July/August 2020 Game Thread

Villar ruined a chance at a big inning for us in the 5th swinging on the 3-0 count.

I second this motion. Peterson had just thrown 7 balls in a row.

Listening to Don Mattingly, It certainly sounds like Humberto Mejia is going to get another start next week. The way it lines up, could be for the real home opener Friday August 14 vs Atlanta.

Brinson is so bad.

You’re right. It doesn’t help, though, that he hit a ball 108 mph 12” off the ground for an out.

That's literally the only ball he's hit hard so far this season
Not a huge sample size, I know.

Early returns on Villar is I both love him and hate him. Love his skillset, but doesnt make the smartest decisions from what I've seen.

[Nick]

Would be a good time for Harrison to look like he knows what he's doing up there.

Wooooooo!!!!

So Villar is literally an idiot.

[Namaste]

Villar just swung at ball 4 on a 3-0 count

[Nick]

That was awful.

Villar and 3-0 twice tonight swings. Him in the leadoff spot just drives me batshit crazy

[Namaste]

Villar needs a foot up his ass to wake him up

And it should. A walk to Villar would have put go-ahead run in scoring position. I put both those at bats on management. No player swings 3-0 without permission to do so.

Villar has killed this game. We’re a swing away from tying it though.

Josh A Smith and Josh D Smith can be the first ones to go when guys come back. I don’t even think we’ve seen Josh D but I don’t care.

[Nick]

Bleier getting injured really hurts.

Cool to see Venditte pitching for the Marlins. I've been following him since his college days.

Game notes:

I can't see Castano moving forward. Hitters were just too comfortable against him.

What a low bar we've set for Monte. He cues a dribbler through the right side of the infield and we're ready to hand him CF. Note: he played a warning track can of corn into a double last night with misjudgement. I remain extremely cautious in his regard.

Bunting needs work. We've tried a few and nobody has been able to get one down.

Need huge effort from Pablo this afternoon
