Turn it on to see JW thrown out stealing, and then the Pages bomb.

Can 't handle the inside pitch?

I can't remember anyone ever trying to throw inside on him. They all go for the breaking stuff far away.

Exactly, he's so far away from the plate there's no such thing as an inside pitch. If he moves where a normal distance would be they would bust him inside and he wouldn't be able to handle it. That's my theory anyway. Why else would he stand as far away as possible?

Libby held a lead...for an inning

yes he did
nice hustle by Noot helped a lot

Hah! If RF threw that ball to first instead of home he might have gotten Gorman.

That's why SaggyT's a JAG. Whiffs on a 91mph meatball down the middle. This team can't hit FBs. Probably their biggest offensive weakness.

danggg
we let Littell off the hook

And Walker calls timeout after getting 2 strikes so he can delay whiffing on the next pitch. It's like watching an instant replay, always the same result. This guy will never figure it out...unless he's traded.

I mean right there. First off, after his infuriating 2-strike timeout that he does EVERY FREAKING TIME, he's sooooo far from the plate that when someone throws him something on the outer half, he has to wait that extra thousandth of a second to make sure it's not a breaking pitch so when he does swing he's always late.

He needs to get the F away from either this organization or the very least this coaching staff because all they've done is make him worse.

That'e enough for me, time to be productive. lol

should be 1-2 ump, not 3-0

1 run out of that. Simply pathetic.

2-0 count, bases loaded, and you swing at a pitch 4 inches inside off the plate….then take a strike, then strike out. Picked off base previous inning before a home run.

Just not smart enough to hit. Saggese stupid at bat as well

That’s where I stood in the box after getting drilled with a service league fastball

3 hits and an error, only one run.

Station to station baseball is killing this team.

Please Mr. Bloom, get some speed on this team (a la Brewers)!
