I like Coulombe.  Everything moves.

Baker has been used a ton lately himself.

Seems to be boom or bust. Either lights out or can't hit the strike zone.

Care to explain why this is trolling? When are all these hurt players coming back? That was an honest question.

Givens any day now.  The way Tate is throwing you don't want him.

This is what happens when your starter only gives you five innings and you pull your length guys (Baumann and Voth) quickly. Hyde really needs to stop trying use all his releivers in games and needs to start allowing guys take 2 or 3 inning stints to save the pen. if Baumann and Voth are not those guys, get someone up who are.

Trout up...ugh..

It annoyed me too.

[Moose Milligan]

Rengifo is annoying.

[SteveA]

Rengifo has 5 hits off us this series.   He's hitting .202 coming into the game.

[TopGunnar]

Frazier has goT to be one of the slowest infielders I have ever seen.

I don't understand Hyde, some games he is brilliant and any other given game he seems lost.

You have a point, but Hyde has basically been pushing his relievers and encouraging max effort outings every time out there. We lead the MLB in bullpen ERA going into today's game. Everything is max effort short inning bursts. Makes you do wonder about the sustainability of Hyde's bullpen for 162.

[SteveA]

Here we go:

Henderson/Frazier/Hays/Rutschman/Santander/Mountcastle

(bench:  Vavra/O'Hearn/Mullins)

I can't accept that name.  It's wrong.

[Ripken]

Overmatched.

He just uses too many each game. Look at how many games each reliever has already. he needs to allow guys like Baumann and Voth to eat 2 or 3 innings at a time instead of yanking them the second they get into any trouble. He wants to play matchups so bad, but he always has a short pen because he uses five pitchers to get through 4 innings.

Henderson isnt clutch right now...
