I hope Beth stays in the lineup and can be a huge staple moving forward for years to come! I know that could be a lot to ask, but I hope he's really solid.

Also, I forgot Julio is pitching, so I hope he absolutely kills it!

So Fredi thinks Bethancourt is good enough to bat 5th whenever he's in the lineup. (think opening day too?) Was he confused when someone in the organization said he was a good defensive catcher?

That 4-8....

 

[Chico]

Hopefully CB stays hot!

That 4-8....

That 1-8...

That 1-8...

John Hart's version of Major League. Except we can't really enjoy it like Indians fans did as we don't have an announcer like Ueker to keep us entertained at least.

Expecting a huge game from Bethancourt.

Bourn or Perez (before being optioned) catch that foul ball to left from Blackmon??

Theres no doubt. Please Lord, don't let Gomes be on this roster next season

I wouldn't mind him being there (solely based on leadership) if he was at least producing against lefties (which he's not really doing) at a nice clip.

If we plan on keeping swisher, Bourn, and AJ, we should have plenty of veterans.

I hate trying to steal with FF batting. FF is probably the only guy we have that can consistently drive someone in from first

You were saying?

 

[msstate7]

Like I was saying... Glad Gomes got a start haha

Fredi 1

Guess we need to talk about every guy.. or at least Gomes when he's playing haha

 

[50PoundHead]

Gomes veteran-leadershipped that one right out of the park.

Yep haha

What is it with our pitchers and shutdown innings? It's rather pathetic.
