kdog Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 Skenes pitched yesterday, he is starting for the NL in the all star game. AL starter has yet to be determined. Quote

kdog Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 Willi is found money...Carson Kelly is comparable but not on that production level. Quote

kdog Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 Baddoo demoted for Vilade. That's got to be it for him: Quote

Pitch 1-2 innings and make adjustments for the next stint. And hopefully improve. I'm not saying he'll pitch that often... Just sayin'... Quote

Can he field or is he another Malloy? They used him all over the field. Everywhere except SS and catcher I believe... I want to see if he's just a AAAA guy though, that'll never "get it" in MLB (figure out this level of pitching)... Or if he can figure this **** out and approach what he was doing in AAA. He'd be useful if he could do that... Quote
Sports_Freak Posted July 12, 2024 Posted July 12, 2024 Yeah, Hinch. DH your best outfielder and put the weakest OF you can in the lineup. LF and RF should be an adventure tonight. Skubal should refuse to pitch...lol Quote

And just to make it worse, our two RHH catchers both have reverse platoon splits. Edited July 12, 2024 by gehringer_2 Quote

On a team with Riley Greene? maybe the best of he Malloy and Vilade, but Canha is probably DHing because he is borderline hurting. Vilade started out life as a SS and has been working his way down the defensive value scale ever since, to pretty much rock bottom at LF. An ex-SS should at least have an above average arm for a LF.

It’s one game. Skubal is going to strike out most of those donkeys anyway. Edited July 12, 2024 by casimir 2 1 Quote
