M's vs Reds Game 1

Alright really pushing for Julio to have a good ab here. Come on man just settle down. Breathe and relax.

Wasn't pretty but puts it in play and base hit so will take it

Really loving Polancos abs right now seeing the ball well. Walking a ton. Good start cash in here!

A single is better than shit on a shingle so we'll take it.

Clase has had some rough years batting avg wise in the minors but always has decent walk rates and in turn OBP's... given his speed and JP not being able to hit a baseball, I'd lead off Clase and hit JP 9th.

That seems like a stupid time to try to steal, 3-0 count with no outs

[Sibelius Hindemith]

Julio just needs to settle down. In his 3 AB, only 2 pitches came close to the strike zone. Let it come to you Julio

If he hasn't figured that out after 2 full seasons in the majors then he's either a dunce or is getting terrible hitting advice.

Nice Mitch.

HANIGERRRR. HAVE A NIGHT WOW OFFENSE THIS IS FUN. CLASE EFFECT.

[Seattle or Bust]

A productive out with no outs and a runner on 3rd?

Who are these guys?

[Sexymarinersfan]

I thought Fraley couldn't hit lefties.

I'm not sure why else he hasn't accrued over 380 AB's in a single season. And this is his 6th season in the majors?

Unless I'm mistaken, he's had an injury bug.

Yes, he's not great at hitting lefties. But they also make up a very small % of pitchers overall. Laughable to consider that the guy would be a 4th OF for this dogshit organization when any left fielder we put out there, regardless of dexterity, is shit against both righties AND lefties.

Good to know. I'd gladly take him back if I could.
