My thoughts are that Palmer is bored anymore...LOL!  If you've been doing this for 20+ years and been in baseball for 60 years, you'd be bored of the pitcher mechancics as well..."just pitch better"...LOL!

 

I agree though, Ben is awesome!  I still love Palmer for different reasons than I love Ben.

 

Yeap

Stowers looking.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Hays grounds out. 2 out.

[jamesdean]

Yet another called strike on a pitch outside. Stowers had to bite his lip.

[BSLChrisStoner]

And Henderson looking to end the O's 3rd.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Im so over Henderson right now. Swing the freaking bat

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Like Im fine with watching borderline pitches with no runners on or even if a guy on but with no outs. Swing the damn bat and give yourself a chance to get the run in vs going down looking on strikes with 2 out

LOL. Frazier HR. He’s going to be starting all year.

[Hooded Viper]

That Adam Frazier signing sucked!

LOL. Frazier HR. He’s going to be starting all year.

I guess I'm in the minority but I don't have a problem with Frazier on the team. Most of the teams that have gone deep in the post season had one or two veteran gamers like Frazier. I think he brings something to the team and we're going to appreciate his presence in the clubhouse

I’m fine with Frazier here but he shouldn’t be blocking anyone.

He came in here with crazy expectations and is clearly overthinking every at bat and it’s affecting his defense too. I can’t even imagine being 21 years old and expected to be the rookie of the year in the majors. He will be fine.

My guess is he will struggle for most of the season and then kick ass next year! Bucks have already sent down their Uber prospect.

Matched his HR # from last year!

 

If he can be like a 100 OPS+ guy and get his d back on track he'd probably be decently valuable, like 2-3 WAR. Probably approaching 90 now. I still rather see what the kids can do and my beef with him is the opportunity cost of using money at the spot of greatest AAA/MLB depth, but he could be fine.

Henderson just needs to have game where he gets a couple of bloop hits, goes 3-4 with a walk and relaxes a little.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Two double game from Mount. Oppo job. Thought it was gone off the bat.

[jamesdean]

Good job by Stowers to move the runner to third.

Hit well but also probably should have been caught.

[jamesdean]

That's how you manufacture a run. Excellent.

Yeah I think he will get it together at some point and be a good ballplayer. Its not now nor do I think hes that close right now

The way Mountcastle was lollygagging out of the box, he probably thought it was gone too.
