    Wendelstedt *really* squeezing Manning. Costs another run

    That was tip your hat AB. Giolito got him on a perfect pitch.

    Last thing for Matt is be able to work in/out while staying in the zone. Too many pitches in the middle third even if he is managing to move them up and down.

    Good to see Manning's FB clocking in at >95 even if he's not K'ing enough guys to keep down a line-up like this. One step at a time.

    that throw probably should have been cut off. And the idiot scorer gives Reyes an error. Fire them all. But no damage.

    Manning getting blooped to death

    opps. One too many FBs. I like that he meant to throw it off the plate 0-2 but still left it too close.

    K on a fastball. Love to see that from any pitcher.

    Wemdelstedts zone is a little offset from where the box is tonight. He gave Carpenter that one but called a ball wide to the on the other side a strike on a Tiger batter earlier.

    RILEY!!!

    Manning got out of that in pretty good shape all things considered, but Chicago has scored so that's probably ball game.

    We'll see if McCarthy beats out McNamara. I think McNamara is steady, but he's not a championship caliber QB. McCarthy might be, if he is good enough to beat out McNamara cleanly. If not then he isn't and to me that puts a ceiling on the O.

    They are not only a terrible team, they are snake bit to boot.

    The Cabrera discussion doesn't exist in a vacuum. In theory there is a team trying to win games - or not. Unless they hire another totally incompetent GM, I think we can be pretty sure that he will be able to come up with a DH who will be far more productive than Cabrera (assuming there is no miracle forthcoming for the knee). At that point you have only one question - are you trying to win games or not? The only way a one-legged Cabrera should be in the line-up next season is if a new GM comes in committed to another tank job.

    I find it really hard to have any confidence in Harbaugh and was sad to see him extended. I just think he's a goof. And he seems to have no ideas of his own on defense. He sort of lucked into a great one last season with MacDonald and two great DE's peaking the same season. If Minter turns out to be average or worse the defensive regression will be painful to watch.

    TBH, I have watched a lot less of them live in past couple of months. A fan can only give so much.....

    just looking at Norris' statcast data from last night. Even with all his problems he still has a lot of movement on his pitches and can challenge a hitter with a lot of vertical uncertainty. Easy to see why people haven't wanted to give up on him. Just throw the ball in the zone Daniel!

    IDK. I don't watch guys hit just to watch them stand at the plate and then walk back. When the expectation is that nothing is likely to happen, there is nothing to hold my interest. So I don't find it very interesting to watch a guy with 515 OPS (since July 1) hit regardless of what his career history was. If he were to go on another run like in May/June that would change my mind. But it seems to be the case that whatever reserve of health the knee had coming into the season has been depleted with little hope of the situation changing again during the season.

    would be be a hitting coach for free? He's already got the $40 M.

    but the SCIF probably had hard wired security and Trump almost certainly didn't want whatever use he was going to make of the material known, since he had no possible legitimate use for taking it in the 1st place.
  22. gehringer_2
    He was itching to hit better.
  23. gehringer_2
    fair point, but it's preseason and he's not fighting for his job so could be they want him working on what he's least accomplished doing?
  24. gehringer_2
    He succeeded didn't he? 🙄

    You can never know for sure whether you are suffering a statistical anomaly (i.e. bad luck) or creating the problem yourself. You may decide to change something in the system and then things get better, but if your luck was bad they probably would have gotten better anyway. That said, at some point the odds of luck being as bad as it has been start to get pretty long and you better be examining your program. Are they teaching grips that create too much stress? Wrong throwing schedule, wrong conditioning program. They better have it all on the table.
