Reynolds is due!

Reynolds has been struck out every single time he's faced Cliff Lee in his career. Five times. The odds weren't good.

Especially considering Lee probably let his temper flare up a little after surrendering 3 consecutive singles and decided he'd reach back and blow a couple pitches by a batter that strikes out anyway.

Reynolds K's. Swing away, don't keep taking pitches from Lee. It's the only way to beat him.

Exactly right. Gotta find a way to put the wood on the ball. He's putting it in the strike zone somewhere (because the pitches are getting called), so you have to find a way to make contact and either foul it off or put it in play. All but one of our base hits in the 1st were on the first pitch. This is going to be a good game for us to be free-swinging: if Lee is throwing strikes, quite a few of them will be hittable for a base hit. You can't really throw the ball in the strike zone without making at least a semi-hittable pitch. That's why the strike zone exists. :laughlol:

Cliff Lee is counting on players like Reynolds to stand there and watch the ball go by for an easy out. Don't let him win.

    • 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.
