Good evening, gentlemen.

Evening. Glad ya made it.

Catching wise probably, hitting wise no

Honestly, I don’t expect any hitting from our catchers at this point.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I apologize for my ignorance but do we have decent catching this year?

Can’t get much better defensively then Jeff Mathis.

 

[Kelleyman]

Ball drilled to RCF gap and DDJ with amazing speed cuts it off and dribbles it in with his capgun arm. Placeholder

Didn’t realize Volquez still had borderline mid 90s heat.

Lol, I thought the same thing. Boy, do I miss Craig Gentry.

There is hopes IKF can hit. He has a good head for situations
can make contact and go the other way. We shall see

 

[DT LUNA]

Seven Darvish walks. Who would have guessed

 

[romeo212000]

He got that one.

 

[Kelleyman]

Wow He takes a high fastball out. Donaldson would say to lay off of that

 

[Nightcrawler]

Unfortunately ( in the past)

That kind of performance from darvish was an all too familiar sight at the globe.

You had to take the good with the bad with him. The good usually outweighed the bad.

Yet despite no FB control tonight, he is better than any SP we have

 

[DT LUNA]

DDJ not helping his cause

 

[Kelleyman]

The beef many had with Darvish which now I see some merit is that he does not pitch enough to contact

 

[PhantomWarrior]

View attachment 201397 cheers everyone

That’s good for a half inning.

Some of that is him, some of it is culture. Long at bats are celebrated in Japan.

 

[PhantomWarrior]

Or Ian Desmond. What a gun.

 

[Kelleyman]

Or Ian Desmond. What a gun.

Or Martin or Hamilton (take your pic) even Borbon
Worst arm I can remember in CF but one of the fastest. Gentry could fly

Just think his arm is barely passable for LF. He has to be better than last year and sure he has worked hard but talent may just not be enough

 

[PhantomWarrior]

No help from Choo tonight.
