Miggy is a wasted roster spot. Base loaded he swings at the first pitch with 2 outs .

 

[biggunsbob]

Another error by Baez. Bad strech by Spencer then they score off a double. Then a single Trail 2-0. Frustrating. Rodriguez Falling back to his normal self.2nd time though the order he is fooling no one.

Miggy is a wasted roster spot. Base loaded he swings at the first pitch with 2 outs .

Might as well pull Rodriguez and dump the game.

Not what I said. I said miggy is a wasted roster spot.

 

[lonesometiger]

Miggy is a wasted roster spot. Base loaded he swings at the first pitch with 2 outs .

he is terrible.

 

[biggunsbob]

Rogers had no chance ro get that guy stealing. Big jump , and single gets the run back.

 

[lonesometiger]

Not what I said. I said miggy is a wasted roster spot.

should not play mig with your best pitchers!

 

[biggunsbob]

he is terrible.

It?s so sad to watch and listen to but that at bat the Kc starting pitcher who was dealing had just walked the bases loaded. His only real stressful inning ul to that point. I?d prefer him take a pitch. Maybe we get a wild pitch.

 

[biggunsbob]

should not play mig with your best pitchers!

sadly right now he can?t play in any game. He should be given his money and make him a coach or something.
