Just remember, when Beckham returns, this team is going to go on a run!

 

 

Melton and Rongey were talking about the Peavy topic during the rain delay.

 

Beltin' Bill seemed pretty convinced there was going to be no way to unload Peavy before the deadline now.

 

 

This season is truly snake-bitten, with Floyd and Peavy's injuries.

 

 

Almost another homer there...close.

Horrible pitch there. Now Beckham's mental error looms large. Man, what a season it's been so far. We can't catch a break.

 

 

You make your own breaks in baseball...or give them to the other team, and they take advantage, ala the Minnesota Twins from 2002-2010.

Well, Melton is up there with Rosenthal and Olney when it comes to judging the trade market.

Once again, it's not physical/hustle/effort/exertion errors.

 

It's just horrible mental preparation, daydreaming and complete lack of focus across almost the entire roster this season...carrying over from the 4-11 finish to 2012.

 

Maybe the players simply know how little talent there is pushing them from behind in the minors, so they've become complacent, knowing Ventura has no choice but to keep playing them.

They all seem to have the oh well attitude and no matter what they do there are no consequences.

True enough.

 

I still believe if he can get 2-3 starts in the last two weeks of July, there's a shot at a good return.

 

The problem is that we start playing a lot better competition next month...which, of course works to our advantage if he looks like an ace again against better teams.

 

You can make the case that he was pitching nearly as well the first 6 weeks of the season as 2012...and that 80% of his struggles statistically can be correlated with the rib cage issue.

I don't understand how Axelrod gets by with cunning and guile and trickery on normal days, but on the day you can't see the ball he gets lit up

 

I don't understand how he ever gets hitters out. It's a testament to him that he finds a way to be successful.
