btownqb Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Just now, ATX_sig said: I really hate that about Bell. I realize injuries factor in some this year but the constant juggling of the lineup is crazy. When Bochy 1st arrived in Texas he set a lineup and the main players stay in their same spot. If they went out for an injury or load management their replacement took that spot in the order not to disrupt the othes.. His claim is MLB players are creatures of habit and are more comfortable when they know what to expect on a day to day basis. When Bochy arrived in Texas he had about 4x the talent that Bell does, so he has that ability. Who else could you put in the leadoff role with Friedl, India, and McClain hurt? @IU Scott was upset with Bell last year for NOT changing the lineup.

Seeking6 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 So glad I got to see him a few weeks ago. Skenes treating the Cubs like tball time.....and Hendricks imploding. Regarding Skenes I have no clue what the projection is but he's got the best arm my amateur eyes have seen since Stras...and actually better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember complaining about the lineup that much but my biggest complaints are about how he handles the pitching staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Well I was flipping through the channels and saw the Cubs and Pirates game on MLB but it is blacked out. I don't understand why that would be blacked out in the Indy area. I have the Marquee Network so I could watch Skenes pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the left fielder threw his arms up in the universal sign of a ground rule double. If he did that intentionally to mislead, that's impressive thinking. I'm going to say double, despite what my eyes see and chalk it up to an optical illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturalhoosier Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 (edited) Had an event tonight in Great America for the conference. As a baseball fan, it was pretty awesome. Tossed a few pitches in the bullpen (lit the gun for 70. Not really. Hit 55…hoping my arm doesn’t fall off tomorrow!!!). Other than that it was the standard tour stuff. Open access to both dugouts. They recently put in this over-sized pinballesque baseball game based on the old baseball pinball games. It was pretty epic!!!!! Heading to the game tomorrow night!!

I see the Reds won 2-0 with both if their runs were unearned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
