Can someone explain
Fontenot’s E-5?
I missed it.
Thanks...
Was wondering what set up the inning.
He booted the ball, had time to make the throw but threw it away anyway.

I think it was a good decision
Took a perfect play to get him. Had he been safe you’d have all said it was brilliant.
It wasn't close...
RJ was out by quite a bit…..not smart baserunning at all even if he made it
disagree
Bottom on the lineup, force the defense to make the play…. just so happens they did this time.
Bobby Scales home run!
Should be 3-2, but hey, we still score!

Lets not forgot that

He just seems to be in another world all the time.
Zero sense of urgency.
"He can't hit, he can't field, he can't run—all he can do is beat you."
I don't understand
How people defend Sori’s defense. He’s not as bad as an Adam Dunn, but it can be atrocious sometimes.
If he had a rag arm
a lot fewer people would defende it.

Micah has had some good catches recently
sure, he makes them look harder than they should be, but he’s putting forth the effort, which we’re not seeing with Sori right now. Even if it wakes him up a bit, it’ll be worth it

But is it any worse than
Sorian and Fox.
Soriano does not catch the ball Micah did yesterday
Dome would be nice right now.....
Sori is having a bad game, making bad decisions. Maybe puttling out will help him a little.
Just an aside,
Colorado is beating St. Louis 4-0

But seeing him hit and field every day on this team, and knowing the obscene salary that Jimbo dumped on him, kinda annoys me now and then….

i'd wish somebody would tell him that there is such a thing called taking pitches.
He seems to swing very early in the count almost on an at bat by at bat basis.
yeah, but when he's on a tear
He hits a lot of first pitches for homeruns, and the nobody complains.
I’ve gotten used to Sori alternating between hot and cold streaks, but this is getting to be a long longggg cold streak…

with this offense
we are going to end up with 5 starting pitchers with sub 3.50 ERAs and .500 records. I mean even the worst offenses accidentally score a run here and there. I believe the drought of how many games we have gone without hitting a HR with a man on base is at 20. I have to guess we are approaching some sort of ML record
