And the dreaded platoons again......

I go back to the fastball he swung under against Gavin Williams. It’s just not going to work at this level.

Dude was at the yard sale in the alley, and bought himself a fake antique along with his bargains.

I agree with that. And as someone who wanted to at least see what Castillo could do, I think the trade is a failure. Doyle was a failure as well. With that stated, Southsider has a point. I don’t think Getz was being overly aggressive. I think he made a lot of calls and thought he was shopping at Aldi, but found himself in the aisles of Shop N Save

Stop. Fucking. Over. Managing. Maybe the team is playing tight because will over managed every single moment.

Jake Rogers revenge game

Just tell him Joc's team is right on our tail. That'll motivate him.

Pinch hit for Acuna maybe, and then play him at 2B

More specific, please. This could mean anything from hitting a grand slam to ending an inning by hitting into a triple play.

Tommy Pham batting 2nd is hilarious in a really really sad way.

Pham now hitting 2nd, what? lol

GMs cannot approach their job with the assumption that there will be no season next year.

Yeah they for sure needed another outfielder but luckily Pham is going to treat these last 10 games like a fantasy football league competition and beat the hell out of it.

The hands dropping too low is probably forcing him to have the higher swing tilt.

I get not having a replacement for Mune or Colson, but they always needed another righty hitting corner outfielder and a better platoon partner for Teel.

You have to put your best players out there splits be damned, don’t you? edit…to me that’s Mune, Sam, Meidroth and Vargas on the infield. Grichick, Doyle and Peters in the OF. DH whoever you want with Teel catching. This is assuming Colson can’t go.

I didn't post the pitch values pre/post slump, but he was hitting the fastball well before the injury and is now hitting nothing well. breaking pitches were always one of his weaknesses.

And you are not alone.

And didn’t think 3 of them would fall off an absolute cliff.

neither one really needs to platoon at the moment. Plus, both their OPS against lefties is better than Acuna. But they may not want to sacrifice defense for Sam to play 2B and Chase at SS

And Teel

I should probably look at the heat maps by pitch type to see how they're throwing him pitches differently.

Framber is a baby b**** and needs to be treated as such.

I dunno man, hard to expect you'd need to replace 2/3rds of your lineup at the deadline when you didn't expect this team to even be competitive.
