ttitansfan4life Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) Offense struggling big time against good pitchers. Carlson and Goldy are hot garbage right now and Yadi and DeJong have no business starting. Also bullpen start #1 didn’t work out. Still don’t think Hicks will ever be a good starting pitcher. Throws way too many balls. Edited April 22, 2022 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully our pitching prospects can catch up to our hitting prospects. Also I think the "Pujols against righties" narrative needs to end, or at least slow down a bit. Look at his splits this season. He can't hit righties anymore. The last 5 years aren't a fluke small sample size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I was stubbornly in the camp that it could work because I want to see him get enough AB to get to 700, but it's real. If you want to play him against a righty, do it at home so the fans get to see him at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After opening day, I was pretty sure he could too. Maybe a soft tossing RHP, but he has no business against flamethrowing righties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's seen an uptick in velocity and the off-speed stuff has improved as well. He could very well be a top 10 prospect by the time the season ends.

StLunatic88 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Guys, this team is good. We will need one more pitcher, either Jack comes back strong or we need to go get one. And the less of Albert and Yadi we see the better. But that does mean we will need to find atleast one more Bat unless Dickerson turns it on I like what we’ve got going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwaukee is the only "playoff caliber" team we've faced. Our opponents are a combined 28-40 for the season thus far. If we're still rocking a .600+ record after the month of May, I'll be a believer.

ttitansfan4life Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 No offense Oli but he had all offseason to get the mechanics right with his swing. Him and Yadi are liabilities in the lineup. I don’t necessarily think Sosa and Knizner are stars but I do think they’re better. Yadi honestly should only be playing everytime Waino is pitching.

I agree to an extent but that’s the teams they’ve had to face so far and they’ve won every series. The Mets tomorrow is the first real test. Actually it’s probably the first team with somewhat of an offense that we’ve faced. I don’t necessarily trust the starting pitching. If they expect Hicks to be a starter… yikes. They need a higher end starting pitcher. I’m not counting Flaherty to even throw a pitch this season so if this team wants to go anywhere past the divisional round or WC round, they’d definitely need more than a trio of Waino, Mikolas, and Matz leading the way.

ttitansfan4life Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 And 9-5 definitely isn’t that impressive against the teams they’ve faced. Not sweeping the Reds today was pathetic. Bats have went cold. Still have won every series(outside of Milwaukee where the tied). Waino has looked pretty bad the past two starts and surprise surprise, they were on the road. Team has some things to like for sure but don’t see them any better than last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Embarrassing ending…. Thanks for nothing Gio. Way to ruin a great start by Mikolas. Needed that win with the bullpen game tomorrow. Edited April 26, 2022 by ttitansfan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
