Would have been better than ReyLo because Kelly has better breaking pitches than ReyLo who is more susceptible to the homer with the straight fast ball. IMO.

There was no logic to this hire except he's Cuban-American and the front office/probably Reinsdorf thought he would make the Cuban players play better. This is a conspiracy theory but I can't think of any other reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankchifan Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 If we lose this game, most of the blame should be on TA for failing to move the runner to third with no outs. IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing to remember I guess is that there are two teams competing and both want to win. Lopez just got beat on that one is all.

One of the reasons why we have four solo homers tonight as we don’t have many runners on base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
