Recipe for a collision and a L Same a Eloy Its laughable at you guys expecting them to just who up for the playoffs with no experience or rhythm with each other and expect things to go flawlessly I'm not arguing either way. The playoffs don't start tomorrow though. There's enough time to play him with Robert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar Bear Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Jose - never has an off day Moncada- never has an off day Cesar - never has an off day Don't give me an argument that he wants to rest players when he never rests players. The only players that sit are young guys. It has nothing to do with keeping the team fresh, just some stupid reason that the media and the blind eat up Edited August 9, 2021 by Moncada 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colome's Hat Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 One thing I definitely trust TLR with is handling guys down the stretch into the post-season. I think he will get the balance between keeping guys fresh and also giving them days off. Vaughn has been our MVP so far this year without a doubt, at least amongst position players. And some of that I think is definitely due to the way TLR has used him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stars are going to sit, probably frequntly. I too want Vaughn in the line-up, but you're gonna get awfully worn out from all the hand-wringing if you can't come to grips with the fact TLR is going to rest guys regularly down the stretch. Precisely. Vaughn could be a little banged up. Health is the #1 most important issue and getting the guys back from injury back up to speed. My guess is that TLR has a plan on how to get guys ready for the playoffs and he will follow it despite the outcry's of the misinformed or those who want TLR to fail while somehow the team succeeds.

Even if it was a 5 game lead, you don’t know every reason why a guy may not be playing that day. It’s just a waste of time to give a crap about the lineup at this point. They’re getting ready for October. Hey now, if you’re going to be all reasonable and whatnot, I don’t know if you are going to fit in around here.

But it shouldn't be because we have a big division lead when HFA is still in play for the AL playoffs and the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get a series win before the real tough stretch starts. At least we now have a better prepared team with more weapons to face the tougher teams than earlier in the season.

That’s all fair but Vaughn just sat out on Saturday. Don’t think this about rest, which is the concerning part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re getting ready for October. We have a chance to get home field advantage for the playoffs and should probably not overly rest one of our hottest hitters who also happens to be young & healthy. And not sure how overplaying Leury better prepares us for October. I’m not going to lose sleep over this decision, but let’s call a spade a spade. The veteran is getting a start to makeup for being on the bench last night…there is nothing more to this that is feeding some sort of greater good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
