Jim Cowan Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 They just let Greinke have an 8 pitch inning Quote
romad1 Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 quick inning for our best hitters...BOO! Do better. Quote
RatkoVarda Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Harris has a chance to impress all of us with the return when he trades ERod and Lorenzen. Quote
Tigeraholic1 Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Good 10 pitch battle by Badoo to earn a walk. Quote

Tigeraholic1 Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Followed by a 3 pitch at bat by Ibanez to end the inning..... Quote
gehringer_2 Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 So Grienke calls his own game with Pitchcom. I think we are slowly going to see that be the future. If you think about it, the reason the signal system had to be catcher-> pitcher originally was only because that was the only way to do it without the batter seeing the signal. With that constraint removed, there is isn't any reason for pitchers not to call their own games and it's bound to evolve back that way. Right now catcher->pitcher is deep tradition, but is now a tradition without any underlying support. Quote
Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Zach Mack triple and Tork SF for another run. 3-0 Quote

[a human who bats, not a chunk of ash wood in cylindrical form] Expand This pitching staff is so brittle, I'd just as soon they made Lorenzen an offer to stay, but in his comments in the Freep the other day there was no indication at all they were talking.

Tenacious D Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Think scouts discount ERod and Lorenzen’s strong performance against the Royals when evaluating them for a potential trade? Of course they have a track record, but I suspect scouts are paying closer attention right now. Quote
romad1 Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 wish we'd have gotten an extra run there in the 7th. Quote
Dave Christian Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Tork grounded out to third with runners on first and second for the third out. Quote

I'd suggest we refer to these fellows as World Series Champion Rodriguez and All Star Lorenzen in an attempt to drive up the prices. 2 1 Quote

mtutiger Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 KC hitters ABs suggest that they don't want to be at the ballpark today.... Quote

chasfh Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Dan Dickerson keeps talking about things like putting together a little win streak to “change the narrative” at the trade deadline. He cannot possibly be talking about trading prospects for middling big leaguers just to likely still fall short of winning the division, can he? 1 Quote

Expand you'd have to believe they can play 600 the rest of the way. Just hard to see. If you could add hitters without losing Lorenzen and ERod - maybe, but how could you do that without giving away the future? Can't do it. 1 Quote
