Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I would like to see Trout like we see Harper. I think that hid is just as exiting and has better fundamentals.

Let's see where they are in October-
Bryce has been coming on strong, but needs to settle Down.
He tries for too many impossible outs.

Espinosa has been doing well. I thought he was on his way out of pro ball.
Big homer for Werth last night.
That Marlins pitcher was outstanding.
Roark kept the guys in the game.

I have been a huge fan of Rendon since they brought him in.  I love everything about that guy.  Clutch player, always seems to get a hit when you need it, and a class act who always has a smile on his face when he gets a hit like he is in little league.

The new guys they brought in are holding their own too.  I like everything about this team this year.

It will be a shame if they let LaRoche go next year when his contract is up.  Another real leader on the team.

Zimerman is someone I just have never been that impressed with.  Not like the others we have talked about.  I would rather see them keep LaRoche.

Maybe at first base Zimmerman will be more impressive.  He won't have to throw as much on that damaged shoulder.  I agree his stats are a bit better than LaRoche.  I think it is mostly a realization that his arm is never going to get better and he shouldn't be playing 3rd anymore.  First base will be a better place for him.  We need to have the rest of this discussion at Lost Rhino!

Tough day for both of these guys today.

Trout K's 4 times.

Harper doesn't run out an infield dribbler and gets yanked. Good for Williams.

Rendon makes a throwing error a la Zimmerman.

Worth let's one get by him....a pitcher hit it.

I need to see some fire from these guys.

I would rather get skunked fishing than watch that stuff.

I am good with we what we were dealt with. A guy that we saw at the dock only caught 2 dinks. A friend at church said the same for Saturday. EVERYONE said last week was on fire.

Whachagonna do?

At least for this series, we get to see both boys in action.

Yep.. Really disappointed in the defense and discipline of the team.  I still love Harper, but he has to realize that sometimes he has to swing for a base hit instead of a home run.

I have no defense for that......he is 21 yrs old.....nobody would expect it......a whim.

Luckily they won.  What a finish!!!

He was already benched once, so you know Williams isn't happy with him.  BUT,  he has so much talent, he just needs to make better decisions all around.

Harper to the minors?
He just needs to continue maturing.
He thinks like a 21yr old.

LaRoche has been a bright spot.
Nice to see him playing like his old self again

Espi.osa continues to play well
