I really like this team.  Record might be similar to last years team, the 2019 version will probably end up winning a few more games.  Detroit probably gets the #1 pick. But this team is infinite

Huge comback tonight. Manny. Davis scooping balls. JJ with the bunt, and that bullpen. Sick. 

We have that "it" factor. 

I saw some criticism of the bunt decision in the game thread, but to me, that was about the perfect situation for it -- down by one, late innings, home game, runner on second nobody out, weak hitter at the plate, better hitters coming up.    And Hardy really did lay down a beauty.

Some great at bats in game 2 of the series.  Seth Smith, Wellington Castillo, Hyun-Soo Kim.  Mark Trumbo with good baserunning.

Smith is a damn good hitter man

And beautiful swing on that single.

Heart will get you some come-from-behind wins. Heart plus a really god bullpen should get you a lot of them.

 

Add a Dylan Bundy being anywhere close to what he showed on Wednesday and you have a title contender.

The Smith trade is looking real good so far. He has a better arm than I thought.

I've been really impressed with Castillo behind the plate. He looks like he presents a good low target. I also like how he seems to be constantly communicating with the pitchers.

On a side note, Trumbo looks faster. He really got down the line to beat out that dp.

(vs. D-RAYS, 4/26)

 

When we were losing by a score of 4-3 heading into the bottom of the 11th, scOtt kept the faith, while most others did not.

Huge win. Kim, Flaherty and Smith all with walks. The big bats need to see that you don't need 4 hits in an inning or a homer to score runs. 

Davis walked twice and Machado walked once. Are they "big bats"?

In addition to his 2 walks, Davis started it all in the 11th and final inning with a lead-off single.

It was small-ball night for the big man.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
