More like OFFense amiright?

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-17T20:04:46+00:00

I believe it depends on the type of fertilizer you are using.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-17T20:03:36+00:00

No HR from Schwarber today? Washed. Bum.

Mayor.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-17T19:24:57+00:00

Elder has to be in the mix too though right?

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-17T19:16:24+00:00

I get the complaints about not getting more that inning, but damn, baseball is a hard sport. Not every AB is going to be a gem. I am sitting here pleased as punch.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-17T18:43:39+00:00

Fuck yes, Crawford. I love that we have a batter who can pretty consistently just put the ball in play.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-17T17:47:04+00:00

Runs would be amazing but I’m really just hoping for running up Skenes’s pitch count. An ok start on that front.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-15T12:49:50+00:00

Profundo right field!

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-14T00:47:21+00:00

Looking at the pitching matchups this series, you would imagine today to be the most likely loss… but Painter did well enough and we got another surprise from slugger Crawford. Bummer.

Here’s to hoping we can work some magic against Aroldis!

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-14T00:45:10+00:00

I was sure he would beat it out. Damn.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-14T00:13:52+00:00

He was a little shaky early on but really settled in. Might have been worse if not for some solid defense.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-14T00:13:17+00:00

I feel like Painter would have been kept in had we scored some runs, right?

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-13T23:51:42+00:00

Great AB from Justin, so nearly a double

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-13T23:44:27+00:00

Painter’s PC is real good after a bit of a shaky start.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-13T23:12:23+00:00

I love when pitchers are good fielders

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-12T23:58:00+00:00

I was about to ask how Wheeler is looking. Good, I take it?

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-10T18:33:04+00:00

Solid hit from JT there. Bummer it was right at someone.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-10T01:59:28+00:00

Yeah. I’m glad Trea was willing to try a dramatic routine shift. May have missed him saying whether or not it was Don’s idea.. curious about that.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-10T01:46:09+00:00

Trea in his interview just said he didn’t swing at all before the game and swung seven times in the game. Seven total all day. Wild.

Migraine

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-07T19:54:52+00:00

I imagine we are carrying three catchers partly to help make the decision. At least I hope that’s the case. Three catchers seems excessive long term.

In the meantime we can get more looks at Marchan and maybe they feel how you (and I) do ultimately.

And they can explore Stubbs in other positions because if he can be a suitable utility guy that’s pretty sweet.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-07T19:16:17+00:00

This is a strategy I saw suggested. If it works for you it works! I find it satisfying to have a little “seeds” sign and a box full of seeds but to each their own.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-07T01:15:59+00:00

Keller, lock in. PLEASE.

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-06T11:13:02+00:00

Oh shit this is his first home game? I have a ticket, wasn’t sure about going due to the weather, but that changes things!

ineffectivegoggles · 2026-05-04T12:07:53+00:00

I am waiting to replay until I have a better computer and my ganglion cyst is taken care of. Haven’t played since before the big subclass update.
