you are supposed to hit the balls guys.

 

Did anyone tell them that before the game??

No one talks about Leary as bench coach. Lol

Hate to say it, but I'm not seeing how this team got better without Reyes, Infantes, etc. I don't even know who half the guys in our lineup are...but they sure do look AAA material

Hech may be as bad as some predicted.

Stras is gonna complete this game in under 90 pitches

Who predicted hech was going to hit?

if solano doesn't produce, derek dietrich waiting in the wings.

Well, at least ricky has looked pretty good. The first HR to Harper was a bad pitch, the 2nd was a good pitch but a better swing.

I guess they are counting on growth from some of the guys starting today and the future of Fernandez & Yelich. I guess we have to give it 2 more years before anyone can say it was good or bad trade.

@Erick: that they should start Ruggiano?

 

 

Yeah.

 

Initially, you said Coghlan wasn't blocking anybody. He's blocking Ruggiano from more playing time.I meant anyone like a top young prospect. I'm not saying Ruggiano isn't important, but it's not like we're foregoing an opportunity to play a younger player who could be part of the future.

 

I wasn't trying to call you out with the Wade Davis example. I was just using it as an example. There are plenty of players who were bad players and then played well when given the chance. Coghlan could turn it around as well. The odds of that happening are low, but it will take more than two ABs to find out.

Please Nolasco drill him on his head. Fastball 93+.

Who predicted hech was going to hit?

 

Didn't Loria say something about his being an All Star, so they expect him to get better.

The fans love Harper.

That was exiting

Finally that guy gets an out

Holy shit it's already going to be the 7th.

This game is really flying

I don't see why Ruggiano can't be a part of the future.

 

He had a high .BABIP last year, but he's always had high .BABIP's. He's also a solid defender. With Ruggiano, it's worth experimenting. He's just a better player with more tools. He has more value. Coghlan hasn't been good for 3 years. It's not as if he had one bad year and it was an aberration. He's now been bad for a long time.

#5. Sit down and cry.

Clearly adeiny will hit a game winning grand slam. I get VIP status if that happens, Admin!

Dish out again......Baseball starts and so do the afternoon T-Storms, right on schedule

Nolasco...you scary!

He's 31 with back issues. I don't see him as apart of the future. I would start him over Coghlan but he isn't for some reason. So I'm willing to see what he does with his final chance.

Deal

Ricky has been making some good pitches.
