So um, Kole Calhoun's defense.

[jshep]

What's the deal with that?

[mancini79]

He has made more blunders than solid plays this year. He's still adjusting to the bigs.

[FireThemAll]

small sample size...I think he'll be fine long term.

Ya, I'm inclined to agree.

 

Just kind of strange how bad he's been thusfar, considering how good he was in the minors.

I would buy this if they are plays to the walls and he doesn't know the dimensions but he is muffing liners straight to him.

The ball today kicked off the lip.

In TB he made a blunder on a fly ball when running toward the corner and today's was a grounder running toward the corner. Walls are not made of chain link in the pros.

Physics works differently at the major league level than it does in the minors.

Then he should be able to make his grits in 5 minutes but I still wish he would catch the damn ball and keep it in his glove.

Alabama doesn't have any major league teams so it still takes 20 minutes.

Yesterday it was a soft liner straight to him that he gloved and dropped. Maybe he needs some rosin in the web instead of glove oil.

They will when Arte moves the team. Alabama Angels of Burmingham has a nice ring to it.

He's hit better than I thought he would and played D worse than I thought he would so it's evening out.

I agree.

Excellent use of a My Cousin VInnie reference,

So, you're saying you have a keen eye for talent!?!

I'm kidding BTW....

Probably just butterflies.

 

 

So Trumbo is better at fielding and first base, eh?

[ten ocho recon scout]

maybe he's just got mud in his tires?

[ELEVEN]

He's been out Shucking fly balls every day since he got here.

[rageous]

At this point who cares about his defense.

He is the second best bat in the team and it's not even close with Pujols out the rest of the year.
