Roberts has done a real good job and it showing how much he talked to folks during BP and in the lockerroom to prepare.

They should give Perez the 8th unless he allows a few runners to get on base.

Adley hasn't looked comfortable at the plate for a couple of game now.

C'mon, show some respect for differing opinions. I wanted Adley but just because someone wanted a talented player like Witt doesn't make them a dumbass.

I was just responding more towards the entire situation vs your accurate stat post.

Witt Jr. Has stolen 20 out of 24 bases before that try and was actually safe until he overslid the bag. Rutschman has struggled to throw out runners this year and it took a pitch out and he still was safe until he overslid the bag.

He's got a 4-1 lead and as at 72 pitches. I think it was too early. Maybe you don't let him face the tie run at the plate, but you got to let him see if he can get the next guy.

I'm not sure you get baseball. lol Why would he not try and get in scoring position with two outs?

Personally I don't think they should start playing matchups offensively until the 7th inning unless it's a key situation and the platoon difference was huge and you gain a defensive advantage. And certainly not in a 4-1 game.

Vespi was optioned.

72 pitches and Capt Hook is like, that's enough with the top of the order coming up. I guess I get it but probably would have let him see if he could get next guy and then pulled him if he had two guys on and Perez coming up. Either way, good outing by Irvin. Oh, and pulling O'Hearn in the 5th for McKenna is a huge head scratcher? There were two outs. No idea?

Agreed. I don't know what that conversation was about. Maybe Roberts hopes he gets in because then he might! lol

Nice to see Irvin pitching well.

Well Massey's robbery of Lester's groundball is the only reason it's not.

Does Captain America have some kind of kryptonite? I'm not much on super heroes but whatever CA has, it's up and in fastballs for Rutschman.

With the way he's hitting right now, I like Henderson at leadoff when Mullins returns. Mullins would be a very good 6th or 7th hitter.

Damn, I thought that CF had a bead on that! Gunnar is on fire!!

Your literal comment , "I find the practice annoying myself but for some folks it's less greed and more making rent and putting food on the table." Just sayin'.

That Hicks catch had a .710 xBA, but I'm sure it was a hard catch because he made it hard. lol.. I'm betting that's at least a 2-star catch.

Good Lord Aaron Hicks is playing well! Impressive!

But he only took them once! He swears! lol

Career was never really the same afterwards either. Ashamed really.

Clearly to you that's correct. I have little doubt you 100% had an issue with a throw away comment in a game thread that called this a "revenge" game for a player who might possibly want revenge for the team that released him.

Don't try and stop CoC's bleeding heart. People got to eat man. They gotta get there early, pay $35 bucks for a seat, then get a bobblehead and put it EBAY to eat man. things are rough out there!

Agreed, it's not a perfect metric to judge, but if you want to find a .510 xBA play where the outfielder made a nice play, but it was because he made it a nice play by misplaying, feel free to show me.
