August 2, 20179 yr It's hard to score runs when your DH and 1B don't hit HRs.Or your catcher. Or your LF. Or your RF.
August 2, 20179 yr Really solid offensive showing tonight. 3 hits and gifted two errors and still couldn't score.
August 2, 20179 yr A lot of discussion today about the importance of developing guys over the course of the rest of the year. Pinch hitting for Berrios was a wasted opportunity to help Berrios develop. He had a shot at a complete game. Pinch hitting is a move one makes when one is trying to save one's job IMO.

That's a pretty absurd statement when you're still trying to win games.

He had a shot at a complete game.Pinch hitting is trying to save is a move one makes when one is trying to save one's job IMO.You're severely over-analyzing it. You still manage within each game to win. You don't let the pitcher hit when you're behind with 6 outs left.

Pitchers shouldn't be hitting in 2017, period. and everyone is trying to save their job, not just Paul. Edited August 2, 20179 yr by Aggies7

August 2, 20179 yr Early returns are looking like a big fat tank job after the trades. Someone's seat is getting hot
August 2, 20179 yr Early returns are looking like a big fat tank job after the trades. Someone's seat is getting hotI'd say Molitor's chances of managing in 2018 are 25% at best. Given that, I'd rather give Dougie M or Mauer (Jake) a 2-month try out.
August 2, 20179 yr We wanted Busenitz we got Busenitz. The nose dive continues - Mayday MaydayWho wanted him? I forgot he was even on the team
August 2, 20179 yr If only there were things we could do to improve the offense. Like DL Polanco and get Vargas back. And DA Giminez and get Garver up. And try someone else in the lead-off spot. But alas, nothing can be done.
August 2, 20179 yr Can we just fire Molitor nowIt's never good when new bosses come in, and they didn't hire you to begin with.
August 2, 20179 yr I'd say Molitor's chances of managing in 2018 are 25% at best. Given that, I'd rather give Dougie M or Mauer (Jake) a 2-month try out. Chances are any new manager will come from outside the org., imo.
August 2, 20179 yr Chances are any new manager will come from outside the org., imo.Most likely. But giving one of them a trial makes more sense than Molitor managing out the string. They intended to bring someone in from outside in 1986 too. They changed their mind.
August 2, 20179 yr Yep. Taking Berrios out was definitely a brilliant decision. Grossmann struck out. Busenitz gave up 2 runs. Odds are Berrios does neither of those things.
