I wonder how the board would react if we had this lineup everyday.
2nd Hernandez, 3rd Moncada SS Mendick, 1st Vaughn, DH Lamb, CF Goodwin, RF Garcia, LF Zavala; trying LF, C Collins.
Lmao!
I don’t think Kimbrel is comfortable in his role yet. I’m confident he will be come October but if for any reason it doesn’t work out, than we can always trade him in the offseason or at the deadline next year.
Hernandez has been a disappointment but he is an upgrade over Garcia and Mendick. Just give it time.
Now losing Madrigal is going to hurt long term but you really have to give up something to get something and Madrigal is not Dustin Pedroia.
When they are at full strength. Even though they are in a crappy division and in first place, they have played some crappy lineups against some really good teams.
They didn’t really address those concerns in the offseason. However, I still think we will play at full strength sometime this season. Just a matter of when.
We haven’t played one game this year at full strength. That’s the problem. We are playing bench guys and backups that are not used to playing regularly.
This is getting ridiculous with the resting. Your just punting away multiple games now if that’s case in this situation. If TA is hurt, than I can understand but cmon! You got to try for home field advantage.
