The good news is we are bombing. The bad news is this is exactly how we played last year. We need men on base when we hit these dingers. Aoki, Gurriel, Reddick, Bregman. I'm talking to you, lol. They only have 6 hits.
Breg and aoki both had hits to set up others tonight. Altuve had two chances to drive i runs and didn't. This lineup will get on base at a much better pace.
This offense is insane. Also, Kalas has been great. He explained WRC (and some other stats) very well in Spring Training. Good pace. Good info. Knows when to be quiet. Pairs well with Blum. Really sad to see Felix hurt. SEA kind of wasted his career. What an absolute stud pitcher in his prime. Maybe not underrated but under-appreciated. Dude could deal.
Anyone is better than ashby. I legitimately hated his performance . I still like our radio guys though . They've done a good job after milo left . It would take a hell of a tv crew to best prime J.D and brownie
Absolutely . I would've loved to see what he could do in the playoffs. A lot of his velocity "decline" is self imposed to keep him healthy throughout the season . Most pitchers do it to some degree . Verlander, for example , only throws hard late in the game after he's had a chance to warm up fully . In the playoffs you kinda go balls to the wall , I think if they would have made it we could've seen shades of his electric stuff that he displayed when he was younger.
I love our radio guys, I'd prefer listening to them on the radio if I'm not in a comfortable setting to watch the game.
The current radio crew...that is. The guys that had taken over with and just after MIlo were awful. I don't miss them a bit. I, too, am glad Ashby is gone. No more awkward moments with females, No more pointless stories and Captain Obvious observations. Kalas is just a professional p-b-p guy. I'll get used to his voice over time.
