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

Malloy has been dropped in the order - not surprising. With a RH pitcher on the mound. With this defense behind him, Jobe will just have to strike everyone out...lol Quote

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

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

IdahoBert Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Do I need to worry about Riley Greene striking out 20 times in 13 games? 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

Motor City Sonics Posted April 12 Posted April 12 Love it. Got a dot in the first inning. Thanks, Carlos Quote
chasfh Posted April 12 Posted April 12 1 minute ago, chasfh said: Why, no. Those were not good swing decisions by Riley on either that 1-0 or 1-1 pitch. 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
