Frias isn't pitching that well. Our at bats have been mostly shit so far.

Reach for that one, Elvis

 

[Duane1952]

Elvis you look like crap, twice.

 

[RevSader]

Elvis can and should make that play.

Could've timed his jump a bit better.

In ST Banister seemed to think his future was at 3B and I don't recall hearing anything negative about his defense in any of the minor league reports this year. Not that they won't eventually decide that, but I think it would be very premature for them to do so now. I think the plan was to get him enough minor league experience in the OF so that he could come up eventually and play OF until Beltre is gone. I really think this is more of a reaction to the injuries to our outfielders than a reaction to Joey's defense at 3B. Like you, I don't care for the idea, but it is what it is now.

Of course that's what he said in ST, what else was he supposed to say?

I've read plenty of negative things about his defense and there's a reason for the possibility of him changing positions and its not just bc of Beltre

Once again I'm not saying he can't get better but I doubt he'll ever be much more than average

I hate two out walks

If he fulfills his offensive potential, then average is just fine with me. I don't think he'd be more than average in the OF either.

On of the many non-errors by Elvis but the play should have been made. His fielding pct is very misleading.

 

[RevSader]

Nicely done Roog...and poorly done Leo.

 

[romeo212000]

That's the Odor I remember from last year.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Why do we keep swinging at these pitches way inside! Figure it out would you.

 

[romeo212000]

Nicely done Roog...and poorly done Leo.

What's the fucking game plan with this pitcher? Swing at everything?

 

[darrylgann]

Roogie hurt

 

[RevSader]

Let's stop sliding into second base?

 

[jta4437]

I think he's more than capable of being a solid OFer, I'm less certain of his ability at 3B, he looks god awful at times, almost like its his first year playing there

 

[Duane1952]

At least quit grabbing it with their hand.

He's been better lately. I'm in wait and see mode.

If that's how we bat against that guy, I give us no chance Wednesday and Thursday. Which was little anyway.

Joyce telling Mattingly to stfu.
