This offense is horrible i just wonder how long this will last for

Truly, I think this issue is deeper than just the players on the field. Something that probably can't be fixed within a single season. If/when someone in this organization (i.e. Jerry) decides something needs to change, I think it ends up being a large turnover.

I dont' think leadoff hitters are allowed to drive in runs.

 

I just get so frustrated that we let our worse hitter continue to get the most plate appearances. Sadly, I have little faith in Ozzie to ever bench or move his slappy crush from the leadoff spot.

It is probably pretty low. IIRC pitch counts have risen in modern times by a decent amount.

Yeah, if this is recorded somewhere, it probably is from pre-1920s or something.

Yeah me neither. Ozzie is one of the most stubborn managers I've seen. It's his way, and his way only.

I'm guessing there aren't really records from that era, seeing as most of the basic stats we have from then were actually compiled by people re-reading box scores.

Westbrook and Talbot are about to blow my mind. This is just absolute mastery at pitching. Never before have I ever seen such pure dominance in two games in a row.

Crap, did I really just post this? I think I'm turning into the Incredible Hawk or something..

Yeah CQ and PK shouldnt be swinging at mediocre fastballs down the middle!

According to gameday, PK's first pitch was a sinker. Probably wrong though, or Paulie would've had to have been way under it. Also said Beckham saw 2 straight curves.

If it was a sinker, it was a sinker right down the middle above the knees.

 

Regardless it was going to be a strike and he may not have seen a better pitch that at bat.

 

Its one thing if they are swinging at bad pitches out of the zone, but come on you gotta swing the bat at good pitches. CQ and PK are supposed to drive the ball and some times that means swinging at early pitches that are good to hit.

But you CAN'T let a pitcher like Westbrook have a 5 pitch inning, regardless off whether or not it was a good pitch to hit. That too is something these guys HAVE to be considering. I don't care what you say, the 5 pitch inning should never happen.
