So if we can't hit Bedard tonight will the same morons be saying its because the hitters are lazy just like last night and not playing hard?

Uh last time I checked we got Bedard for 2 runs in the first inning. We got 1 hit against Washburn. Big difference.

There isn't a single trainer, pitching coach or manager on this site, but a lot of guys sure slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Love the ridiculous melt downs!:rolleyes:

Kranitz came out and the first thing he said was, "Are you alright?"

So there's pretty obviously something strange going on with his delivery.

Palmer thinks he does, and he has said at least 5 times that there's something wrong with Guthrie.

I think it's pretty obvious that he's not right.

First off, Palmer never said Guthrie was hurt or in danger of hurting himself. Nor did he sound all excited or upset about it. If Palmer thought they were risking Guthrie's health, he'd be saying it out loud. Say what you want about Palmer, but he's not exactly shy and afraid to say what he thinks. So, quit putting words in his mouth.

Second off, Palmer said there is something not right, but then said sometimes you just don't have it. He also said that Guts has enough to get out of it by actually pitching even when he's not right. He called this a learning experience.

Third off, Guthrie got out of it just fine. It was a 13p inning. So, howsabout if everybody quits yelling and wetting your pants. Both Palmer and the P-coach are cool as a cucumber. Take lessons from them.

So, what'd Trem get thrown out for? Was is the Reimold thing (which I missed)?
Yeah, he accepted, but complained, about the call initially, then came out during the commercial break. He was screaming "so you're telling me my guy didn't run hard" at the ump when he got tossed.

Man, I really want us to sign Bedard this offseason. I don't care if it costs a young kid a spot. He's filthy when he's healthy. Keep Berken, Koji, or Hernandez in the bullpen, then when he missed 6 starts they can make those starts. He's simply too dominant to not consider signing.

Especially if we trade Guthrie.

Glad to see our hitters in the usual form. Haven't seen them look this bad since...last night. One solid hit by Scott and a ton of K's. I've never applauded a Wigginton fly out until tonight. :)

How soon you forget...

Bedard used to do this for us against opposing teams and we'd praise Bedard.

Good pitching beats good hitting (ive now said this twice today...hopefully im right :laughlol:)

Can I not express concern for Guthrie's health given the status of our pitching staff without "wetting my pants?"

It's not about him getting hit, it's about his health of his arm.

      Now overall I notice 29 K's in 17 innings. That ratio of 1.7 is top of the line for a starter!

      Urias looks pretty cooked too though, and he's not providing the kind of defensive flexibility that Mateo is, and he doesn't have very good splits for platooning.  At least for 2023 and 2024 Mateo has had good platoon splits.

      SSS but Holliday was playing incredible defense after like the first game or two when he seemed to have some jitters.  He had +3 OAA in a very short span.  Mateo has looked a little awkward at 2nd to be honest, and he's not the best at making the double play turn.

      Hoping for a speedy recovery. That all happened fast. Not my initial impression reading the write up.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Hallas · Posted

      McCann looks cooked but he's in his last year and our options at backup C aren't great unless we're willing to trade for one.  But I'm not giving up a lot for a backup C.   I'd like to find a replacement for Urias.  He didn't look great last year and he's being thrust into a role that he's not really cut out for right now.  I don't think he's getting the 2022 magic back.  Maybe Westburg can go to 3rd full time and one of our 5 AAA 2nd basemen can work in with Mateo at 2nd.

      I quoted myself, because I wanted to share something with you all.  I have memory issues.  Nothing full blown or anything, but I don't recall things nearly as well as I once did.  I mention this because it occurred to me that I posted a very similar thing about McCann last year, and he performed notably better in the 2nd half.  At least I believe so.   It's not that I feel I'm exactly wrong about McCann, but rather that he showed himself to be better just last season and could do so again.  I hope so. Memory issues are nothing to be ashamed of, though I'd be pretending if it didn't bother me.  I've been dealing with this for maybe five years or so, though it gets worse every year.  At 59, that's younger than most that have such issues.   I'm sure in a forum as populated as this one, there could be others going through what I am.  It is what it is... it's life, and I hope you're all doing your best with it.

      Estrada and Tejada both continued their recent surges today.  Estrada was 2 for 4 with a double, while Tejada was 3 for 3  with a homer.  Tejada has his OPS up to .737, not bad for a league where .654 is average.  Estrada is at .628 and climbing.
