COME ON SUZUKI!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

Great AB, Nick.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I think AAs plan going forward is Camargo at SS and Riley at 3rd. He was gonna bench Swanson if we ended up with Beltre, IMO he is getting rid of Ender and Dansby.

That makes sense.

But if we move Ender, that Duvall guy better not be in the plans as an everyday starter.

 

[Mistaken4193]

If we dont score here its game over.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Would be real nice to have Camargo up right now....

 

[Chewbaccer]

Catchers need to bat 7th from now on.

Snits donea really shitty job of managing the lineup in both games today.

[Mistaken4193]

THATS WHY YOU BAT JOHAN 5TH YOU IDIOT!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

Just fucking Awful....but Camargos ground ball scores a run IF HE IS BATTING 5TH!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

That's ball game.

Would have been a tie game if Camargo was in the 5 hole.

Oh yeah, Acuna on the bench in game 1, Albies in game 2, Suzuki back in the 5 hole in game 2 despite Camargo having success there.

The two youngest players on the team each get a game off, but Dansby who has been struggling big time starts both games.

I would be pretty cool with this. I like Dansby, but he simply has to be a better batter if he's going to be an everyday player. .240 isn't going to get it done.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Our only chance is to hold it at 1-0 and work Scherzers count and beat their Bullpen.

 

[Chewbaccer]

If there's any silver lining to pissing away that scoring chance, Scherzer probably ain't going the distance tonight.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Man, this ump needs to quicken his strike signal.

He'll go on real nice runs, but when he's cold, he's ice cold, and the slumps last a month at a time. He's got a nice glove, but he's gotta be better with the bat.

less than 2 big league seasons, so there's still time

we kinda screwed up his development with the way we promoted him (you could have made a real argument that he wasn't ready to be promoted to AAA when we promoted him to the bigs)

We rushed him up here and then promoted him as the face of the franchise. That definitely didn't do him any favors.

He was rolling to start this year until he started having wrist problems, and he really hasn't been the same since. I wonder if something is still lingering. Freddie bounced back pretty nice last year after his broken wrist, but the first time he had wrist problems, he wasn't the same player to the extent that I was ready to give up on him(glad I was wrong)

 

[Chewbaccer]

Newk has been good again tonight minus the Soto homer.
