chasfh Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Kerry Carpenter was unable to get to a fly ball that a reasonably good right fielder would have gotten. He's yet another DH from the Avila era and I don't think he makes it to the next playoff team as a starter, either. Quote

Maybe they told him don't get hurt crashing into the wall again? Baddoo will be back soon so then Vierling will be in right field. Quote

But Manning had more when he was coming up didn't he? Actually he has picked up some velo as this game as gone on, he was hitting 95 consistently this inning but he's still not getting any whiffs on anything he's throwing. Quote

He was regularly touching the upper 90's during rehab, and with his extension that gets on you in a hurry, but coming off an injury, you can expect inconsistency as you build up arm strength and settle into a routine.

Maybe. But like you say, he's just very hittable, and has been for some time. He just now touched 96 and that looks good. But it's 2023, not 1943, so 96 isn't special like it was for Rapid Robert. He needs to fix it, or else. Quote
Dtrain72 Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Nevin is def a better option at 3rd over Keith, def... Quote
gehringer_2 Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 have to feel bad for Nevin - he can't be as bad as he has played, but no crying in baseball. When the lights turn on you gotta perform. Quote
Tigermojo Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 They might get back Erod, Skubal, Greene and Baddoo next week. That's huge if they are all healthy. Quote
Dtrain72 Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Sending down Maton for Nevin was some threeve dee chessckers Quote
Tigermojo Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 That error probably cost Manning a chance to start the sixth. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 In this case I'm not gonna complain about that error because the 5 extra pitches should guarantee Manning is done. Quote

If you consider Carpenter should have caught the long fly, he gave up 3 at Coors on a summer day - not terrible, something to build on. Quote

DH or not the guys is providing incredible value for a 19th rounder. 3 Quote
