PS17 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I could do without the fake macho HBP war. They plunk Henderson and then he scores. So we go to extras instead of winning bottom nine. Frustrating game. Bullpen needs some serious work. Need a new catcher as Trevino approaches unplayable Pennington arm status. And another infielder who isn’t a black hole in the lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Thornburgh Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 All this hype yet almost 50% into the season we are .5 games up on the orioles we need a closer, our catchers can’t hit and are putrid defensively. DJ done. Rizzo done, yay a guy in a Walker could steal on Trevino. He’s almost as bad as Higgy was 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that Gil will come out of the starting rotation at some point because he's coming off of TJ surgery and he's never pitched more than like 90 innings in a season. He said I was nuts and maybe he will skip a start here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we supposed to sub him out of the rotation for Nestor “I only pitch 4 innings” Cortes or Clarke “I only pitch 4 innings” Schmidt because he might pitch x number innings?

Barton Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 I just don’t trust Cashman and his team to make the right player management decisions in regards to the starting rotation loads per starter nor do I think he has the guts to stick his neck out there and trade notable names like Gleyber Torres. This team can win a World Series but additions AND subtractions have to be made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Funny how you stop winning games once your starters stop throwing 7ip 1 run ball every game.

Rhg1084 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Good thing we have the 2 best players in baseball in this lineup because without them (and Volpe) this lineup is trash!

Rich Thornburgh Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Amazing how losing Stanton who was having an ok season wrecks our lineup. 2/3 of our lineup is automatic outs. and I’m not gonna stop beating up on Trevino. He’s an automatic out and a lousy defensive catcher. He’s a backup Catcher he should not be starting for anybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rice can hold down the fort at 1B that makes life so much easier. One less move that is needed. I am all in on bullpen help. Clay Holmes isn't a big time closer imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
