May 3, 20159 yr Not a very good way to close out the series. Had a lead in the 6th inning against a team that was really struggling. Don't know why Cosart just fell apart again.
May 3, 20159 yr That Morse guy tho. 3 Ks. Yeah, benched for a week. Can't win the all though, it was a well deserved and needed rest for the guys who got it. 10 game road trip including a west coast visit I'd say good call by Red. Especially because fish have a day game Wednesday in WAS then a night game the next day in San Fran.
May 3, 20159 yr With Marsinick tearing everything up and then some, Cosart needs to pitch better than that.
May 3, 20159 yr Still not sure about resting Prado, Gordon, and Realmuto. I would be ok with one but both Prado and Gordon being gone took a big chunk of offense. Its not like there wasn't just an off day Thursday.
May 3, 20159 yr Hate to harp on the off days for Gordon and Prado but you can't help but wonder what would have been had they started. Besides that, oh well, still on a nice roll heading into DC.
May 3, 20159 yr With Marsinick tearing everything up and then some, Cosart needs to pitch better than that. Stop that. He has been stellar up until today. Stop acting like this is the norm
May 3, 20159 yr Stop that. He has been stellar up until today. Stop acting like this is the norm Fair enough. Just frustrating to suck like that at home against the worst lineup in baseball
May 3, 20159 yr I think archeplat needs to start the thread tomorrow because today was a glitch and nobody saw that lineup coming
May 3, 20159 yr I think archeplat needs to start the thread tomorrow because today was a glitch and nobody saw that lineup coming It's because he tried to get cute in the thread title going with Myamee. It work with philly but ya can't do both teams.
May 4, 20159 yr I understand off days but with Yelich out wtf is redmond thinking giving Gordon, Prado, and Realmuto the day off, especially after they all had very nice games the day before. Cant be doing that, Gordon can play all 162. No excuse to rest him and prado today after how they swung yesterday. Cant win them all but we should have won this game today.
May 4, 20159 yr It's because he tried to get cute in the thread title going with Myamee. It work with philly but ya can't do both teams. I noticed that too. If its not broke, no need to fix.
May 4, 20159 yr I understand players need rest... but the day after one hits a 3-run HR and another goes 3-for-4 (hitting .440 on the year)? I really don't know why it had to be today. And it's not like Gordon and Prado take a beating or aren't used to playing everyday.
May 4, 20159 yr No matter what lineup is playing, if you give up six runs, there's a good chance you're going to lose. Yes, ur not wrong... But with Gordon and Prado in our lineup we also have the chance to score 8 runs of our own as we've done multiple times.
May 4, 20159 yr I expected it. And if he slumps, I will have expected it too. Wtf? That's like saying you expected the Marlins to both win and lose yesterday.
May 4, 20159 yr You can't bench this many guys at once. You mess up chemistry on defense, you mess up the lineup order, the offense takes a shit on the field and it alters the flow of the game (which affects the pitcher one way or another). And for the love of baseball, give Morse multiple days off and let Bour play. We literally had a spring training squad out there yesterday. The Phillies did it because they have no aspirations or expectations and they're away. You don't bench Prado and Gordon who are tearing it up against a team you're supposed to beat just about every day in front of your home crowd. If Gordon gets cold during this road trip and we look like we've lost momentum we can all point to this game as the reason. Tonight's lineup should be 1. Gordon 2. Prado 3. Stanton 4. Ozuna 5. Bour 6. Ichiro 7. Hech 8. Realmuto 9. Phelps
May 4, 20159 yr Why Realmuto 8th? I agree with everything else but why Realmuto 8th instead of 6th where's he's done rather well?
