Conforto has NEVER played a professional game of baseball at 3B, and has played exactly 1 game at 3B in college.

WTF?!?!?!?!?

Next game he'll probably put Stripper there.

Kapler was quoted, "Yeah, it's a good way to keep his arm loose between relief appearances."

I think it's time to check Kapler for any mob ties.

 

[tzill]

didn't catch that. gotta be a misprint with Forto in RF and Davis at 3B

 

[tzill]

on another note:

It's still pretty early in his MLB career, but it's hard not to get excited about what David Villar is doing: Offensive Numbers
127 wRC+
10.4% BB rate
.237 ISO
11.5% barrel rate

Defensive numbers (at 3B)
+3 DRS
+1.2 UZR
+2 OAA

Just an all around solid player so far. He might have to move off of 3B eventually with Casey Schmitt looming, but he has done everything to prove that he is a legit MLB player as well. Schmitt may be taking over for Stamos as well, so maybe VR stays at 3B...

VR has been consistently impressive in all phases of the game. Nice upside surprise.

Kapler's still probably thinking of using Stripper at 3B.

Darin Ruf

So that Joc Pederson is no longer the worst defensive player on the team.

Any word on why Conforto was taken out?

Because together...we're Giant

 

[tzill]

Cobb unimpressive; Alexander serving up meatballs.

No fun.

 

[Stokes1931]

Why do the Giants continue to pitch to Muncy? The only role he seems to have on the Dodgers is to torment the Giants by hitting bombs against them. He has only 8 hits so far in 2023, and 4 of them are against the Giants. He has four homers, three against the Giants. Stop pitching to this guy.

 

[msgkings322]

Yuck. Dudes....

 

[msgkings322]

Dang 15 pitch AB, epic moment, but not in our favor...

 

[msgkings322]

But OMG Rogers...wooof

 

[Hangman]

I wonder if we suck this bad all season if we have a chance for the first overall selection in the draft
