He balances out some of how absolutely horrible Matt Devlin is. God he's bad.

Devlin's a basketball guy. I don't blame him for being good here.

What a bum.

I'm not saying it's necessarily his fault, I just can't understand how anyone in charge has watched him call a game and thought "Yeah, we need more of that."

I've never heard an announcer so bad at calling the play as it happens, especially in baseball. He regularly calls plays several seconds after they happen, even on basic things like a strikeout. It literally seems like he's watching a delayed feed or just not paying attention to the game.

Yeah, he regularly seems to have no idea what’s happening, like on the line-out to Guerrero to end the 1st that he called a ‘ground ball’ followed by a confused silence.

More great base running in a close game.

I don’t have too much of a problem with that one to try to get to 3rd with 1 out.

Mayza not available?

Bo damn continues

Thank you Willy.

Vladdy isn't even trying to help himself, I say this because going back to the top of the 1st, he grounded into a double play, but when he hit it to 3rd base and the transfer at 2nd my gut was he may have a chance then the camera pans to 1st and Vladdy isn't even close and literally just jogging to 1st. Like that kind of mentality isn't going to help anything when you can't even hustle down the line to try and beat it, people may think this is harsh but I'm a little old school, but I would of pulled him then, if you can't even hustle to try and beat a double play you really don't deserve to be in the game. Just shows his mind is not in it because of his struggle at the plate, but sometimes the manager needs to put on the big boy pants and send a message.

Vladdy continues to absolutely suck.

This team needs like 9-1 streak here to get some momentum

 

[MS]

Guerrero was playing great until he hurt his knee a couple weeks ago and has been terrible since, and it seems fairly obvious that that injury is tied to his recent struggles.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Varsho caught one lol

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Varso reminds me a lot of Travis Dermott

This is a valid point, last number I saw was .290 his average is still decent for how long his recent struggles have been, more rest might be a good thing.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

How bout that at bat lol this announcer is so annoying

 

[MS]

He was raking in the first half of this month and had hits in 13 of 14 games with an OPS over 1.000 and then got hurt and he’s at like .500 since.

It feels like they should have put him on the 10-day IL and he’s maybe mucked up his mechanics by trying to play through an injury.

Could of factored into his lack of hustle down the line, that I saw in the 1st, but watching his swing yesterday I found myself saying keep your head in it man, and again today, and even Siddall mentioned he can see it in his swing mechanics. Maybe it's factoring in a bit, but he should be able to keep his head in it, it's like he's just trying to go yard instead of just putting the ball somewhere hard.

Take the win, wasn't the greatest but take it.

 

[RoadWarrior]

The weight shit is overblown too.

Bengie Molina was overweight, often becoming the butt of jokes for it and yet still managed to have a successful 12 year career almost entirely behind the plate. (And somehow hit for the cycle in his later years)

Catcher and first base are like the two positions where athleticism doesn't generally matter but keep clinging to those delusions Moreno is better.

I’m just guessing you’re not on a keto diet….

Im thrilled that Berrios has found his groove again. Just in time to rescue the rotation from Manoa.

 

[canucksfan]

Won the series. Outside of Manoah, like the pitching. Bats obviously need to get going. Luckily they miss Corbin Burnes.

Vladdy isn’t in great shape either. He probably needs time to rest because he’s dragging his ass around the diamond.

Varso reminds me a lot of Travis Dermott

Theres a resemblance for sure. Unfortunately Travis was nothing more than a bottom pairing guy and I’m afraid Varsho is a 7-9 hitter in the lineup.

Sounding like the moneyball scouts that wanted to sign Geronimo
