vs. YANKEES, 7/18

At the time there was 1 runner on and 1 out. I'm not sure how you're going to be blame Manny here for the entire inning.

He takes the walk, then bases become loaded with Trumbo walk, or Nova has to throw Trumbo a strike at 3-0, we have a run in with Wieters HBP, etc.

That's a huge assumption that Nova will magically walk Trumbo after walking Manny. It's not a guarantee that the same sequence of events occurs.

No, he might have had to pitch to the home run leader at 3-0 rather than having an open base with 2 out.

That's not my point. Just because he walked Trumbo on 4, doesn't mean that he goes 3-0 after walking Manny.

Regardless, plenty of blame to go around. I'm actually much more irked at Pedro's poor AB.

I expect more out of Manny than Pedro, but yeah, it didn't make me go "yay" either...lol.

    • Since April 23. 7 for 28 including 2 doubles, 1 triple, and 1 homer.   5 walks.  3 strikeouts.  
    • I’d be very surprised too but it’s all about talent and where you draft.  At 22 it’s tough to get high ceiling talent.  I’d guess Brecht is a reliever at the next level but he’s got dominant reliever upside.  His stuff, reportedly, is as good as any pitcher in the draft.  95 strikeouts in 55 innings as a starter.  
    • He's already a HOF.  It's just that his injuries have killed his chances of being an Inner Circle HOF.
    • With three more hits today, Etzel is at .360/.992. He has 171 MiLB at bats, so a third of a season. Which projects to a full season with:  513 AB 111 R 39 2B 12 3B 12 HR 114 RBI 93 BB 123 SO 90 SB 21 CS .339 AVG .445 OBP .532 SLG Not too shabby!    
    • I would love for someone to explain or justify to me how in the world Mullins catch on 4/15 is listed at 65% catch probability. There are a couple of guys in the league that make that catch but it’s a very short list. Maybe I just don’t understand the stat.
    • Not sure a pitcher technically can get “squeezed” by the automated strike zone but Povich had a number of borderline pitches tonight that could go the other way.  Handley was visibility perturbed by a few of the calls on walks and Povich doubled over in disbelief on a couple of walk calls. He reminds me a little of Tom Glavine how he throws, his wind up, how he hides the ball and how it explodes out his hand….sort of effortless. I heard the announcer for the Sound say Povich’s curveball hasn’t had a hit against it all year long and every other pitch is around .100 batting avg against.  In person, his fastball has a lot more giddy up than the radar shows.  98 pitches tonight and looks like he has a rubber arm.  
    • a game you'd hope Mullins, Mountcastle or Santander would step up and were let down.
