking throws all season.

Stone really doesn't like Kopech, does he?

Well, the dude was struggling to put up Engel/Thompson OPS numbers in the minors...including a .169 BA.

When the ball bounced in, Gomes was 2 feet from the bag. Not sure how that qualifies as “all the time in the world,” but one pump and he would have been safe regardless

That was not Anderson ‘s fault 

I have a bad feeling about this

Delmonico doesn't have close to the power of the other two, and sadly, he's the best fielder of the three.

What? He said his offspeed pitches are coming along & that he has a bright future

I wish Zavala was healthy

He started by saying you see the lack of K and makes you wonder if stuff isn't as good as it used to be. He then talked about the secondary, but it seemed at first to be a backhanded compliment.

I was happy to hear him be complimentary about him.

Pretty sure he was joking. He did have 7 k's in 6 innings.

That’s not what he said. He said “you see 7 K’s in 6 innings and you think that maybe he didn’t have his best stuff,” and then you evidently didn’t hear Benetti chuckle. He was obviously being sarcastic.

You’re on a roll today

Anderson made a nice play. Guys who have  been practicing the basics their whole lives come up and cannot function.

There has to be some backstory there, with all the rumors about the kid having kind of an attitude maybe him and Stone didn't click when they met.

Has Skole played a lot of 1b in his career?
