If I watched Civale's efforts pitching to Delmonico & Robert I go up there sitting dead red fastball. If I see spin I take. Leury swings at two breaking balls that would have been balls. Cause I bet they ain't even paying attention in the dugout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone put it perfectly the other day. He’s a frustrating player because his positives don’t jump off the screen at you while his negatives do.

By adding an elite framer... Not impressed by Grandal’s defense, sorry. It was a major red flag when a smart organization like the Dodgers was starting Austin freakin Barnes over Grandal in the postseason. That’s all I needed to know.

soulfly Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Grandal doesn't call a good game. Sure he can frame it. Lovely. Bet you McCann is in for tonights game and it's day and night for the pitching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't going to drop 50 mil on another 30+ year old SP just to force Reylo or Cease to the pen preseason Grandal has nothing to do with it I always wanted two arms from the Tier 2 group of starting pitchers. Keuchel and Ryu could have really solidified the rotation until the young arms developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they want to make sure he doesn’t run into a wall again? In a normal 162 game season, I get it. Having him missing 3 pct of the season today for cautionary reasons just lacks urgency IMO.
