  1. No doubt. Are there any players Coolbaugh can point to as accomplishments so far?
  2. LOL - McCosky already has a story up at Detnews.com that tells us ...exactly nothing. LOLOL - Not to be outdone, Evan Petzold also with a story up at the Freep. That ....you guessed it....tells us exactly nothing. The "sports *reporter*" species has become extinct without ever even getting on the endangered species list.
  3. Lee said Ramirez took one off his shin yesterday and there he is. Meanwhile, Tork is starting to hit a high percentage of balls hard. One ray of sunshine.
  4. If we get Manning - If Manning is sharp - If Faedo surprises us all, then you have reached.....treading water status. Just very hard to be very optimistic. You need a guy like Peralta to come up big but there's no sign they have even decided to start him yet.
  5. Hardly matters, one good pitcher in a rotation is better than none, but the rotation is in such a hole right now that even with Skubal the % of good starts they have had so far is not sustainable. Even with Tarik, their second best pitcher is only 30 IP away from his TJ. It's a damn big ask to expect him to be consistent at all.
  6. But that's the joke, given the pitching they've lost, whatever else they did or didn't do becomes a purely academic argument, no way it's going to matter when you're starting Brieske, Faedo,TBD1 and TBD2 for the next month. Tiger's runs against, which had been great, is about to start moving to the back of the pack.
  7. He wouldn't have been my choice anyway. You owed it to Tarik to have gotten up one of your better guys, not an edge guy. Then again, they just lost Vest......
  8. Sorry guys, I've may have to take some relief from this and go get my fingernails pulled out.
  9. Have to beat the the other team, have to beat the evil injury gods, have to beat incompetent replay officials.
  10. At least Skubal won't lose this one.
  11. We can hope. Doesn't seem likely the damage to the tibia would be worse than a bruise but if it was high enough to get a knee ligament that might be worse.
  12. So down and in is supposed to be a left hand hitter's happy zone, esp from a RHP, but it's consistent death for W. Castro. Another guy like Niko that probably never should have become a switch hitter.
  13. Grossman and Tork with atem balls to each side respectively this time thru
  14. Not a good sign that he took himself.
  15. So BP day maybe with Elvin Rodriguez Sunday and Brieske gets moved back,
  16. Baez thinking too much now, worst thing for a hitter.
  17. Henning said Kreidler was taking BP from Franklin Perez in FLA. There may be an opening for him --- soon
  18. IDK if hitting is contagious. - could be. If I had to guess it would be that the effect is more in on the pitching side. It's more strain to pitch with men constantly on base, from the stretch, etc., so once some guys start getting on base maybe it gets a little easier for the rest.
