Brown is terrible the 3rd time thru and after the 6th inning. I wonder if Dusty had any idea.

he should have been pulled as soon as he gave up the extra base hit to start the inning.

We don't seem to pitch them cautiously which I find odd

I don't disagree there. I'm just saying I'm fine with letting him start the inning.

Not just that

If your plan is maton, he does well coming in the beginning of an inning and is god awful coming in the middle of an inning with runners on

Stupid krusty

Why is HB still in


Because he's pitched well?

Why the hell are you so damn negative ALL THE TIME.


Its not being negative

Its being a realist

And specially with maton warming who generally doesnt do well coming in the middle of innings


No, stoneca is negative all the damn time.

We went from the smartest team in baseball to somewhere in the bottom handful.

I don't disagree, but how does Brown, a young guy, get better the 3rd time thru the order if he doesn't try.

He should have been pulled after the first batter, but he's gotta be given the chance to learn in real game too.

I could have gone either way on taking HB out or giving him the 7th. Just didn't work out

Just so we have the #s

1st Time - .693
2nd Time - .704
3rd Time - .865

Very small sample but Brown has a 7.20 ERA / .964 OPS in the 7th inning this season.

If you squint just right you could say he's only squandered half his inheritance.

Diaz with three smokes and a HR. We may not see him again until September.

Yainer hits a homer and goes 3/3 on throwing out runners. Some adult in the room please put this guy in the lineup every day.

He also has to gain experience and learn from it too. If he's not given the opportunity, he won't learn and get better.

Again, should have been batter to batter, but I'm ok, with the series in hand, giving him a shot.

On the broadcast today, TK said Diaz has the strongest arm of all catchers in the MLB @ 85.4mph (average throw to 2nd).

Add it to the list of things he's exceptionally better at than Maldonado

I can agree with this. But he already went thru half the lineup and then trouble started. Gotta make the move after the first well-hit ball. Not leave him out there to give up the HR and single.

That Bregman play was beautiful. He really loaded up and fired that throw. Feels like we don't see that arm strength all that often.

Anyone else love the nonchalant catch at first there? Made Bregman's play look that much better.
