Walkoff Win for the Fish Gang!
Agree on all-points.Another one-run win! If we still had Donny baseball, we would probably be five games under .500
Jazz is starting to come alive, which is great to see. It would be huge for us if he could get his BA to that 270 range. It starts with plate recognition for him, especially with two strikes he would swing at anything at times.
We are really good at games under four runs being 14-0, it should get us more wins when Cueto comes back healthy and Eury gets called up. Once Cabrera gets better control of his pitches, watch out. I love the style of play we are playing in those wins, too. Arraez is a beast and should be signed in for the long term, like today. He has had knee issues, but with his hitting and the DH in the National League, he can be our Nelson Cruz at worst.
BTW, Nasim Nunez now has two home runs in the minors, matching his minor league career total. It seems he got his weight up which is huge! His defense would be a blessing with our rotation.
Cappe, Watson, and Edwards all continue to hit, too. We finally have some bats in the farm system worth something.
Agree on all-points.
Jazz reminds me a lot of Tim Anderson, in the first 4 years of his career in the Big Leagues he was an over active hacker at the plate who would swing at pretty much anything, but once he understood the game & figured out how to get on Base, he started hitting at an Elite level. He also started out as a Centerfielder before being moved to SS, although I don’t think we’ll see Jazz ever play Short.
Our Offense is good at generating runs considering we don’t really have a lot of power outside of Soler, so we have to manufacture runs & do a very good job at getting guys home.
Arraez reminds me Luis Castillo with his patience at the plate & ability to hit good pitches, he really doesn’t waste AB’s at all chasing, he forces Pitchers to strike him out or else he’s getting on-Base lol
Nasim has a great arm & is high-level Defensive infielder, if he can even be a 13-15 HR’s guy he’ll be a big time Pro.
I still think we could use a Power Bat at RF, Garcia & Sanchez just don’t have it IMO.
We need to rob the Mets or the Orioles for some of the Power they got down in their Farm clubs, they’re hoarding all of the Hitters lol
Orioles having a very good season thus far, they’re stacked with young talent.
