Its baseball. Its hard. Adley has to swing 3-0 at times in that situation.

Something about a slick fielding LH 1B. Reminds me of the Raffy days.

Love swinging 3-0. Get em in there. Now you have to be selective but I trust Adley when it comes to being selective

 

I get the sentiment, but Sheehan has control issues, and basically came undone in his previous start at home v PIT (lasting only 3.2 IP).

He most certainly did not have to swing in that situation. 

 

ETA - first pass I didn’t realize you said “at times”. 

 

I mean, he doesn’t, but of course he will when the situation warrants it. Not sure that situation warranted it. 

 

But whatever. 3-0 O’s and Grayson looking like the cool side of the pillow. 

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I mean yes he does. If you are always taking 3-0 with a runner on 3rd youre doing it wrong.

[BaltBird 24]

Dude had thrown more balls than strikes that inning. I'm definitely taking 3-0 in that situation.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I dont care about the extra baserunner there. Assuming he actually wouldve walked him. Get a pitch to hit and take a good swing at it.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

GRods fastball/change mix will always play. Get that 3rd or 4th pitch working and hes what we all expected

I'd rather an extra base runner than a foul pop to the 3B, especially with Santander on deck.

Lol. Hindsight. Obviously a walk isnt guaranteed nor is a popout.

Mark Prior as pitching coach. Talk about a what could've been career. Arm injuries suck.

Adley didn’t get a good pitch to hit. He swung at a fastball up and in (albeit a strike) but it was crossing about 5% of the strike zone.

Did they just say 12 Dodgers pitchers on IL including 5 starters? That's insanely bad luck.

Frazier is rangeless.

Frazier is rangeless.

With a weak arm

[BaltBird 24]

Frazier ain't a great 2B. Should be an error.

Lol. Not even close to an error. Not close to routine. But its a play an avg defensive 2b makes

Went under his glove. He was in a position to make a play. But an average 2b makes it. Not an error, though.

These are the times Graydon has to dig in and not let things unravel.

[BaltBird 24]

Still having a difficult time commanding the breaking ball.
