This MF has 40 HR for the season and TEN of them have come against us!
As much as I loved Desmond I loathe him...fucking stupid player that was locked in for a few months.
I think you're overstating this young man. Really do.
Yes, he was very hot early and hit about .320 for months. Now he's come back to earth, yet is still about .285. So since the AS break my guess is he's around .255 and that ain't Gawd awful nor great. But he plays a good CF and I'd hate to think where we'd be without him quite honestly.
You want DDJ playing CF everyday?
Part of the problem is a number of his hits are infield dribblers. He just cannot seem to get good wood.I think you're overstating this young man. Really do.

And yet Banny refuses to sit him for a day or move him down in the order.Desmond is total garbage right now. It is no surprise that his RBI was an infield single. It's a miracle when he hits a ball to the OF.
His BABIP was close to .380 for the longest time. He's not been spraying the ball like he was in May and June and hasn't been since July. I know he was never as good as his high BABIP indicated, but man it's frustrating watching him flail and hit grounders like he is now.Part of the problem is a number of his hits are infield dribblers.

I want him to not hit so high in the god damn line up

Glad you mentioned a ton of other problems bc Desmond is far from troubling to me as our two Aces. Holy stars and garters! Talk about troubling. We need to see something good from them are Ian will make little difference in the post season. However I do get understand why Rev and Wasting are concerned.See.....that's a Banister problem rather than a Desmond problem. Sorta anyway.
Yes, but.......swear it seems like the dribblers go through, yet the hard hit screamers get caught, and this has been going on for awhile. I'm thinking he's due for those two trends to be reversed. Am I just being too optimistic?..........Hope not, b/c we've got a ton of problems for a team so far ahead.
One is our manager giving 3 or 4 players off at the same time every 3 days..See.....that's a Banister problem rather than a Desmond problem. Sorta anyway.

EXACTLYHey Banny no more days off till you clinch.
It's really getting on my nerves how much DeShields, Rua, Hoying, Chirinos, Alberto, Gallo, and Profar are getting to play. I realize that a few of those guys have made like 1 start each, but that's one start too many.Hey Banny no more days off till you clinch.
Will. Profar unfortunately does not look good from the bat. I think he isn't tired BB player. I guess some of the rationale for overplaying is there will not be any extended rest as our goal is HF advantage which is a ways off
AR some point the guys who will need time are the guys who make the post season roster who need the work
Nope. Unfortunately we may have to sign him, since we traded Brinson and Cordell. Sure don't want to see Delino out there.Colby will continue to get better. Just happy to see that he's healthy. Desmond needs to get back to at least above average soon. Anybody still wanna back the truck up for him?
Desmond isn't the .300 hitter we all saw in the first half. He never has been. But he's also not the .225 hitter we've seen since the AS break. He's simply regressing to the mean right now, albeit in a very fast fashion. I think he's really somewhere in between the Desmond of the first half and the Desmond we're seeing now. His career average of .265 sounds about right.Colby will continue to get better. Just happy to see that he's healthy. Desmond needs to get back to at least above average soon.

I just hope we have .265 Desmond for the playoffs and not the current version.
Nope. Not any more. Definitely Lucroy. And Moreland too. Sorry Night Crawler. Gomez would come cheaper, I would think.Colby will continue to get better. Just happy to see that he's healthy. Desmond needs to get back to at least above average soon. Anybody still wanna back the truck up for him?
