In June it has been a lot closer to 2 or 3 times a month. Lol
And I think he should play like 2+ times a week but I just don’t see how it can happen. 8 spots are a virtual lock with Siemens, Seager, Lowe, Garcia, Jung, Heim, Duran & Tavares. That leaves LF and personally I think Duran will play LF 3 or 4 times a week and DH the rest that leaves 3 or 4 times to split between Jankowski and Smith

I don't dislike any of them. Their talent level isn't a personal affront to me in the least. I would like to see the best lineups on the whole being used as it would lead to more wins. I do dislike losing for any reason, just like any other fan.
I don’t dislike any of them either. If we could find a good player off the bench I would gladly say goodbye to Grossman and Miller

Yeah, he is not going to get too many starts on this team right now, but it should probably be more often than it has been this month.

I think they will try to trade for a LF in 3 or 4 weeks. I think we will trade for:

2 or 3 relievers
1 hitter
1 starting pitcher

No argument. Like you said tough to get starts on this team

I would work 1st and 3rd choices first and then look for that outfielder. If we did all of those Smith and Jankowski would really struggle to get playing time

Not bad for a guy who languished in the pen for two weeks for no reason.
Definitely. He looks at least serviceable as a starting pitcher. The type of guy you like having ready in a pinch as depth.

Think he should get at least another two starts to see how good he can be as a starter given Heaney's recent struggles.

49 wins at the halfway point. Who would have thunk it?
Definitely doesn't see this coming. I thought they'd be a borderline wild card contender if the team stayed healthy, but now they're a legitimate WS contender - albeit with some obvious flaws that need to be addressed at the trade deadline.

Recently it’s happened to often to the rangers. Getting shutout 1-0 twice in a few weeks getting outhit by some of the worst hitting teams in baseball
He’s right. we pretty much punted the last game of the St. Louis series, and 2 games of the tigers series. Didn’t give our all out competitive effort in any of those games and of course we lost. With the A team, we probably win all 3 or at least 2.

not a fan of Bochy punting easy games to rest up for the good teams. What if the good teams beat you? All games count the same in the standings.

We should have punted a few games and not burned out Ohando in 2011

That happened we punted on those games and then we struggled against good teams which is why we’re hovering around .500 for June

Call it what you want to. Failure to execute w/RISP has been our problem.
