gehringer_2 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Riley not seeing anything well. Was a mile from the 1st pitch breaking ball, froze on the strike out breaking ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I don't know about this. Have they used Holton in a save situation this year? Since he doesn't have a save, the only answer to that would be No unless they did and he failed. I have a bad feeling here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Glad that worked out! AJ’s Stanford guy bullpen moves were due to work out to a positive outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Parker were out there if he takes that, and having the better throwing angle holds the runner. Parker's arm isn't great but it's better than Rileys..... But it didn't matter in the end.

gehringer_2 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Perez hitting the wall a little - down to 220 over his last 7 games. Next week or two critical for him to adjust. Canha picking it up a little. Urshella and Jake contributed. Kelly has been OK the last few games. Still need Green and Torkelson the get their acts together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 1 minute ago, Sports_Freak said: Parker only played CF, didn't he? Right, but he might well have have been there with the advantage of already moving toward 3b. Riley almost has to overrun that ball and then come back or maybe circle it alittle to be in decent position to throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Foley has earned that right based on how he’s pitched this year: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker has much greater range/ speed than Perez and probably (just guessing) would have called off Riley. I don't think Perez was in a spot to call him off. Positioning himself (Parker) for the better throw to 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
