When TTAB now has a youth league pitch count the longer at bats can be decisive in a game. For 12U if a pitcher throws more than 30 pitches in one inning they are done for the day. I put those three kids at the top of the order and ran three starters out of the game in the first inning. :-)

Wow.....great post! GREAT POST! :clap:

Baseball truly is the "thinking man's sport" eh?

To be fair, one trick pony is the way baseball is headed.

There is very little offense in baseball outside of homers. The HRs are the only thing saving offense from this pitcher/strikeout revolution.

Well I am not a fan of HR or nothing, and this Ranger team has too many of those guys. There has to be a balance of guys that can take walks, or get on base, via base hits also. Well rounded offense is much better IMO

Can I say again, this is not my favorite spot to use Barnette

That's a WP, I agree......But that effort sucked from Mr Lucroy. Piss poor play.

14 of 24 inherited runners have scored against Barnette

Do you understand this Banister?

6 innings and only 3 Ks for us. That's gotta be a season low.

All kidding aside. Although I haven't been to the park in decades for the 4th, when I did go, WOW, nice show.....Bet it's better now.

So that is a better position for Tony. The start of an inning with nobody on base appears to be more his comfort zone. Pay attention Jeff

Meanwhile in the Bay Area.....

In his last 4 appearances Sam Dyson has pitched 4.2 innings with 6 K's, 1 walk, and 0 earned runs.

His national league era is 3.86

both Bay Area teams have really good pitching coaches. Makes you wonder if our bullpen troubles are management related.

Oakland is 12th out of 15 in ERA. SF is 11th out of 15, and has the highest BA-against.
