The Rays are 6-4 in their last 10 games and we were only up 1.5 not that long ago. Unfortunately they just got 4 games against a Seattle team that is 3-7 in their last 10.
I would really like to be able to move him back down to 2 or 3, but I’m not sure Mullins (or anyone else) is ready to replace his production at lead off.
Unless maybe it would make more sense to have Henderson there? At least he has some speed.
Santander and O’Hearn would have gotten to it while looking as uncomfortable as possible. You’re right about Cowser, though - that guy is the king of letting balls that he should catch drop in front of him.
100%. That team was so frustrating to watch sometimes. A few weeks back, they had Adam Jones on the telecast, they were talking about how high his chase rate was, and I was cringing.
Everyone has a job. Does that mean no one should ever share their opinions?
Maybe the fans should stop being headcases and judge him based on his performance.
It might be my imagination because I’m not a Flaherty fan, but watching the other players in the dugout when he starts struggling, it doesn’t really seem like they have any affection for him as a teammate.
