Huge start here for Carroll's future this season.

Huge start here for Carroll's future this season.

 

The big field should play well to a guy who has a lot of balls put into play.

With Carroll pitching we need good defense and let's strive to bring the offense early and often

Looking at that lineup makes me depressed. Man it would be nice to have more than 1/3rd of our opening day OF healthy.

It's depressing that we're going to be stuck cutting DeAza or buying out his contract instead of getting ANYTHING in return.

 

Keeping DeAza still makes sense, because he was insurance for any injury in the outfield (and we've had two now), but the fact that he's not a better option than Sierra or Leury Garcia against LHP is telling.

 

You can guarantee in Oakland that SOMETHING will happen with Garcia out there in CF. It's Oakland. Expect fog banks to roll in.

HEY GAME THREAD!

46 K's in 142 AB's (not PA's) for Semien...whether Keppinger's 100% ready or not, they need to give Marcus a breather and a chance to rebuild some confidence in Charlotte.

 

The problem is you have four middle infielders there now with Saladino, Sanchez and Micah.

 

 

45 in 159 AB's for Abreu.

 

 

Not the most promising of starts. LOL.

At least it took six pitches to get him out.

 

Maybe they can trade a couple of those IF prospects for a good outfielder.

3 up 3 KKK's

Abreu chases too many pitches..

 

Oakland has to have the most annoying ballpark in the league.. Its hard to even have the volume on while we are batting

Been a while since they got a hit in the first

At some point, even that's not going to be enough. He battled back and made the pitcher work, but he's unable to put the ball into play and use his speed. If he could just put the ball to the left side of the infield, he could pick up some cheap hits like Eaton gets frequently.

I swear Conor did last night

Good DP.

Somehow we're only 5th in the majors in K%

Oh I agree. Just pointing out that without Eaton he's still probably our best leadoff option even though he leaves much to be desired.

Seriously, why do we put a mic in this stadium? Holy s***

Stupid defense

Son of a b**** already.

Holy god Viciedo sucks in the OF

Its so demoralizing to give up runs like that especially in the first

Who is the OF coach anyway?

Never seen a team give up so many 2 out runs EVER.
