Andrus is gonna catch one of these here.  He's fouling straight back.

At least he threw two sliders and got a foul and ball with them.

I have seen games end on 3rd strikes where the catcher has to throw to first.

But never when it's taken a fantastic bullet from the C to just beat the runner.   Wow.

And their game ending highlight montage showed Joey missing the HR and then celebrating it!

It went to the backstop because it was a swing at a wild pitch or because Severino flubbed it in the first place?

It was out of the strike zone but it didn't bounce.   I think it went off the tip of Sevy's mitt at an angle.

I fell asleep for a few innings in the middle of the game, which means I'm going to be up for a few hours.

Anyway, iTunes has the McConaughey movie the Lincoln Lawyer for sale for 5 bucks.  Sold.  It's the movie that started the McConnaissance, IIRC.

Anyway, the opening credits are rolling and Josh Lucas is in this movie.  I almost threw the remote when I saw that name.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      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.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By waroriole · Posted

      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.

      I agree…just not sure the Os will feel that way.

      By waroriole · Posted

      Yeah I can see Rivera at DH. That’s probably a better choice than Kjerstad against Skubal. I’d definitely go with Mullins and Cowser over Slater. Slater has been really bad against LH this year. Only a .543 OPS. He’s actually worse than Cowser against LH and slightly better than Mullins.

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1. It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything.

      Chayce McDermott 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I don’t think he’s gonna be a part of any playoff roster, but kudos for him to rehab all the way back just to be an option for us if needed.  Also, hopefully now he’s shaken the injury and can have a normal offseason and normal fall instructs.  He’s a dude that if he could just be another Dean Kremer, would be huge for this org.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      My guess is vs Skubal or Ragans, the Os will go with an IF of Gunnar, Westy, Mounty and Urias.  Rivera will DH. Santander starts in RF. Obviously one of Cowser or Mullins starts but do both of them start?  Would they start Slater? Lefties hit Ragans much better than righties do this year. Everyone is terrible vs Skubal although lefties are worse.
