I think our bullpen needs a break. We are going to have to pitch well out West. Can't expect the offense to carry us vs those teams in those parks.

We need the Pen and starters and offense and defense all hitting on all 16 cylinders after the break!

Fearsome part of our schedule! :(

2-0 and you swing. That is worse than Jones at bat.

I don't think that it's worse.

At most, it's just as bad.

Jones' failed plate appearance/over-anxiousness came at a more crucial point in the game, also (runners on 1st and 2nd base with nobody out, and the score 1-0.)

It's one game in the twilight. We haven't swung the bats that great all week except that one inning in Washington. I am more concerned about that trend then this game.

Yep. This game is about how they have been hitting. I'm not really concerned though. Once you accept that this is a middle of the road offense and will continue to be, it makes it less stressful/worrisome.

Thoroughly disappointing performance today.The tone was set as soon as Markakis swung at the first pitch of the game and made an out.

So that pitch changed the game? Had Nick made an out 5 pitches in that would have changed everything? The Jones AB was the key moment.

Yeah but Jones is a better player and if he gets a hit the game is tied or we get the lead. We are down three and need another runner on base with a guy that threw 6 balls in 7 pitches.

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
