We got the new catcher, we got weekday day game, we got batdouchery hangover.

But, we have Ray.

Who knows....

 

[filosofy29]

I will continue to support Adames, one because I have to (contract lol) and two because he seems like a great guy. But man his at bats are tough to watch.

 

[tzill]

Bottom of the first was the most Gianty of Giant innings. Phuked by a sure triple bouncing over the wall in triples alley, Chappy K, Adames K.

The batdouchery continues.

 

[tzill]

And T3 Ray throws an absolute MEATBALL to Machado. 2-0 and we are done.

Get 'em tomorrow.

this phuking team

Fuck ya! Adames with a SF and then Dom (Wade who?) with the automatic double.

3-2 good guys

Does "support" mean playing him until his average is below .200, or does it mean giving him some time off, or something in between. By all reports he is a good guy, and a clubhouse leader, but man, you can't lead a clubhouse hitting below the Mendoza line can you?

 

[maxrandomness]

it’s a third of the season sample size
Don’t think he’ll get significantly better
Really unfortunate signing

 

[Stokes1931]

Adames now down to .199

 

[maxrandomness]

with koss optioned Schmidt and Flores are the backup infielders
Is that good enough?

This is typically not right. We can no longer expect him to have his usual season totals at the end of the year due to this large sample size. But it is entirely more/just as possible he hits like he normally does for the rest of the season like has in past seasons.

EDIT: unless something is physically wrong, like an injury or vision changes

 

[filosofy29]

lol what was Iglesias doing not sliding there? I mean I know Encarnacion can’t field, but…

You are such a front running fag lol

He should probably retire

On the radio they said he must have just assumed it was a no doubt stand up double

No
He should have stayed in Milwuakee

 

[filosofy29]

No
He should have stayed in Milwuakee

You may very well be right. But I hope your praise is as loud as your negativity if he turns it around.

:cheers:

What makes you think he will suddenly start hitting like that?

 

[maxrandomness]

You may very well be right. But I hope your praise is as loud as your negativity if he turns it around.

:cheers:

I’d love nothing better for him to turn it around
I’ll be his biggest fan
However there just isn’t any sign of this happening
He’s having some awful at bats
Maybe Burrell is messing with his approach/mechanics

 

[maxrandomness]

let’s get em out Doval!
