As soon as Jackson lost Shuemman on the walk I could see he lost focus and accordingly bad things happened, not counting the flub by Taveras.

I don’t know about you but I just don’t feel good about Jackson being the long term closer.

He really got robbed of a win.
Just didn’t feel good about the 9th. Don’t want to really blame it all on Jackson. It’s just this teams inability to open up games in big situations especially on the road. For example Garcia had the bases loaded in the 4th and grounds out.
I got over the loss last night but this one is tough to swallow

A lot of missed opportunities. Pederson has been a huge hole in the lineup wherever he bats. Average wise you have Smith and Langford and then it falls off the table with nobody else batting more than .258 in tonight’s lineup.

Of the three of them, Duran has the best chance to get a hit. If you don’t get regular at bats you’re not going have many hits.
that's why they sent him down to AAA they knew they weren't going to sit Semien, Seager, Jung, Smith, Langford or Garcia. or Barger & Pederson for more than a day or so. so there's no way Duran is going to get regular at-bats unless 2 or 3 of the above go down for 10-15 days

Of the three which would you want on the team? I know Ideally it would be better to have someone better than all of those three. For now, we are stuck with one of them. Are you picking Ornelaa, Ahmed or Duran?

Usually UIF's are required to fill in and play good defense not offense. Pick your choice. I like Duran of the three.

Yeah, but I see a lot of folks getting upset when the utility guy goes in and doesn't hit. Lol

I would agree that Duran is the best choice of the three.

I wouldn’t say he would hit. But. He has a better chance than the other two. He also plays more positions and has a better arm.
