RZZZA Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 We've been shut out a lot this year. I'm sure all those times we were facing good pitchers too, but at some point we have to be able to hit good pitchers right? We can't keep getting punked...

Heads22 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 This is why I don't understand why people ridicule Wise. He contributed to our team in the past and people still go after him. He has proven that he can still contribute for teams now. He's putting much better swings on the ball than anyone on our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two out of four in New York will be a fine series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 01:03 PM) It's a good, deceptive pitch. That's the only way to explain it  Honestly, I don't think our hitters (fielders too) are seeing the ball at all in the daylight today. Missing a lot of hittable pitches, IMO. Hopefully, they are ready for it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Goodness he sucks. Not a good combination when you swing and miss a lot, and you have a false sense of what the strike zone is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Cervelli just caught the pitch with his mitt facing up, and the ump called it a strike. lol. Even he was surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I expected a split, I just thought the two wins would be sandwiched in the middle, not at the start. Â A split in the Bronx is really a winning series for a team in the Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good combination when you swing and miss a lot, and you have a false sense of what the strike zone is. Â The guy never plays. Maybe he'd be more value in the minors continue to develop. You don't need a very good backup when the guy only plays once a week. We got anybody in the minors who can catch a game a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I don't know and doubt Flowers would be a plus offensive player if he played every day, but these swing and miss guys seem to have an even bigger problem when they don't play much.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 13 strikeouts through 8 innings. Awesome effort, boys. Â Let's just go ahead and let them strike out the side in the 9th, just to make it a cool 16 Ks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 For Peavy to win any game he was hung with a loss on this year, he would have had to have thrown a shutout. Today appears no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Which makes him a bad choice as a back-up catcher. You and I have been saying for a while now that AJP will be sorely missed if some people get their wish and have Flowers be the starting catcher next year.
