Might as well give him a shot as the backup SS/2B/DH. Not like Acuna or Murray are roster locks.

If he's not hitting by like mid May I think they have to cut him.

Losing Baldwin, Hays and Teel hurts. Maybe Pereira too? I'd at least be more hopeful trying him out there than some of these stiffs. I'm not too concerned about the roster chaff they have though. I doubt most of them will still be here once they get Hays, Teel (and maybe Pereira) back. Antonacci and Bergolla will very likely be up this year too.

This is the one reason I want McGuire on the team

He made really weak contact on every pitch in that at-bat, and it's not like the pitcher was acing him on tough pitches.

I'm hopeful they can salvage something decent out of him, even a utility guy, but it is not looking good right now. He's a long swing slap hitter with poor outer half coverage and a not great eye.

That is a LONG swing

I'll be really surprised if they overturn that stolen base.

They should've also been able to put more up on Bradish because he looked like crap, but I guess I can't be too upset with 3 runs in 5 innings.

Leads are fleeting

God Benintendi blows

LOL Bradish

Colson clearly not looking fastball there.

Welp

Quero diving across the plate on a low fastball down the middle.

Damn thought Lenyn had that one. Ball is not carrying in this weather.

Newcomb doesn't have much control today either.

Living on the edge in this one!

Oh ok. Couldn't tell who's at third. Looks like it's Murray. My bad!

Yea I'm not buying the improved defense from Vargas.

0 runs off the guy with a 6 ERA, 2 runs off the guy with a 1-something ERA on bloops, and Benintendi swinging at a pitch that hit his back shoulder. Baseball!

I feel like that was about the only way we were gonna score off Rogers

I don't think I've ever seen a guy swing at a pitch and get hit by it in the back shoulder.

This is what they've been doing a lot since they took a tumble in the standings last year. They're way too aggressive.

Quero is bad at challenges
