WTH Boyd???

Probably karma for his pickoff move absolutely being a balk

 

[NazClone]

Pressly is garbage.

That play should’ve been made but umpiring is becoming too much of a storyline

Home plate umpire too proud to ask his crew for assistance.

At minimum get the runner over here Shaw.

Of course nope

 

[BigJCy]

I'd Intentional Walk Castellanos here.

 

[BigJCy]

Hell of a pick by Shaw there. Nice play.

 

[Cyforce]

Someone hitting a dinger this inning

Does anyone strike out more than Swanson with men in scoring position?

Sure seems like he would be among the league leaders in doing that.

No, he is a really bad situational hitter. How many times he failed ?to move runners. Too many times

 

[BigJCy]

Another frustrating game.

Been facing some good pitchers but offense is getting to be streaky again. Score 6-8 runs one game then 1-2 the next game or two. Hopefully that starts to change here soon.

While recognizing he has his moments, it seems like he has failed to advance the runner more times than not lately. Strange at bats from a seasoned veteran.

 

[Cyforce]

****!

 

[NazClone]

Palencia with another blown save.

I am really sick of not bringing in runners from 3rd base with one or no out.

Per stathead he has 23 strikeouts with RISP (prior to today). That's tied for 6th in MLB.
