Kazmir isn't quite feeling like a #2 lately..hopefully he gets more focused and on point. 69 pitches through 3 is not great.
First time he was right, it was a ball, this second at bat, it was a strike, Trumbo is wrong. Kazmir has pitched a lot tonight, probably will go 5 and Fields in the 6th.
Somebody was saying something about Gattis shouldn't be playing today... But it's Hinch that can't make a lineup.
It was a great at bat. But that same person says Marisnik should play cf, and he would had caught that "double" that drove a run, right??????
Then to my point, Hinch is WRONG. Gomez has a weak arm, and does not covers the ground Marisnick does. My point of .500 for 3 months is avearge and Hinch, and he should have the balls to play Marisnick in cf and Gomez in LF when both play. Who plays better cf Gomez or Marisnick??? I've seen both, and for me Marisnick without any doubt.
I've seen many cfers, many live games Juan Beniquez, named "Clipper Cangrejero" and others, but Marisnick is one of the best i've seen. He glides like Devon White did in his hey days, and makes difficult outs look very easy. Gomez is good, but Marisnick is better, and i would say a lot better, not saying bad things about Gomez, is just that i feel Jake is that good. Tonight, with such a fly ball pitcher, why not have that guy in CF? I think Hinch should make taht move on playing jake in CF over Gomez when both play together. Why is not happening? Because they are afraid of what Carlos is going to think???? Tonight, it cost a run and 4 or 5 pitches, high tensity pitches as a runner was on base adn Trumbo hitting. In one run games, taht may be the difference, and that has been my position all day long, we need to make all the right moves from now on.
