[SoulfishHawk]

3 OF 4, get it done. Kirby, Woo and Castillo, noice.

 

[sutz]

It's early in the season yet, but this series could be a tone setter for the summer.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Very important, for several reasons.

 

[Ruminator]

Almost time for Kirby-birby!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

LFG! I hate the ASStros even more than the Niners. Yes, that much.

 

[Azvacar]

No Julio for the first game of a big early season series? interesting... don't hate it though. That man needs to get his head right

Also.. already six strikeouts... wooof

 

[stack55]

That first pitcher the stroh’s played, can’t spell his name,
Had the nastiest shit I’ve seen all year.

 

[stack55]

Altuve…..damn

 

[Azvacar]

I mean Kirby got BLASTED his last rehab start in AAA.... I was not excited about this start against actual hitters :|

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Solano is garbage.

So many stranded runners tonight.

 

[stack55]

Mariners getting spanked. Let’s win the next 3.

 

[Chapow]

Pretty sure the opposing team is laughing their asses off every time Wilson pinch hits Solano for Tellez. I know I am.

FYI, Solano is hitting under .100 with an OBP of under .100 against lefties.

STOP TAKING TELLEZ OUT AND PUTTING SOLANO IN AGAINST LEFTIES (or at all for that matter)! What in the actual f@ck? Tellez isn't doing any worse, and he may well do better if you give him a chance. This is some retarded ass maddening ridiculous bullshit.

Someone in that dugout needs to wake TF up.

 

[sutz]

Not a good start to the series. Is Kirby really ready? He's throwing a lot of hittable balls. Was hoping to get at least 5 out of him. Oh well.

Maybe tomorrow.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Meh. Get em tomorrow.

He's been hot. Just stop.
He tweaked something in BP.

When your "ace" coming back after getting rocked in all his rehab starts gives up runner after runner.. who really cares at that point?

That was your take away.. the pinch hitting when down by a boatload because of a pitcher who clearly isn't ready and hasn't shown to be ready in all of rehab?

 

[Azvacar]

He's been... hot? What?!?!?! I like your takes dude.. but this is .. left field.. foul line in the stands level.

His production has been two homeruns in the last week... basically... that is not "hot"

We have different standards ... 6 for 25... at least he isnt striking out.. but he isnt walking either.. nothing but easy pop ups and fielder choice hits.

We are watching the same team every day right? (I will say I do have the the freedom to watch them on gametime start so lucky there)

 

[Crizilla]

It's over. See ya next year

It's obviously not just about this one time or this one game. Wilson has been doing it almost every time the other team puts in a lefty all season. I'm just super sick of seeing it because it's idiotic AF at this point.

Let me reiterate, Solano is hitting under .100 and his OBP is also under .100 against lefties.

Just because you think it wouldn't have made a difference in this one particular game doesn't mean it's not a bad move or that it doesn't need to stop.

Do you want to continue to see Wilson making this move game after game regardless of the situation?
