The fact that framing pitches is a concern is a huge indictment of home plate umpires.

We have close to four Mendosa's in tonight's line up. Hard to win like that and hard on pitching to succeed.

 

[saddles]

I hope he gets very irritated then.

I get that Also get being 25th in overall defense is not a good place to be ranked

We just aren't that good of a team. We have a lot of changes coming in the next 3 years or so. Hopefully, those changes will include better overall players and defense will improve

I think you guys are ridiculous to be kicking Guzman in the pants. As of now he has about 1 year of MLB experience and in that time 21 HRs. Gallo did not do what he is doing now overnight and how many of us were kicking him to the curb. Big mistake if we are not patient with Guzman while we are in the middle of a rebuild to see what he can do by the end of NEXT season.

Yes, it is too early to give up on him or IKF. I expect we will eventually get better at each position at some point, but each of them could turn out to be very respectable players.

I’ll grant you Guzman, but Odor and Mazara need to be teetering on the edge.

Hope this game will be exciting because I'm very tired and Gun Smoke is always good.

Guzman's defense buys him plenty of time.

I don't want to give up on anyone who's just 24 like Odor, IKF and Maz all are. And it's not like they're standing in the way of anyone. Frankly, I don't think we have much else to do but give them playing time and be patient since no reserves are coming to the rescue over the next 18+ months.

Anyone know why Emily is not traveling with the team?

Odor I can understand completely and Maz we can keep an eye on until the OF gets really crowded. It is crowded now but two of those OFers are Choo and Pence and their stay will not be long term.

I think that is a reasonable way to look at it.

Hang in there, buddy. I got an episode of Hogan’s Heroes just ready to be played myself if this goes South.

Thompson got hurt early on. JPM struggled mightily, but he has started to come out of it.

JPM better hurry and come along. We spent 2 mil on him and I believe he’s already 24.
