I agree the time for an outside change was a few weeks ago, but I don’t see how you can possibly rock this version of Mazara out in RF come the playoffs. Engel’s glove alone is providing more value than Nomar in his current state. Is Leury’s season completely over or is there a chance he could be ready come the playoffs, because that might actually be an option.

Cause exposing a rookie coming off a poor AA season and who is not a high end talent to an intense pennant race doesn’t seem like a better idea then just adding a plus defender in Engel.

Come game 1 of the playoffs, until then you got to hope it clicks at some point. We literally don’t have another option.

Dyson would literally be the worst hitter in baseball if given the opportunity, at least there is theoretical upside with Mazara. And if you make a change you just go with Engel in RF.

Dyson >> Mazara (Mostly joking)

It’s pretty wild how a good chunk of this board was upset about the Mazara acquisition because he was a platoon bat who only was slightly above league average against RHP, while right now we’d all be fucking ecstatic see that guy show up.

Ball four base hit

Come on Pito, need one here

Yup

I don’t think so, but Tim ain’t taking any chances

Big Dick Nick!!

Dreaded leadoff walk...make em Robert!

I was there too...amazing experience.

Which is my biggest beef with how Coop has handled these young guys like him Lopez as they’ll never learn how to command the curve if they refuse to throw it.

Yup

So fucking nasty and he never uses it. I wonder if he connected with his HS pitching coach over the weekend as Coop would never recommend throwing such a pitch.

Excellent article and thanks for sharing! This is exactly why Cease can’t be our #3 starter come October unless he shows vast improvement down the stretch.

We need they went hard after him before and may of had the best offer, but does he have the arm for RF?

Gotcha. And look, I’m not convinced he’s coming back this year, but by adding Stiever to the 40 man roster we could theoretically have to cut someone beyond just McRae. And as we saw with Herrera, the willingness to cut bait on guys in their final year of their deal is there. I’d say that Cishek’s tenure with the team is on very thin ice at the moment.

If he’s healthy, I’d certainly roll the dice on Carlos than Cishek, Flores, & McRae.

Yup, don’t get why Rick sits Nick so often

Why can’t Rodon come back this year?

His arm may be ready, but he could be rusty and he’ll also be on an innings limit. Why not get him some seasoning at AAA and buy us an extra year of team control?

I’m saying once Rodon & Bummer come back we’ll need to clear two 40 man spots and that Cishek might get the axe at that time.

Nick Madrigal is batting .362 with an expected batting average of .356 according to Statcast despite striking out 8.3% of the time (which is high for him). Think about that for a minute.
