So you think that was a wild pitch??? As good as a catcher cozart is I have seen him do that a couple times this year.


The amount of runs/strikes/outs that Cozart has created for this team is immeasurable.


Not to mention that runner may not be on at all if Dom doesn't hit him. Team game

Burns is really good but I absolutely hate our approach right now. Even Avent is admitting we aren't going to score runs. Have an approach. Either hunt the fastball early or work the count and try and get him out of the game. It's a common issue any time a team plays a stud pitcher you feel like you have to change up what you do

I agree not saying he is a bad player. I was just making a comment.

I mean if we are playing normal depth that's probably a ground out instead of a double.

Just a myriad of bad stuff, really. Soles being forced into the outfield with hogue injury also hurts, as he doesn't have the strongest arm. I guess it doesn't matter because the next dude hit a double.


Hogue was only in right because Soles got hurt originally


That's odd. Soles has been known during his time here to not have the strongest outfield arm. I thought soles was always going to play a dh role this year.

I mean, he's the best pitcher in the country.
Just a guy on the sunshine squad.
The Gatekeeper.
Homer Dumbarse.

Hogue has a better arm probably but Noah has really good range out there. Chase is the 3rd corner guy that probably belongs in DH slot but is playing field by necessity.

Like Alex mentioned earlier. It's a team game and the error just cost Burns the lead

That steal call was huge. And of course Luke got it done.

No doubt I'd just like to see us work counts a little more and not chase uncharacteristically. Burns is tough as hell though

Man Burns makes guys look a little silly. Some of the swings show our guys just aren't sure. The first batter of the inning just had no chance. I believe it was Slippen on Butter.

Problem with working counts is that he's been ahead all night and then that slider is basically unhittable later in the AB. I personally prefer trying to catch a fastball early in the AB. You aren't going to chase him out based on pitch count, but you might get to him if you can jump on him, basically just like we did the Duke kid earlier this year

Wake is notorious for taking care of their pitchers' arms and pull guys around 100, sometimes to a fault.

Unfortunately for us, Burns is freaking locked and will hit that after 8 full.


Just hit the thread. Does Burns come across as a real dick or just me?
He's just a hype guy. No different than Payton Wilson

It goes both ways. I don't mind hunting the fastball early but if you do that and you recognize a breaking ball don't swing. We're guessing and it's causing us to chase pitches out of the zone both early and late in counts. That's my issue

I think the problem is that the slider is so good it's not recognizable.

His velo speeds everything up and there's no doubt that makes what I'm asking for really tough and I know I'm splitting hairs but we have serious offensive talent that should be able to recognize the dot of a slider and hold back

To get a guy into scoring position for the leading run with your best hitter up. Why else?

I like the aggresiveness. Based on what we have seen we probably aren't stringing 3 hits together in an inning so you've got to do something to manufacture a run.
