Of the 3 if Smith could hit he’d get more playing timeI don't think Bochy believes Huff should be on the team. Somehow Huff, Burke and Smith have all become almost invisible at times with Bochy.

You mean like how he hit in May? I believe after that, his only three starts came with 7 games and 9 games between them. He went 0 for 9 in that stretch. That is the only bad stretch he had since his poor start in April. I imagine going 0 for 9 is not that uncommon, especially in those circumstances.Of the 3 if Smith could hit he’d get more playing time
Also, the only guy on the team that Smith deserves to start instead of is Grossman. Well, Miller as well when he comes back.Of the 3 if Smith could hit he’d get more playing time
Fair to middling lolDane's now started ten games, pitched sixty innings with an ERA of 3.00, a 1.18 WHIP and opponent batting average of .247.
Didn’t say anything about Grossman or Miller but Smith looks overwhelmed at the plate. His play in the field is above average but over the whole season he is at Mendoza line. That’s why he was hit for on Tuesday during the rally in 6th inning.Also, the only guy on the team that Smith deserves to start instead of is Grossman. Well, Miller as well when he comes back.
Not saying Smith is the answer but if he took all Grossmans ABs., my guess there would be improvement with the resultsAlso, the only guy on the team that Smith deserves to start instead of is Grossman. Well, Miller as well when he comes back.
Possibly but Smith would still probably only play 2 or 3 times a week. A Normal week would see Semien, Seager, Lowe, Garcia, Jung, Heim, Duran and Taveras playing virtually every game at 2B, SS, 1B, RF, 3B, C, LF/DH and CF respectfully. That leaves LF or DH depending on where Duran playsNot saying Smith is the answer but if he took all Grossmans ABs., my guess there would be improvement with the results
Should be happy. Seager and Heim get the day off, Jankowski in LF hits 2nd and Smith at SS hits 9th.
Semien. 2b
Jankowski LF
Lowe. 1B
Garcia. RF
Jung. 3B
Taveras. CF
Duran. DH
Garver. C
Smith. SS
Works for me. Get rid of Grossman & Miller and bring in some decent bench players but even then Duran will probably split playing equal time at LF and DH and jankowski will probably be exactly what you indicate OF defensive replacement.Wouldn't hate
C- Heim/Huff
1B- Lowe/Huff
2B- Semien/Smith
3B- Jung/Smith
SS- Seager/Smith
LF- Duran/Jankowski
CF- Tavares/Jankowski
RF- Garcia/Jankowski
DH- Garver (emergency catcher), though use it to rotate rest days, and give Heim a 1/2 day
I wouldn't hate giving everyone a day off every week or 2
On mlb network they’re showing Dunning as #4 in the AL in ERA
Okay
