Wow. Joe how the crap can you credit Jeff? He barely threw out the catcher at home, that’s NOT impressive.

Oh bravos, you were referring to what I said about Bobby. Heh. There’s too many moments to chose from tonight I guess. Anyway, when Kawakami hit the batter to load the bases the camera cut to Bobby and he just did this thing with his hat, hard to explain but you could definitely see the frustration.
I’ve never seen that commercial they just showed with the old woman saying Gonzo was
“nice looking”. LOL cute.

KJ is 10th in the majors in HR among 2b.

Only one earned run against Kawakami — other was unearned because of the passed ball.
Oh, DOB don’t make excuses for him, we all know he’s a disappointment.
Next you’ll be trying to get us to believe he’s had 6 out of his 8 starts have been Quality Starts!

You’re right. An outfield assist to end the inning and keep it a close game? A real announcer would’ve just yawned it off…probably wouldn’t even mention it.

Honestly if the put Escobar on the DL who are they gonna call up?
I heard Brook Conrad isn’t on the 40 man roster and he’s playing shortstop every day in Gwinnett. Someone from Double A to play infield? Or an outfielder?

Obviously you don’t see my point. He threw a one hopper to Ross, and BARELY got out MOLINA. who was on SECOND. That’s an assist BUT it’s not the most impressive one he’s had. And the gushed about it like it ended the game. Good play, but that’s a play he’s expected to make with his arm. He may not always make it, but still not THAT impressive.

We really don’t make use of Schafer’s skill set. We’ve got a team that lacks both power and speed. So, what do we do with our one hitter who has decent speed? Bat him 8th so that every time he gets a hit in front of the pitcher he doesn’t get to take advantage of that speed. He either has to stand on 1st and wait for the pitcher to make the third out to ensure that the lineup turns over, or he has to allow the pitcher to drop down a sac bunt.
Look, I agree with everyone else that Schafer has issues with his swing that need to be worked out. However, if we’re going to continue to start him while he works through it all, let’s at least take advantage of the skills he offers rather than letting them rot.
Yes, I realize he scored just now. All I’m saying is, would you rather never take advantage of his speed by having him hit 8th, causing us to have to use an out to move him up a base … or would you rather let him try to use that speed and move up a base on his own without using up an out?

You have a point. Being hurt in the feet, hands, whatever has nothing to do with his eyes. IDK why he was swinging at bad pitches.
