Game 1 against Pitt 3pm

[Number1CanesFan]

Runners decision, off speed in the dirt in the opposite batters box I would have gone back when I played, Vilar is just slow. I will admit the catcher made one **** of a pick and throw. Either way hopefully that does not decide the game. But our BP and defense will likely blow it.

Yes, he's slow, but you have to see the ball get away. Not just in the dirt. It's not a steal. Even a fast guy isn't going to have a jump because he wasn't stealing the base. The ball has to get away from the catcher. Especially, if your slow like Vilar..

But Gino actually brought in the normal RF there as a defensive replacement and he still screwed it up!

Because Rivera is a meat head.

Thought that was still Thomas?

I won't argue all day but it was close even with Vilar being slow, anyone of our speed guys are safe easily IMO.

Nope. It was Gabe

 

[Gooner#44]

Let's walk this **** off

 

[scane]

Nice work by Federman, and Gino actually made a good decision to create the force at third!

 

[Gooner#44]

Nope. It was Gabe

Yes, the play in the top of the 9th that let him get to 2nd was Rivera, maybe he hits a walk off to make up for it???

In what world is Rivera a defensive replacement? Do we really not have any decent outfielders on the bench?

 

[jkdood]

He who bats too low (Jenkins) is DUE! Let's show em!!

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Nope. It was Gabe

Ok Thanks. He's not a great outfielder either. Hope we start recruiting more speed and teach them to hit.

Splitting the difference without the lead I think. Hypothetically a better glove than Thomas, but a better hitter than Crosbie or Moore.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

This is unbelievable

 

[ewcanes]

Wow. You can't make this **** up.

 

[Miami04]

Good god we are ******* pathetic. Can’t even get a ******* bunt down. **** this team.

 

[ewcanes]

I think Gino's pinch hitters have worked precisely once this season.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Horrible technique by Crosby on the bunt. Bat head was too low. Your Senior has to do better than that.

 

[ewcanes]

Leadoff walk, then 3 pitches for 3 outs.

Oof.

 

[Miami04]

That’s twice this year we’ve popped up a bunt for an out. I’m not sure we’ve executed a bunt yet. Seriously. **** this.

I get bringing in Rivera to swing, but if it’s for defense only then it makes no sense. He just pinch hit Crosbie, so it’s obviously not bc he’s worried about having a couple guys left on the bench for later.
