Wow, just embarrassing. Kremer craps the bed. Frobby, disregard my first post here today.

I hope so, he’s awful. Sick of hearing all his little references to LOTR or Star Wars or “midges“? Wth? Just call the game. At least that’s what this guy tonight is doing.

Who’s calling the game w/ JP?

Gotta swing at strikes.

Kremer is trending up! Even Frobby should watch. Ok, that’s as much optimism as I’ve mustered in a while.

That is why, to this day, I still enjoy the Bard. Just so damn relevant!

Pretty sure Tony said he doesn’t have a knuckler that “dances”, it’s got some vertical movement. Apparently, not enough.

“I like our guys!”

Not like they’re running away with it. Besides, with pitchers like Harvey and Jorge Lopez with the occasional stinker from Kremer, Akin and Zimmerman I like our guys! Ok, seriously....Harvey doesn’t look good. Even in innings when he gives up no runs he looks like he got away with something. His velocity is still up, maybe he can even tick up a bit in the pen. Then, he can hurt the team more than once a week. Ok, not serious.

Not what I meant....securing the first pick in the draft.

Idk, what are they gonna do, cut Severino? ?

Elias likes Harvey. Whenever it’s his turn to start he gets them one step closer to another first round pick.

Yeah, he’s not bad.

Did I hear they were trying Jones in the OF?

You agree he’s bad at catching the ball, but you refuse to call him lazy even though why he’s bad at catching the ball isn’t related to his ability to do so? There are things anyone can do as a catcher to improve their defense. Not sliding with the pitch and dropping to your knees to block the ball suggests poor effort. Or, he’s lazy.

Still like to see him improve his SB%. ?

For a manager who’s a former catcher you’d think he’d have a better appreciation for defense at that position.

Two thirds of an inning on 6/11 vs TB was his last outing before CLE.

And before that it was like a week. He didn’t look great the last time either.

How about the fact he rarely gets down and slides in front of balls in the dirt to block them correctly? He reaches for a lot of balls when he should be blocking them, it’s literally the definition of a lazy catcher.

Fry hasn’t had much work lately.

Big run there. Nice job Galvis.

Sure, I suspect it’s about the money.

Scott has a tendency to fall in love with his slider and as JP says, it’s an ok slider. The thing that makes it good is his ability to throw a 97 mph FB. He needs to use both.
