    Oh nvm they decided to pitch to quite literally the worst batter in all of baseball. Good strategy.

    i'd rather have any poster in this forum batting than kratz.

    it's a complete embarrassment that he's still on the team.

    This might not be good

    Wow. When a team chooses to walk GOMEZ to pitch to you. Was Keuchal available to hit?
    Yea I know. No one to catch.

    Well, at least Kratz won't lead off the bottom half of the next inning. Silver linings & stuff.

    easiest roster move to make when Castro is back. Bye bye Kratz, finally

    Pitchers. That's the downside of a 13-man staff.

    I find it hard to believe there are 5 players who swing and miss more often than Kratz.

    It's entirely possible our broken bats are hitting for a higher average than our non broken bats.

    This is why I don't like throwing Feldman for just one inning. You don't use your long reliever for one inning.

    What is "this"? Nothing has happened yet, and there are still RPs in the pen.

    If Feldman came out for a 2nd inning and gave up a run, I'm sure the forum would have crushed Hinch for sending someone back out who just gave up 2 hits in an inning.

    All is fine so far
