McCann could sure learn something from Barahas on blocking balls. I’ve seen him let 4 bounce off the chest protector and back into fair territory. McCann would have attepmpted to backhand all of them resulting in a couple of wild pitches.

We cannot be held to under 4 runs. Our offense is too potent now.
We win tonight 6-5

@phil: i only try to say Minor dont need to pitch relaxed only because is a bad ball club….
i don’t see nothing but fastball fastball and more fastballs ,,,, Minor needs to mix the foking pitches
if he want to be our ace he need to be smart no only throw fastballs

I like Minor’s approach. If Teheran matures, I think we have one of the top 2 or 3 rotations in 2014.

The umpires do get graded during the season, and those dictate post season assignments (and all star games) as well as bonuses and such…

4.60 ERA on the year, and about that for his career. A solid mid-rotation starter is what he’s shown. Nothing wrong with that. Just usually shoot for more with #7 overall……

Did you not see the short hop. Mac throws everything in the dirt or flies open and hurles it towards the right field side of second.
Of course you know that thought right!

Nobody to blame but Fredi G there. Minor can’t get the ball down, everybody watching the game could tell but Fredi doesn nothing. Game was totally in reach and now…..well…we will see.

I did see it. I also saw the ball in Uggla’s glove. Then I saw Uggla drop it. And not be able to pick it up. And then the runner slid into the bag.

It would help if Uggla could glove an errant throw. Agreed.
But the throw was off. It’s often nothing new.
But this one is on minor….just not on his game tonight clearly.

I’m sorry but there was nothing wrong with the throw. If Uggla mearly catches the ball the runner slides into the tag. that was on Uggla

Yes he did. It bounced, went into Uggla’s glove, he dropped it, and couldn’t pick it up. All that happened before the runner was at the bag. That’s what I was saying.

I would leave Minor out there until his arm is no longer attached to his shoulder. Maybe he learns not to run his mouth like he did in ST. If you don’t have the stuff to back up your mouth, then shut it.
