I want a bat this offseason. If we spend big money on Shark and not a bat I'm going to be pissed off.

 

Not a huge bat, but I think Derek Norris for catcher could make sense. Padres have Hedges waiting to take over.

That's it, golden opportunity and nothing to show for it just like earlier in the year.

You mean like all year... I've seen similar trickling down the leg type play all season.

At least Trayce is 2-2. I have higher hopes for him than I do Saladino.

Second and third nobody out and that happens? LOL.

 

Saladino - overmatched, whiff.

Abreu - clueless on the strikeout pitch way outside of the zone; waved at it like a complete stiff.

Melky - nice little drive to right; Royals have Sox scouted perfectly; Rios makes it look harder than it was.

 

LOL. Failure. Bad teams don't score in that situation; we have a bad team!

Not sure of the rule on that ground rule double by Trayce. I think that ball hit the left fielder before it bounced into the stands. Should be two bases from there.

nope, if it's a deflection like that, it doesn't count as possession.

Nasty. I like.

ehhh... Trayce looks pretty stiff up there.

 

Can't say I agree with that.

His swing/approach has always been stiff. He's so tall and lanky, some of his actions look strange.

Abreu REALLY has to fix some of his horrible at bats.

 

They guy gives away 30% of his at bats and still almost hits .300.

 

It's ridiculous

Filthy. Destroys Morales.

Nasty. I like.

 

Holy smokes, just hope he's ok. Seems to be smirking.

Is he seriously pairing a slider varying between 90 and 93 with a 99 mph fastball?

Jones is bringing it

There we go, 100.

Gameday is saying the 90 mph pitch is a changeup. All I know is the sliders he threw to Morales were incredible.

There we go, 100.

 

Does he look really uncomfortable to you after he releases the ball?

Way more Lincecum-ish than Danish. Fulmer absolutely dominated the best conference in the NCAA. Biggest concern with him, IMO, is his mediocre command. I'm excited about his potential, but I have a feeling his first year will resemble Rodon's this year.

 

L.Ron said earlier Danks delivery is max effort and that could describe Fulmer from what I've been reading and because of that some see him as a reliever. He night need a few years before we see him at the big league level.

Yes he does

No more than usual, he always had that really weird motion.

I can't see him changing his mechanics much, so I'm sure they'll keep him as a starter and just hope for the best.

Well, Jones looked fantastic. If he's healthy, an 8th-9th inning of him and Robertson is nasty.

His delivery reminded me of McCarthy. It's really quick and he flies through it. Didn't make me think of Danks. He's not as lanky so it's like he just starts and explodes forwards.
