To me Leody had some better ABs. If JPM plays I think it is for Janks

You mean he has better ABs over the course of his 1000 ABs than JPM does over his 32 ABs?

Give me JPM over Taveras.

Give me JPM over Taveras.

Agree I see JPM opening next season in the Rangers outfield Taveras somewhere else

 

[scotsman1948]

Imagine next season’s outfield Bellinger, JPM and Garcia

Give me JPM over Taveras.

I mean last night. I liked his approach
Bochy thinks he is a bit jumpy not sure why he would be over Janks though

Oh I guess you are being snarky. Ok thanks

I just think JPM has given them a lot more spark lately than Taveras has. He brings excitement. He is going to go a game or two without a hit at times, but everyone does. They need a spark on offense, and JPM is more likely to provide that.

Leody has been here since 2020 and has a 1001 at bats. How much longer you going to give him to figure it out.

 

[Kelleyman]

I just think tonight Leody should be in the lineup tonight
Not saying he is our CF of the future. Doubt if JPM is as well but happy to have him start as well with Leody and let Janks sit although think Janks is the best defensively of the 3

Y’all let certain guys become your personal whipping boys. It comes across like you root against them to prove you right. Sad thing IMO.
What a stupid pile on
lol lol

I like that excitement too but just a hunch Leody is going to give us some good abs for a change.
Could be wrong but hope not

 

[Kelleyman]

Last thing. If the board says wow I wish JPM would get a start. I get that
His run from 2nd running through a jaw dropped Beas was awesome but you guys moan if Leody starting Bad look IMO

 

[DT LUNA]

Leody avg .259
Garcia avg .253
Not what we need in clean-up

 

[DT LUNA]

RISP bug bites again.

 

[DT LUNA]

Pressure on the offense once again. Top of the order coming up so we will see.

 

[DT LUNA]

Going to be a BP kind of night.

 

[Senator_fan]

Bonehead fielding play by Gray. Cost a run. He should stop nibbling on the corners and challenge people. 97 mph fastball and at least 2 other pitches. He’s not Will Smith.

 

[Senator_fan]

RISP bug bites again.

And again.

 

[DT LUNA]

Hope to change my mind but I have lost confidence in Garcia in the 4 hole.

Logically, if wanting JPM to start in place of Leody is making Leody our whipping boy, then to want Leody to start over JPM is making JPM your whipping boy.

I can promise you, I have never once wanted Leody to make an out. Not once.
