But if a buzzkill game. Bullpen gotta throw strikes.

Didn't see the game, don't know how many pitches Shugart threw....but he has been disappointing since last year. Throws hard yes, but seems erratic and simply doesn't get outs. Of course I am inferring on his performance in this game based on a few Joey posts.

[Oldmanastro]

Damn it. Get them tomorrow. Hook Em!

[streettopeschel]

So, is a DH official tomorrow?

[joeywa]

So, is a DH official tomorrow?

I'll know shortly

[joeywa]

The game plan for tomorrow is for the team to show up thinking there will be a DH. It will somewhat depend on the weather outlook and how the front moves in. Plan on two.

[streettopeschel]

First pitch is when?

Noon pacific, 2 central

Shugart is gasoline on a fire right now

Shugart is gasoline on a fire right now

He got an earful from Pierce tonight on the bump. Probably after as well IYAM. Kid needs to figure it out soon. There are kids waiting to contribute and compete.

[TB14]

I think they need to move Shugart to some low leverage situations. Think his confidence is shaken. Get him some low pressure innings to build it back up.

His confidence is not the issue at all. He is plenty confident, overly IMO. I think that may be part of the issue. That and he seems to over throw. Trying too hard to bump his velo and it affects his ability to locate effectively. On that HBP last night on 0-2 Cantu was set up away and the pitch ran up & in. Safe to say he missed his spot.

[joeywa]

Here today for Game 3 and possibly a DH if weather holds.

So they're not going to decide on Gm 2 until after they play? Seems odd.

It's Stanford, they think they are smarter than everybody including the weather

It really is all about the weather system and how it plays out. We are ready to play 2, so let's do this! \m/
