So I haven't been connected with the forum much lately but have been watching as much as I can. What the general consensus, is there anything this team does well? I know we have a little more speed than we've been having.

Well we wanted to focus on better defense. That went down the toilet.

Our catchers are pretty good at throwing out runners (or at least they were for a stretch). I can’t think of any other team wide good attribute. There are a couple good individual performers...like Trey.

Hess doctored the ball in his no hit performance against the Blue Jays. Change my mind.

The Jays were an abysmal offensive club before Jr showed up.

At Roch’s Blog I asked how many homers Hess would give up and in how many innings.

my own guess was five in three.

20% of the way there....

They are just sitting on Hess's first pitch...

That is plenty of information to tell the story. No need to extrapolate.

Now we are waiting for Trumbo to come back, so we can put him out in RF...

I play right field, it's important you know...

I still have a little speed, I can catch a flight ball, I enjoy the game, and will play for the league minimum. I'm just saying...

But since this is the game thread, and I have nothing better to do right this minute, I just read this piece of information in the gamecast ........

 

LeMahieu continues in his plate appearance after dropped foul ball by second baseman Alberto.

Every few years I ask myself why ML players don't use two hands to make a catch when they have the time to cover the ball with the bare hand. This seems like a good time to ask myself that. So I just did.

You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw...
