Fans of every team in baseball believe their team sucks at manufacturing runs.

 

We missed the World Series by 1 game last year and this lineup is better than last year. The offense has beaten Syndergaard, DeGrom, Scherzer and Strasburg this year. They have held up just fine against "world class pitching."

 

We lost a really competitive series to an elite team. Maybe this year it will go the other way. There is no prime of Ty Cobb sitting around that is going to come in and be the difference.

Davies our slightly better version of Kyle Hendricks, at least this year.

 

Without looking, Hendricks has been pretty awesome lately. If I'm remembering correctly. I'd probably take Hendricks over Davies, all things being equal.

Where did this Bryan Reynolds dude come from? He's been on fire the last month or so. Was he on any top 100 lists? I'm sure he was a Pirate top ten prospect.
"Dustin Pedroia doesn't have the strength or bat speed to hit major-league pitching consistently, and he has no power......He probably has a future as a backup infielder if he can stop rolling over to third base and shortstop." Keith Law, 2006

Davies is showing why you stick with talented guys when they have down weeks, months or even whole seasons. There were plenty of people who wanted him gone last year. Still more didn't want him anywhere close to the starting rotation this year. The guy is proving that his solid 2017 season was no fluke.

Going to be tempting to lift Davies after 8 with his spot due up 2nd.

 

At 91 pitches entering the 8th he's not going to see the 9th. If he can finish 8, I'll be thrilled.

 

Be thrilled, but understand I was saying that to guys asking for a CG

We lost to the dodgers because we couldn’t hit their pitchers. Period. Our pitching, especially our pen almost won the series despite our lack of offense. Again, im confident Stearns will add a quality disciplined bat, hopefully that will make a difference in the playoffs.

Josh Bell with one of the worst at bats I’ve ever seen lol.

 

The guy is the hottest hitter in the league with a a man on third and one out against an ultra-finesse pitcher. You'd think the thought might cross his mind that Davies would pitch around him--which Davies tried to do, but Bell wouldn't let him. Unbelievably bad AB.
