SonofaRoache Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Let's get this division in the next few days and rest people according to how the bottom teams are doing. I'd like to split with Cleveland this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 naquin is really the only one in their lineup that has hit Lopez. Hopefully he has stuff like his last outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only guaranteed because of the morons putting the lineup together. They could DH Mazara and put Dyson or Engel in RF. You don't HAVE to keep trotting out a .160 hitter in any circumstance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Reinsdorf in RR’s ear telling him to play Mazara and EE so we can blow the division and finish in 2nd. *Sarcasm* Lmao 😂 Edited September 22, 2020 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather have EE at DH than Mazara. But aside from that, this isn't on RR. It's on the FO for not giving him a 3rd catcher. EE is a useless roster spot if he isn't the dh since he can't do anything else. Its in the FO to get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'm afraid Mazara is penciled in for the entire playoffs after that home run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hey, Mazara and EE are playing today, for a change! Madrigal should move behind Robert, to give him some protection. That would at least make Mazara be the black hole at the bottom of the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said the moronS, not moron. I think they are playing a role here, as you said. But, they can't exactly get rid of him now I suppose. If they are DH'ing him now over Engel and Dyson, they won't waive him. They had their chance to promote Vaughn. FWIW, I'm not advocating putting Mazara at DH, but if they're stuck on playing Mazara, I'd much rather him DH and stick a really good defender in RF.

Mazara's only saving attribute over Parrot is the fact that Mazara owns a glove and can play an acceptable RF (he is better than his counterpart in LF in fielding). If anything, they should DH Jimenez, and platoon the three corner outfielders. They really should have signed 1 or 2 corner outfielders, and passed on Mazara, Parrot and "Elite" Grandal, but our front office sucks except for tanking.

southsideirish71 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Wait till next week when one of the catchers is on the bench while EE is hitting 5th and Mazara is out in RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but Grandal has been pretty good overall. He could be better, but so could everyone else. He is still playing like a top tier catcher overall.

I don't care, as long as it isn't Encarnacion. He's horrific.
