Bad News Bears

The sloppy play just keeps coming day after day and now MM elects to let CMart throw 117+ pitches
Big money signing grades to this point
C Maritnez C
Piscotti C
Fowler F
Cecil F
Yadi C
Not much to brag about. Sure glad they thought their defense was going to be better. MO has to take some of the blame as he constructed the roster,but I am slowly moving away from my support of MM.

I saw the end of the game and with the game on the line Grichuk took two good strikes and then swung at a ball. Nothing has changed. $60 million for Yadi, $82 MIL for Fowler, $33 MIL for Martinez, $31 MIL for Cecil. The future sure be bright for the redbirds.

The sad part of Grichy's AB was that it was totally predictable as is most everything the Birds do.

And Fowler is in a race to the bottom with Peralta. They have the worst offensive numbers on this team but Fowler has 19 more AB's.

Speaking of predictions. Waino will have 80+ pitches to get through 4 innings and the Birds will have to score at least 5 runs to stay in the game. Go Birds as the defense and more athletic play continues to improve.

Not to brag but Waino is sitting on 83 pitches 4 innings and 4 runs allowed. and getting worse. How about that for a prediction

Signing Fowler has totally transformed our defense. Diaz and Peralta are gold glove caliber, Wong is flawless. And what can you say about Patch Adams in left.

The only good thing about this start is that the Cubs are getting out of the gate a little slow or this thing could be over. I have 0 no natta confidence in Waino

I don't see how the replay folks did NOT call Judge's ball a HR. It definitely cleared the fence before the fan got a glove on it. Once it was counted as fan interference why was't it a ground rule double? Once the fan hit the ball it rolled away from Piscotty so I don't see how they could claim he would have made 3rd base on the play.

I agree. I have no idea how that play ended the way it did.
