Matt Moore’s line against the blue jays today.

7 innings

2 hits

0 runs

6 K’s

Moore could barely make it once through the opposing teams lineup while he was here under Brocails tutelage.

I don’t mind it actually.

I thought Brocail was arrogant with his “ the approach is great, we just aren’t getting the results” mantra. It was his way of saying, I’m doing my job just fine, but the pitchers aren’t executing.

Iapoce was terrible at coaching situational hitting. We seemed to have the worst “situational hitting” in the league. We never could get a guy home from 3rd base with less than 2 outs. It seemed like our hitters weren’t adjusting there approach at all to the situation. In that scenario, a fly ball to the outfield or a ground ball to the right side of the infield is great and we hardly ever got them.

We just had wash who was a “players” manager. I thought Banny brought pretty much the same skill set and his in game moves were lackluster at best.

it’s disappointing when the A’s have bob Melvin and the Astros have AJ hinch. We were pretty much getting out coached in over half of our divisional games on a regular basis.

You don't mind Evan not knowing it or him not reporting it?

Why wouldn't you want to know what is going on?

I don’t mind him crapping on Banny.

I thought Banny and his cronies sucked.

That wasn't the point though. The point is why did he take so long.

You really have to ask? Evan is a company man who toes the company line. He’s not going to bite the hand that feeds him. He’s a coward

Evans not going attack the people who pay for his daily trips to the all you can eat buffet.

 

[Kelleyman]

Fastball in the zone comes back to bite

one of the things I miss about not living in arlington

 

[DT LUNA]

Lynn looked ok minus the fat ball.

 

[DT LUNA]

AC has been a good pick up so far

 

[Kelleyman]

Announcers get it wrong security gaffe put the guy on second

Not really sure what he was thinking. Yeah run out into the field of play where the ball can ricochet to you.

AC has been playing like AB so far.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Cubs have beat up our starting pitching for sure.

Doesn’t get any easier with the Astros coming to town on Monday.

 

[Kelleyman]

In case there is interest re last game

 

[Kelleyman]

Not really sure what he was thinking. Yeah run out into the field of play where the ball can ricochet to you.

He was not paying attention and looked a bit too comfortable

 

[DT LUNA]

DDJGS wow!!

 

[Kelleyman]

What a career resurrecting Grand Slam for DDJ. Go Rangers

 

[DT LUNA]

We may be playing from behind a lot this year. Lynn just couldn't hold them.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I hope the cubs have a very good lineup because their scoring average for the series is going to be around 10 or 11 runs per game.

Yikes.
