Great stuff from Duff!

 

But gee, seems our catcher has Garv Sauce all over his fingers trying to dig balls out of the dirt tonight...

I'm making a call! Sano goes yard for the win!!!!

I would take that, and it wouldn’t affect my RISP argument

twins bullpen = one run in five innings. that’s pretty good, right?

 

They have the payroll space to afford better checkers.

 

I'd have to check your math.

Golden sombrero. Oops.

Absolutely no confidence in or from Sano.

Enough with the checked swings. 

Hey listen, regarding sano, you’re gonna have to take the bad defense if you want the empty at bats ending in strikeouts

Sano has no reputation as disciplined - he's never going to get a break on those calls.

Sano swing 3 pitches and all miss. Just sucks.

The Red Sox are better at check swings than we are.

I mean I was hoping to be proven wrong.

Prolly should've checked to see who was due up.

Technically can’t be a high leverage situation if it leads off the inning, I don’t think?

Jake “MLB Ready” Cave?

He didn't need a break. That was absolutely a swing. 

 

And again, swing or don't.

This guy had given up 2 hits per inning coming into this game.

K numbers skyrocketing lately

Sano' K% is up to 40% right now. Incredible.

That was never going to be our inning anyway

Yeesh.

Sano reminds me of Delmon Young.

 

 

The good: Top of the lineup is up next. The bad: Blake Parker.

The last few games it seems like the HPU's have been going off of intent instead of where the bat and wrists end up, and taking personal affront at the desire for an appeal.

Well it was a tight game but missed too many chances. Parker is in. Game over folks. Looks like we finally lost 3 in a row.

Gross. But at least there's Blake Parker to look forward to.

 

He didn't need a break. That was absolutely a swing. 

 

And again, swing or don't.

I thought he swung, too.

 

It's not just as easy as "swing or don't." It goes back to pitch recognition. He recognizes, too late, the ball won't be a strike. 

Hate watching Parker,

Maybe he has vision issues like BJ Garbe?

Only the best will do for them
