Way to go Austin! Hi Guys--this is the first time I've signed on to a game thread this season. To be honest, I had been so shaken by the passing of ScOtt that I felt like I just couldn't come bac

Hope Watkins is ok but he’s the worst pitcher in baseball.  Get Grayson up here.

During this pitching change, AR was over at the dugout from 1B talking to one of the coaches the whole time. Love that. (Don’t know if he’s been doing that the whole game as DH, wouldn’t doubt it)

From what we've seen this season, he seems overrated defensively, altho better than DJ Stewart of course. We'll have other outfielders up soon enough.

Like Stowers! Ha that’s a joke on me…

I'll take a 3-3 homestand vs the Yankees and Rays.

Now let's see if we can pull off a 4-4 road trip to Yankee Stadium and Fenway.   

3-4 unfortunately, but yeah, it could have been worse.  Glad we kept it close to 500.

Why is that a joke? He's red-hot!

I've been part of his cheering squad since last season.  A couple of weeks ago he hit a slump and was constantly striking out.  I then officially and publicly took myself off his bandwagon -- only to watch him come back even stronger, capped by today's 3 HR game...joke's on me!

That was an awesome game, though I could only listen on radio because I’m quarantining in a room with no TV after returning from a trip where there’s a high probability I was exposed to people who have Covid.   

I’ve got to hand it to Hyde, he pushed all the right buttons in a game that threw him a ton of curve balls.

      Breaking down Holliday’s swing

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      I think it’s fair to ask if he’s getting much to hit. With all the walks, it certainly seems like teams are staying away from him, even more so than Mayo. Would be nice to get some real reports about what is going on down there.

      Melanie Newman: Bautista possibly back for September/October?

      By IPlayGM · Posted

      I take it more as this is the talk behind the scenes and she just didn’t read the room well enough to know she wasn’t supposed to say anything.

      Breaking down Holliday’s swing

      By Aglets · Posted

      OK, as Holliday is now actually playing baseball games again, I feel like it's time to return to these updates.  He only played in 4 games this past week.   He went 3 for 12 (with 6 BB).    His line was .250/.500/.333. Since returning to AAA overall he is hitting .252/.425/.421  (.847).   48 BB to 50 K's. Elite plate discipline,  but would really love to see him driving the ball just a little bit more.

      Optimal position player roster for second half and playoffs?

      By IPlayGM · Posted

      While I love OPS, it isn’t a great measurable for Bradfield, especially compared to some of our other guys. He will never have that awe inspiring OPS because he won’t carry the slugging, which is the part of the stat that makes the OPS jump. I would argue that if he has a .800 OPS in the bigs he’s a superstar. If he is at .750 he wi be a really productive player for us.

      That was an absolute hail mary. I think they were hoping for some kind of Bradish recovery from PRP where it just buys him time and that they could use him in the playoffs. At the end of the day, they should have just had the surgery right away. I guess they assumed he would be out no matter what this season, but guys have recovered within 12 months before and had they done pretty much right away, he probably would have had a chance to pitch in the playoffs. Either way, I don't doubt Newman has heard something though. Just because she's not a good radio PBP person does not mean she's not a good reporter or knows her baseball.  I didn't hear what was said, but I doubt very much she was just making stuff up.

      Spencer Watkins coming back?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      Nothing in his statcast numbers or minor league numbers suggests he's a major league pitcher anymore. This is his stuff in his best start of the year on June 6th, when he allowed 1 ER over 7 innings. He has not been very good since. A 16% whiff rate against AAA guys and an 86% zcontact% suggests he's going to get hit hard at the major league level. Besides replacing the released Teheran, not sure what value he would have other than eating innings in Norfolk, and it sounds like he's done with the minor leagues or needs to be on the 40-man roster for some amount of days so he can reach some kind of MLB compensation package. I think he's a hard pass.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      If we are solely looking at it as an upgrade over what we have, that’s fine. I’m not saying we don’t need that player. My issue is what do you give up for marginal guys just because they happen to be what’s available.
