This way they give cueto an extra day of rest this week and next. They can’t pull up Gomez for 10 days anyway.

He has a good eye but his unwillingness to swing on close pitches out of the zone can come at a steep cost as it has the past two games. There is a reason they say with two strikes, swing if it is close. Ninth inning at bats should emphasize this point.

He was right that it wasn't a strike, but in baseball, that don't matter, he's still out, the sooner he deals with that reality, the sooner he can be the great hitter many of us think he can be.obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-28103742465703796632018-04-10T12:07:56.860-07:002018-04-10T12:07:56.860-07:00I was wondering that too.

I think The Athletic noted that perhaps it relates to wanting to give Cueto another day of rest in order for his tweaked ankle to recover.<br /><br />Plus, he likely would have seen starts last season if not for his injury, so one start or two, if you don't believe in him enough for two starts, why even give him one start? <br /><br />And, this way, Samardzija is not rushed to get back to the rotation. For all we know, he could have had some sort of setback, or did not progress as far forward as he hoped physically. <br /><br />Not that I'm not wondering too like you, but the above are possible reasons for the flop, and the Cueto one looks the most probable to me. obsessivegiantscompulsivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362706004246875823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-70744085108347396002018-04-10T09:53:42.979-07:002018-04-10T09:53:42.979-07:00Football had taxi-squads in the 1950s, but like yo...Football had taxi-squads in the 1950s, but like you, I had no idea baseball had them.
