19445They should bump EDdie and Ramirez up one spot and drop Santana down to 6th. He's really struggling right now.
Re: GameTime!™
19446Another homer for EE. And another one that was an absolute blue dart.
They need to bump him back up to clean up spot.

19447I thought EE had another, but off the wall for a double. But Santana hit a solo shot to pull us within one.

19448I thought our starting rotation was supposed to be our strength
John Hart believed that pitching was a crapshoot from year to year, so he loaded up on offense during the "era of champions." He figured if our pitchers could give up less than 5 runs, we would win.

19450It does help if you load up on Vizquel, Alomar, Thome, Ramirez and down the line....J.R. wrote:I thought our starting rotation was supposed to be our strength

Bottom line pitching gets injured more often too, which was another Hart theme. Kluber has been out, Carrasco even skipped a start, Salazar..well.... never been the most stable guy.
This team isn't hitting that great or pitching that great, the bullpen and overall talent is saving them.

Re: GameTime!™
19451EE is heating up! He just hit another homer, but it was too high, over the foul pole, so it was called foul. Replays showed it went right over the pole, though!
Re: GameTime!™
19452I agree. I thought it curved right over the pole.
Gonzalez looking really good, in the field and at bat. We have a nice little trade piece there.

Re: GameTime!™
19453You would think that they would have cameras on top of all the foul poles in every park, facing directly toward home. Don't have to be fancy, just good enough to see the path of the balls.
