Next game still starting at 6:10 pm or what?

Maybe don't get picked off at 1st with nobody out and a runner on 3rd. Just destroyed that inning, Vlad.

Tapia catches that.

Perhaps Teo shouldn't have come back in cold, windy Cleveland. Kind of mistake that costs you a game.

Don't worry, Ryu will be back next week.

Those two flyballs Stripling got leading to three runs had expected batting averages of .150 and .060.

Why is he allowed to push espinal off the base?

According to the Cleveland announcers it was his "momentum" that did that

.850 expected batting average on that line out to LF for Bo. Stick with the lazy flyouts today, I guess.

3 outs on the bases in 3 innings + terrible outfield defense. If we lose, we'll have deserved it.

Have never liked his call and I'm not entirely sure why.

We can’t be splitting a series with Cleveland

Agreed. I can’t really put my finger on it, either.

A team that plays Tapia and Zimmer as much as we do can't bemoan splits on the road.

Bradley Zimmer makes Tapia look like Mike Trout.

v1n5anity · Post #198 » by **v1n5anity** » Sat May 7, 2022 11:49 pm

Zimmer is just an automatic out. Dude swings at every pitch, especially low pitches. Tapia atleast has shown some improvement so I'll lay off him. But Zimmer and that other guy with a long last name, I think he's our backup catcher, just suck so much.

Raider917 · Post #199 » by **Raider917** » Sat May 7, 2022 11:50 pm

why did they trade for zimmer? what are his good qualities?

v1n5anity · Post #200 » by **v1n5anity** » Sat May 7, 2022 11:52 pm

David "Hot-headed" Phelps. I didn't like how he reacted when I think it was Tapia who couldn't make a catch and caused a run, kinda shouted "Wtf?"; and when Montoyo came out to change him, showed a grumpy face.

I guess it's just his competitive nature. I just don't think you show up your teammates/manager like that. But I like him, don't get me wrong.
