vs. D-RAYS, 7/31

[scOtt]

No damage at least. Pitch count getting out of hand.

[Il BuonO]

Whew

That 3B coach should be sent home. Gotta send a speedy guy like Hays home with their ace on the mound. Got to. 

That’s a reaction play by the runner not a 3B coach call.

Why is Cobb nibbling against the 9 hitter and Choi? Get after it!

1. Lack of (enough) command.

2. Umpires making either impartial or Rays-leaning calls.

3. Gun-shy. Afraid of getting hit hard.

4. Not realizing that it makes it worse when you throw a lot of balls instead of getting ahead in the count.

5. Tense/afraid because he's already given up a lead and doesn't want to give up more.

6. Tense/afraid because he knows the Rays are good.

Possibly all of the above.

 

Unrelated: Melanie Newman.

Meh. I’d take Perlman over her

I think they're both gorgeous.

Snell is locked in now. They had their chance in the 1st and blew it.

[MurphDogg]

Quit setting up off the plate!

[MurphDogg]

Cobb is mostly hitting his spots, Severino is just setting up off the plate. Give him a target in the strike zone.

I hate that. Then, he misses exactly by that much.

He still has a pitch count max of 60, they have plenty of time.

[scOtt]

Sawed off! Literally.

[SteveA]

A 10 pitch walk.

[Chavez Ravine]

That was a demoralizing at bat.

[allquixotic]

Catcher shouldn't be setting up off the plate unless the count is 0-2 or 1-2, IMO.
