The bad news....Burger cant field. The good news he can mash and moncada is almost back...so its a good problem to have.
-
This 2 week stretch defines their season. I know they have injuries...but without some positive results (especially bullpen/fielding), I just don't see them getting out of a funk hole they have dug themselves in since Tony.
-
Guess Grifol finally made a right move we cant second guess...😄
-
They did a thing!
-
Bulls and Sox blowing it on same night. Why do I do this to myself!

Lance Lynn had his surgery on November 10, 2015. He next pitched in a big league game on April 6, 2017 - nearly 17 months later.
Mid May would have Crochet pitching in the big leagues 13 months after his surgery.
Every athlete is different. I hate comparing other pitchers especially. Is lynn 6'6" with a 100mph heater and a 1 inning reliever?

Above all they just need to be healthy, consistent and productive, which hasn't happened...but our GM will spin this.
Unfortunately Hahn will hang on to "the team we have is on the field" and disappoint once again.
But here is what the offseason needs would be if they had a decent GM:
Most pressing:
Starting Catcher - MUST be pitch frame excellent based to get most out of what could be a very different staff.
Starting Pitchers - 3 potentially needed - Giolito is gone. they have to address that with a #3 starter at worst. Clevenger very well may walk. Lynn could be traded or declined on club option since it will be his 37 year old season.2nd baseman - I am not confident Romy is the answer. Sosa should get every chance to show his worth, but enough is enough, sign someone if both of them fail in 2023.
And that is it. Obviously they will need to address the bullpen some, but the core is set for 2024 (before it either get's absolutely nuked or Jerry Dies) -

Madrigal having a pretty nice start to his year. I didn't really like the kid but it sure would have been nice to turn that asset into something better than AJ Pollock for a year.
1 RBI and 5/15 - all slappy singles. I am good without him.

Still backup players who are not always consistent enough to start, See my point?
but optimizing what you have is what makes a good manager. this is the 3rd game in the last week that was more about getting people rest than trying to win.

Who would you start with your three top players on the IL?
Easy.
LF - Beni
CF - Robert
1B - Vaughn
DH- Grandal
3B - Burger
RF - Colas
2B - Sosa
C - Zavala
SS - Andrus
This is a really needed win vs the division rival in first place. You do Not put sheets in RF (he could swap for Grandal at DH) and you don't put Alberto at 3B (why is burger even up if he won't start for yoan?)
-
I was giving Grifol a chance. that is GONE now. his lineups suck.
-
Elvis and romy is a big problem. This bottom of lineup is putrid.
-
Good thing they won yesterday...because the rest of this series...you know where it's headed...
-
this lineup is gonna be crap without TA. Beni should leadoff honestly.
-
Andrus HAS to hit. if not, this next month with Eloy out is BAD.
-
Huge win
-
Demolished that
-
Joe Kelly was a luxury signing that was an overpay at the time...and now, along with Leury's release IS THE reason they couldn't sign a real starter or 2nd baseman star. Just threw money away here.

Still he is looking better than Giolito and Lynn.
Yeah, hilarious in a game where only 1 hit in four innings and a ton of routine pop ups and flyouts is "crushed"

Kopech looks sharp. 96 on the heater and slider has good movement. He clearly was tipping first start

That last pitch was called "sweeper" on the statcast. How does that differ from a slider?
I have noticed almost a dozen pitchers this year with a "sweeper"

I know the pitching is bad....but this offense is elite right now
