No.Is Schreiber even a good pitcher anymore? Ugh
These guys are major league players. If they need a manager to remind them to not make boneheaded base running errors, that’s on the players, and the GM that built the roster.I have always been pro-Cora, but there has to be some type of accountability for incredibly poor fundamentals.
He was running with his head down, clearly just focusing on getting to third. The announcers compares it to a lack of court awareness, and I think that’s a good comparisonI have trouble understanding how that happens. What is he doing? Did he forget there was a runner on second? Like he is told to come in the game and he thinks it is two out man on first? I can’t even understand what the mistake was. It is all fucking in front of him.
Schreiber is a late inning guy, and Pivetta is a middle inning guy and it would hurt their feelie-weelies if they were used otherwise?So we get Schreiber down 6-4? But Pivetta when it was tied. I don’t really get this.
I wonder whether there’s a mental thing that happens when you have to play at such a high level just to survive. Like pressing.This team might be the worst defensive/fundamental team that's actually above .500 and in the playoff race end of August in MLB history.
Bullshit, they should be practicing fundamentals every single day. Those skills atrophy, and this team plays like they have ignored them completely.These guys are major league players. If they need a manager to remind them to not make boneheaded base running errors, that’s on the players, and the GM that built the roster.
Looking at game logs, it seems that he’s usually good but when he’s bad, he’s bad.Is Schreiber even a good pitcher anymore? Ugh
Barely. He held up. It’s a timing play so he can actually score. He needs to high tail it and try to draw the throw home.At least Casas lumbered for home when he realized there was a pickoff.
We have the 2-3-4 hitters coming up for us ... all is not lostThat'll do it. Get at it tomorrow.
Can't atrophy whatcha ain't got.Bullshit, they should be practicing fundamentals every single day. Those skills atrophy, and this team plays like they have ignored them completely.
There's a Mensa joke somewhere in here if we squint.
Mensa jokes aren't funny
Bernardino was fine. And also should have been facing the lefty who wouldn't get pinch hit for the inning before.Not much you can do when your entire bullpen shits the bed at once.
On the other hand, it's beyond even the capabilities of @Brand Name to calculate all the mental mistakes they've made this yearI am not even mad anymore. They are who they are. Wildly inconsistent and flawed team with flashes of being really good.
Pshaw, the second base coach should have put up the stop signWong’s gaffe is also heavily on the 1B coach. The scenarios need to be put in his ear in that spot.
But that’s not what happened. Pivetta shit the bedNot much you can do when your entire bullpen shits the bed at once.
So they should bring back Bobby V style base running drills?Bullshit, they should be practicing fundamentals every single day. Those skills atrophy, and this team plays like they have ignored them completely.
Why, you want more unintentional humor?Give me baserunners
It would be a season changing win. We have that going for us.We have the 2-3-4 hitters coming up for us ... all is not lost
You’re right. The first base coach has very few responsibilities. That is one of them.Wong’s gaffe is also heavily on the 1B coach. The scenarios need to be put in his ear in that spot.
And two Dodger errors. But no hits with RISP. Well, one. But we made an out anyway.Wait, we have 14 hits? Sure doesn't feel like it, sheesh.
I believe in the butterfly effect. If Wong hadn't done what he did, Casas would have been thrown out trying to steal home on the next pitch.That'd have been cool an inning go. Fuckers
Except of course, he would have been facing the lefty and who know what would have happenedMcDonough, "Would have been nice to see Devers' base hit with the bases loaded."
Down 3, means nothing.God damn it. Have to get to 2nd there.
Even to take the double play off the table?Down 3, means nothing.
Are you really serious?Or maybe the problem is that these guys just aren’t good enough baseball players, so they can’t overcome their mental lapses.
Except for the double play machine at the plateDown 3, means nothing.
