Well, that didn't take long. 5 games in and defense already cost us a game. Orioles Magic, feel it happen.

By the way, as bad as Reynolds' error was, Andino should have had that first play in the inning as well. It was ripped, no doubt, but it was right to him and went under his glove. Not sure how that was scored a hit?

I propose Andino gets an assist. .5 points?

I'll start putting these in the original post so they're not scattered all about and a little easier to keep track of. I'm only human, and can't watch every inning of every game. If there is a big enough outcry about a play that leads to a loss, I'll add it. Pretty simple. No half points, but multiple players can receive a point on the same play.

I can't remember all of them but I have counted 7 "mistakes" by Reynolds so far in 5 games. They aren't all errors, just plays that should have been made. Like the foul ball that he circled around twice last night. Horrible.

Reimold stinks in left, Davis can't scoop a throw except when he's lucky, and he sometimes drops balls right to his mitt, and Mark Reynolds at third makes me wanna vomit.

Solution?

Reynolds back to first, Davis to DH, Flaherty to third, and cross your fingers that no liners are hit Nolan's way in left.

Flaherty to third? You are kidding right? You want to make this kid an everyday third baseman?

No. I guess I forgot this thing...:rolleyes:

My point is we have NO ONE better for first or third.

I'd move Andino to third if his bat keeps playing as it is now. We could make one of Davis/Reynolds DH, the other 1B, dump Johnson, and bring up Antonelli. Faherty/ Antonelli could platoon at 2B....... Until BRob returns', of course. :laughlol:

2nd and 3rd have similar offensive projections these days anyway. I would not be adverse to having Dino at third and Antonelli at second.

Interesting point. It does seem like more teams teams are opting for the better D at third in lieu of the better offense. In addition to the O's, I guess the Tigers didn't get the memo.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
