So ... it looks like Call gets in vs a starting RHP. Davey finding a way to get his best bench bat in and rest a guy who is slumping. Prediction... unless Lowe has 2 Good games today and Tuesday, he gets Wednesday off, again Wood dhs, and Bell plays 1st.

Since 5/18, 5 hottest hitters are Crews, Wood, Garcia, Call, and Tena. Some thunder at the bottom of the order

Canning's only rough start this year was on 4/11 vs Athletics (4 ER in 5.1 IP). Had 2 nice recent starts (11 IP, 2-0, 10 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 13K).

Williams has gotten results but has had guys on his last 2 starts (10 IP, 0-1, 9 H, 2 ER, 1HR, 4 BB, 10K)

Garcia drawing walks lately

No MLB TV for me, so it's Charlie and Dave.

Williams...hmmm.

Well Call sucks in LF also.

welch · « **Reply #8 on:** April 28, 2025, 04:32:40 pm »

Williams might make a good two or three inning relief pitcher.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #9 on:** April 28, 2025, 04:39:31 pm »

Crews is going to be moved up to 1-4 in the order vs lhp soon.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #10 on:** April 28, 2025, 04:55:26 pm »

Nice recovery for Williams

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #11 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:04:53 pm »

Torres had been pretty good balls and strikes until he blew the called strike on LGJr. Cost us bases loaded no outs.

Super costly. Bases loaded no outs, runner scores on the Lowe grounder.

Seems like a lot of missed opportunities so far.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:24:33 pm »

Not impressed by Canning. I think we get to him in the 5th

Slateman · « **Reply #14 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:25:06 pm »

Put Williams in the pen. Keep Lord in the rotation.

Nope

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #16 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:40:04 pm »

Never should have tried to make Lord a reliever

GataNats · « **Reply #17 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:42:04 pm »

Williams sucks. There was absolutely no reason to re-sign him

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:46:30 pm »

6 run lead. No coming back.

varoadking · « **Reply #19 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:46:32 pm »

Yet another masterful job of managing the pitching staff by dave...

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:48:27 pm »

Eh, it was down 3 at the start of the 6th and the pitch count was low. They don't get a day off until 5/8. Have to try to save the bullpen.

imref · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2025, 05:51:45 pm »

Just tuned in. Yikes. Still, no complaints if we split with the Mets

Williams allowed 1 ER in each of his last two starts. Lord has a 4.70 ERA in his last 4 starts with opponents hitting .310 off of him.

I think the 3 batter rule for relievers made it too easy for dimwits like dave...they don't have to think too much...

BTW...not to beat the proverbial dead horse...but the pitch timer, that reliever rule, and the ghost runner deal still suck...

It's the DH that make it easier for dimwit managers.
