gehringer_2 Posted April 12 Posted April 12 He's not doing Jobe any favors today. Watch to see if Nido gets pitches called from the bench for Jobe. Malloy has been dropped in the order - not surprising. Quote

Expand FIFY seriously - if they aren't going to send him down, they have to put him out there to play through it, you just wish it weren't with an inexperienced guy like Jobe where a screw-up might be more likely to rattle him. 1 Quote

Expand Day game after night game, so should they have gone Dingler, Nido, Dingler or Nido, Dingler, Dingler? Nido might actually be the right call if it’s looked at from a catching experience standpoint to pair with Jobe. Quote

Evil Roy Slade Posted April 12 Posted April 12 (edited) I like the twins Uni’s, but I thought those stirrups on the pitcher didn’t conform to the uniform regulations Edited April 12 by Evil Roy Slade Quote

He could be sitting 3-0 instead, and took a walk on that fourth pitch below the zone, and he might not have struck out on the breaker in the dirt. He’s off at the moment, and the shake of his head going back to the dugout tells the rest of us that he knows it. Quote
chasfh Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Pretty good swing by Colt on that third out, though. Good sign. Quote
