RUPERTKBD Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I don't want to jump in too hard here, because I just got home and probably don't know the whole story, but I have to wonder why you bring in Dolis with a one run lead? Yes, he's been better lately, but even so, he usually alternates between okay and unable to find the strike zone....Yesterday was an off day, so I'm not sure why we're saving the top guys.... I get that it's a double header, but what happened to "Play to win and worry about the next game later"? That's pretty much been Charlie's motto all season, but in game one, for some reason, we're trying to win a game with the B team from the pen....

Gurn Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 After the trades to bolster the bullpen, add a starter, and some fielding depth; it appears more and more that Charlie is next on the list of issues to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Can't win them all, but after losing the first game of the double header, it was very important to not lose 2 in row. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 It was nerve racking, but the bottom of seven in game 2 was fun to watch..... Bases loaded and Shohei Ohtani up....MLB leader in HRs against a guy who can throw 100 and Romano gets the K with 99 MPH high gas..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to be in the #2 spot in the box scores for some of the games I looked at in July, but earlier in the season he was often in the #3 spot. Is hitting in the #2 spot behind Springer the problem? regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Just gave up his first walk. And another walk, should have been his 12th strikeout after a 11 pitch at bat. Minoah is pulled. Edited August 12, 2021 by gurn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minoah is pulled. I like Manoah. Kid is a gem. Him and Pearson are going to be a formidable 1-2 punch in our rotation for years to come. Berrios and Ryu in the mix is going to look nasty as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really frustrating last night, even though the jays win going away.... Manoah appeared to have the last batter in the 7th struck out twice, only to be denied the call by home plate umpire, Ed Hickox. Charlie gives him the hook and then Tyler Saucedo closes out the inning. Top of the 8th and Hickox is back calling those exact same pitches strikes.... I wish MLB would just switch to those pitch trackers and get these inconsistent umps out of there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Springer lands akwardly after jumping to catch a ball at the wall. Looks like his left ankle area, out of the game, bottom of 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
