[Barton Fink]

It didn't sound like Dolan.

Was it the guy that usually does the SECN+ PBP when the games are at Baum?

Wasn't Brett Dolan.

It was Kyle Schass, who occasionally fills in for Phil when he has WBB PxP duties early in the season.

Don't think we'll see much more of Rowland this season. Helfrick was the difference last night. Go ahead homer and threw that guy out trying to steal 2nd.

I think both Helfrick and White are better than Rowland, behind the plate and at the plate.

[Thin Red Swine]

I honestly didn't know Rowland is still on the team. I guess as an emergency third string catcher he's ok. 


Oh and I definitely can't commit to PBP for the whole game and that wouldn't be cool to have to drop it.

If Feral can take it, that's cool.

If you or Feral can't take it I should be able to.

I think both Helfrick and White are better than Rowland, behind the plate and at the plate.

Helfrick was admittedly struggling at the plate before last night, but he has infinitely more pop and power than Rowland. Helfrick already has as many homers (2) in 20 AB's this season as Rowland had all of last year.

Rowland struggles to put balls in play, and has a sub-Mendoza Line slugging percentage. He had only 4 extra base hits all of last year, which was worse than even Bolton, who could barely hit the ball out of the infield.

[Feral]

If Feral can take it, that's cool. 

I got you, fam.

I'll pinch hit PxP today.

[Feral]

Lettuce do this!

[Vito Porkleone]

No Rowland.  Thank you.

[Feral]

No Rowland.  Thank you.

He only catches game 2 of a series to spell White behind the plate.

That said, he likely played his way out of weekend lineups for good last night unless we catch an injury or Helfrick goes into a tailspin.

Ryder needs to catch midweek games to get more AB's and game experience.

[Thin Red Swine]

No Ryder Hero either. That's a bit surprising but maybe it's a WHP thing, or they just want him available off the bench.

[Feral]

Top 1st.

Stovall up. Strikes out swinging. 1 out.

Diggs up next. Grounds out to the second baseman, 4-3. 2 outs.

Aloha up. Pokes an oppo base hit to RF where the 2B would have been. Runner on 1st, 2 outs.

McLaughlin up. Strikes out swinging.

No runs, 1 hit, no walks, no errors.

0-0

[Barton Fink]

I'm surprised it's been Sprague - Lott at 3B and not Holt. Figured he would've gotten at least 1 start this weekend.

s-L's defense has been REALLY good though. 

[Barton Fink]

He has defended really well. I thought Holt was really good at 2B last year.

[Feral]

Bottom 1st.

Weiss up. Flies out to deep CF on the first pitch. 1 away.

Irish up. Grounds out to 2B (Stovall), 4-3 on the put out. 2 away.

Pierce up. Strikes out on a 3-2 checked swing. Sit down bitch!

No runs, no hits, no walks, no errors.

[Feral]

Top 2nd.

White up. Gets plunked on the shoulder. Runner on 1st, nobody out.

Souza up. Grounds out softly to 1B, 3 unassisted. White advances to 2nd. Runner on second, 1 out.

Sandlot up. Gets plunked. Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out.

Edmunson up. Flies out to deep CF, but Stanfield overthrows the cutoff man and loses an opportunity to get a DP on White. Still runners on 1st and 2nd, 2 out.

Wimsmeyer up. Goes down looking.

No runs, no hits, no walks, 2 HBPs, no errors.

0-0.

[Feral]

McDouble up for Barn. Walks.
