One of those kind of days

When a .220 hitter goes 4-4 with 4 RBI’s and his first homer and Greene with an ERA at 4.5 pitches 1 hit ball.

The team needs to hit the batting cage.

Good.

Too little too late for the offense. That ninth inning offense needs to show up a whole lot more often. We have had multiple starting pitching injuries. We have had a couple of hiccups with the pen. The biggest problem though, had been our offense. Where would this team be without Josh Smith and the pitching?

Wonder if they send Davis has pulled ahead of Zeke. Maybe bring Crim up at some point and and Zeke down for everday ABs

What?

Unless they bench Taveras none of what they do with Duran, Wendzel and Crim matters. If Taveras isn't benched until Jung gets back, then it won't matter at all.

Amen. This offense is the pits and tough to watch.

Crim hasn't done well overall at AAA. I would like Davis at DH, Smith 3b and Langford in the OF along with Carter and Garcia.

It looks like Wilson Santos will be the minor league pitcher of the month and 1B/RF Josh Hatcher will be the minor league player of the month. Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa is most likely the minor league relief pitcher of the month.

Crim has done great overall at AAA. He just hasn't done well in April of 2024.

Even with Crim's bad month, his 2024 OPS is almost exactly the same as Wendzel's overall AAA OPS.

Davis is a much more versatile fielder than Crim, but Crim is a true 1B and would be our only bench player to fit that description.

My bad on using the term "overall." I was just speaking of now. I was trying to move Leody out by putting Wendzel in. Davis does play multiple IF positions and Smith has played IF and OF positions. Crim does limit us as he really has been used just at 1B but has been a much better hitter "overall" that Davis. Crim would get very little playing time but could get time at DH. But when Jung comes back then that becomes an issue.

I am tbinking of a balanced bench with door starts. Davis is more versatile than Crim
But if Zeke goes to AAA then Crim is RHB who can give Lowe a break

If Zeke can figure out how to hit the breaking stuff then maybe he is a good fillin fit extended in case of injury

Hopefully Traveras goes down before any decisions are made before Jung comes back.

We just have to be okay with Crim getting very little playing time.

Zeke benched so Kizner gets DH spot today.
He has to go to AAA if they won’t play him today
