I'm supposed to be the designated Singleton defender, but I missed his AB dealing with some stuff. I went back and watched it. Im surprised he swung at that first outside pitch. He usually has a better eye and more patience than swinging at junk that early. Maybe it was opening day jitters or the scouting report that led to it.

Hopefully he can prove all the haters wrong his next chance. That's about the best I can manage at the moment.

Singleton has shown plate discipline, worth giving a shot early this season.

Though need to be ready to cut the cord at some point lest this becomes another Julks situation.

He showed plate discipline in like 50 ABs last year. I'm not ready to put him in big spots

If it's not a diver in a tux, it's not worth mentioning.

I should have specified… CALLED OUT on strap being loose.

On the plus side we were 3rd in EV, 7th in HH%, & 2nd in xBA.

Who is likely available from the bullpen today? Mushinski and Beilak are the only 2 that didn't go yesterday. Have to assume Presley is down.

It's all from the walks yesterday. That will get cleaned up.

We also couldn't get key hits.

Both staffs did a good job getting out of jams with a lot of traffic.

Seeing Hader is person was fun. He just mowed guys down. No one had any chance.

I also really liked how Espada managed.

I don't care if Jake hit a HR, he has a decent history of being poor vs RHP while Singleton is more likely to reach base to get Altuve up.

I loved that he used Pressly in the 7th to face the heart of the order. If things worked out, Taylor would have gotten the bottom in the 8th and Hader gets Soto-Judge.

Why Singleton though? If we're going to put Dubon in the field anyway by pulling Jake, he's a more proven offensive player. If we were carrying 3 catchers, you could make an argument for pinch hitting Carantini since he's a switch hitter. Singleton just seemed like the worst possible option in that scenario.

L/R match up & Singleton ability to draw walks.

Didn't see it posted. They put up and ump score last night? Was at the game so it was hard to tell whether a lot of those close calls were bad.

I agree. Hader was electric in person.

I have no problems with how Espada managed yesterday. I was fine with getting Big Jon that PH AB. It made sense. I think people are pissed because Jon works counts and swing at first pitch with RISP and 2 outs. I haven't watched a replay, but it looked like he nubbed a check swing.

Didn't have any problems with Espada yesterday. We gave too many free passes yesterday. Can't do that

Our stars didn't hit and we walked enough people for an entire series and we only lost by 1.

That's the positive in that the back end of our lineup came to play and hopefully it's a good sign for the rest of the year.

I'd be lying if it's not a little sad this morning watching sportscenter and seeing the top of the lineups on the teams we expect to see in October lighting it up on opening day while ours laid down.

Yeah, let's be honest, Framber should have been tagged for 7 or 8, giving up 11 baserunners in 4.2/3 innings.

13 hits including an HR should win you 75% of your games with your #1 pitcher on the mound. Framber better get his crap together

I was pretty happy with what I saw offensively yesterday from us. If a couple of those singles found a gap it's a different outcome.

The free bases were the biggest concern to me

This, and just overall Framber. He goes downhill quickly when the first "bad" thing happens or he gets squeezed by blue. Yesterday, blue refused to give him the bottom of the zone - and for Framber that means he will not have a good day. He lives down there.
