Does he really think that the team can rally to win the day from this far behind? The bullpen is severely taxed.

Makes it more interesting for the fans. Keeps the games going longer. Sells more concessions. Edited June 25, 2016 by captain54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was In this ballpark the yellow line is just there to provide a color contrast so that umps can see if a ball flies over the fence or not. The ball must actually clear the fence in this ballpark. Other places with the "Big vertical walls" use the yellow line differently and will have above it be out of the park.

mataipaepae Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I like the look of beck. He needs to keep refining his command. But he has very good tools to be a Relief pitcher. Then once he has establishes himself he will get those close calls that are going the other way right now for him. But he has a very good fastball and good secondary pitches. I like him and Ynoa as future guys here. Add in Purdi when he gets here and that is 3 young looking kids that could be very good in the pen.
