Nice that we rallied but we can't really touch their pitching. I'm not going to apologize for finally having some timely hitting and solid performances out of the pen. When we've been giving games away all year. Being better late in a game doesn't mean you were outplayed. 7th/8th/9th are rather important innings and we were better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bail him out. one of the 5 dumbest teams in baseball without a doubt, top to bottom just full of dullards playing 1990s era baseball in a league of teams using AI algorithms and advanced statistics 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pathetic he & Leury were penciled in to play such pivotal roles on a supposed contender. I like Josh Harrison. I didn't like it when they acquired him because I thought he was washed up. He is certainly way past his prime but I still like him. He's an easy guy to root for. That said, they definitely need to upgrade at 2B next year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) I maintain that even though Moncada isn't a special hitter since his bout with Covid, he's still a solid player having a terrible season. If he's version 2021 for the next two years it's fine. Edited August 18, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was pretty evident in Spring Training that there was something physically wrong with him this year. It's just a lost season for him. Hopefully he's fully healthy to start next season and he can at least be the player he was in 2021. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandal takes a four pitch walk loading the bases, and Big Energy comes up next and swings at the first pitch and hit into a double play. I would have given Harrison the take sign on the first pitch. But we never give a take sign. Must be a TLR unwritten rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you gotta wonder how that's not just a rule on this team with how poorly they hit with the bases loaded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
