was martinez right there...?

ive seen hill's sidearm pitch before but i didnt know it was a curve he throws.

I'm pretty sure they are two different pitches. He's got that really large curveball and then he has a little slider flick pitch he throws sidearm against lefties. I used to do the same thing in little league (I'm a lefty)... without the curveball of course ;)

Still not necessarily a bad idea. He is a GG defender, plays in a park that kills his numbers, should come considerably cheaper than everyone thought due to a rough year plus the overall free agent market declining, plus he is only 30.

For a couple years at 7 or 8 million I could get behind signing Beltre.

Exactly, I'm not campaigning that he's the next Evan Longoria but at the right price he's perfect for this team.

Honestly I'm just curious, but why do you love the ellipsis so much?

im assuming its a habit of him.

I used to do it all the time on AIM and w/ message boards. Its just a way to segment thoughts usually

Right. Next year he'd bat 8th and with he and Izturis on the left side our defense there would be fantastic.

I think he could definitely make sense for us.

And Hill comes right back for the K. Nice rebound by Hill.

Hill's only throwing two pitches. He's got to have more than that to be a starter...

Ah I see he's got a two seamer and a four seamer. Still, it'd be nice if he had another breaking pitch.

He's thrown a few changeups so far tonight.

First time ive seen Hill pitch and im not impressed. He needs more than a curve ball.

After the stuff we've had to watch over the past decade, I'm will to be patient with a guy who's been hurt for a year, left handed, and has had success before.

      The Machado trade wasn't the mark of poor judgment.  We got a decent return for when we traded him (2018, with less than a year of control left).  The underlying issue was failure to recognize the timing of that team's window shutting.  2017 started off well enough, but May was punctuated by a 5-14 stretch in the last 19 games of the month (including a 7 game losing streak) and a losing June (that had a 6 game losing streak).  They then limped into the AS Break on a 3-6 July start (including another 5 game losing streak).  Went from a season best 22-10 on May 10, to 42-46 at the break. The pitching clearly couldn't keep up, and denial is a powerful thing.  We didn't do any selling or start a minor rebuild.  Whether that was a Duquette decision or an Angelos decision... who can say? I always look back at that period as having a silver lining though.  We had to crash and burn... to be built back to strength with our modern iteration of our team.  I'm not so sure that the team would have decided to take the same path if they had found additional ways of treading water for several seasons longer than they actually did... so I'm loathe to criticize the failures in the last seasons of the Duquette era.  Without them, we very well might not be where we are today.

      Even our bad lineups have a brutal top half of the order for opposing pitchers.

      Mullins had a good AB left on left last night that hopefully is a good sign of a turnaround. 10 pitches and fought off several fastballs that he has been swinging through. Ultimately just a groundout but I thought it was encouraging.    Liked the bunt single too.

      Well...the "A" team hasn't been scoring runs when he pitches anyway.  Might as well shake it up a bit.

      I was thinking he'll get until the AS break to show some signs of life, but it could happen by Father's Day. I'm not implying that they'll release him but that his role could decrease significantly.
