Not defending the demotion as it was right decision. Keeping him around was also the right decision. I still think he sucks, but I don't see the relevance in your comment about him getting demoted as he was still kept around in case of injury.
shake it off, paulino. He does that to everyone in this park. No biggie it's a solo. If he keeps taking his flintstones vitamins pujols gets to 700.
Chavez will be able to pitch 10 or 11 innings at this pitch count rate. Guess our offense forgot to set their alarm clocks. Of course with BOTH McCann and Correa riding the pine that takes a chunk of heat out.
Score some damn runs. Ten consecutive road games with 5+... then return home and score <5 every game. 62 career HRs against us (including postseason).... most of player in league history. Hammerin' Hank is #2.
I know injuries are part of the game, but damn. All at once? Who the hell is going to be scared of Paulino, Peacock, bum #3, McCullers and Fiers. Teams will come in feeling like they can compete with our offense and do it. I would love to see us at FULL strength. Keuchal, McCullers, McHugh, Morton, Musgrove. Plug in Fiers for spot starts. That plus our offense equals excitement. AAA pitchers will give up more runs then our offense, which has substantially cooled, can overcome.
That's a good way to take the ump out of the game. THat was an impressive homer. He didn't even look like he got all of it, and it was an opposite field bomb.
