Don't swing Taylor. He'll walk you.

I don't think Ross is doing his pitcher any favors. Doesn't appear to be framing pitches at all.

The ducks are on the pond.

swung and missed on a meatball

How is it possible that David Ross doesn't know how to catch when he's been in the big league for several years??

freak.

Taylor can't hit 89 mph fastballs. good to know.

spidernat · « **Reply #110:** May 25, 2015, 03:24:22 PM »

two meatballs

Ump is squeezing this guy

KV · « **Reply #112:** May 25, 2015, 03:24:33 PM »

Missed 2 meat fastballs

BigMeech · « **Reply #113:** May 25, 2015, 03:24:37 PM »

Taylor should be a defense-replacement ONLY. He's trash at the plate.

Jordanz Meatballz · « **Reply #114:** May 25, 2015, 03:24:50 PM »

Bah, Taylor got about the same pitch for all three strikes.

mitlen · « **Reply #115:** May 25, 2015, 03:24:53 PM »

Oh Michael ... Michael.

Game.

And he whiffed on an 88 mph fastball on a 3-1 count with the bases loaded so that tells you a lot about his bat.

thepointe01 · « **Reply #118:** May 25, 2015, 03:25:28 PM »

Does Taylor always choke up on the bat even in 0 and 1 strike counts? Just noticed that.

Ramos can't catch.

Smithian · « **Reply #120:** May 25, 2015, 03:25:46 PM »

crap.

Oh well. This guy has over 60 pitches through 4. They'll light his ass up next couple inning.

PC · « **Reply #121:** May 25, 2015, 03:25:59 PM »

Michael Taylor really has a problem with contact.

I don't know if I'd go that far but he does K nearly 40% of the time and that's way too much for a major league hitter. I'd almost rather see Moore in while Werth is out.

I'd rather have better options.

Hah, he's no Ryan Church. I think I saw Ryan out on a pontoon boat this weekend down at Lake Anna. Looked like he'd put on a couple of pounds but he was tanned and a babe on each arm. Couldn't tell if either one of them was Jewish, however.
