Robert has been struggling in the 2 so they moved him to 7 and he had 2 hits. Now you want to move him to the 3. That makes no sense.

Too bad such a great event for him happened under restricted attendance. Hopefully he has some family/friends at the game

Agree. Their offense is on fire but their pitching is suspect. Hopefully we dent that wall all weekend

Agree. Boston has won 9 straight with a lot of questions on their pitching staff so I figure we will end that at least but it would be great to sweep them.

Hopefully it starts in Boston.

You are getting carried away. He started every game but one. Lamb only had 2 AB so far and he was another LH option. Not sure it was really crazy. But I understand that when a player is this hot, you want to keep putting him in there especially since he does not need a break playing the field. Regardless of starter, I thought Vaughn should have started because he seems to have played sparingly the last week. TLR must still put high emphasis on left vs right against a RH starter which is not true w the stat geeks.

Why not win it in 9th?

Kopech and Crochet get a decent amount of publicity on this site , as well they should. But Heuer has been a 3rd strong option in that pen as well.

From a bullpen standpoint, the good news is Kopech & Crochet have been pretty dominating. They have been mostly pitching in 6-7th but they may need to move back some . Today w Hendriks failure, Crochet did get the late call. But one of them may fill in as be a closer for a while until Hendriks rights the ship.

Maybe the stat guru in the FO knew Leury is hitting over .300 this year when leading off and Madrigal .000..........................................

Mercedes was new and he got a start and how has that worked so far?

LaRussa also said he wants to get everyone in a game this week. After breaking camp with a few days off, it makes sense everyone gets into a game especially w it being a legit spot. Role players like Vaughn and Collins need to produce so it is hard to get them out of the lineup, regardless of who the opposing pitcher is.

Where is the pitching coach???? Fire him now. What the heck is Duncan doing? Analytics coordinator!!! Give me a break. Fire him and get his father back. In fairness this was an afternoon start so Tony missed his siesta nap ( or he took it during the 6th). Foster would look good in Charlotte blue.

Which is a smart thing to do. Mercedes is going to take AB's away from Vaughn and even some from Collins while he is tearing the cover off.

Hopefully we are saying this after at least 4-5 starts. But I think many ML teams are going into the season hoping their 4/5 are productive. Maybe 4-5 won't be a good measure especially if April is a cold, lousy weather month in the north half of the league

Agree. All 90 MiLB clubs across Double-A, High-A and Low-A are scheduled to launch their 2021 campaigns on Tuesday, May 4. The Triple-A regular season will total 142 games, while Double-A, High-A and Low-A leagues will include 120 regular season contests.

The 2021 minor league season ends on 9/21. However the AAA season starts a month late so the AAA teams will only play 142 games

Jerry sells the team to Mark Cuban and he moves the team to Havana................................

Colliding w Vaughn or Eloy???

An inexperienced outfielder could also be a hazard to Mocada, Anderson and Robert on fly balls in the gaps between them.

Who would be considered our best AAA/AA outfield prospect? Any options there?

I didn't realize he never played any OF in College. Boy, this will be interesting.

But there is also the players around him at SS-3B-CF. They are 3 very valuable players. Maybe we can get Eloy an "invisible fence"

He was in line at Walmart earlier buying a new glove.

Dick: I am not sure 40 games in 2 years is a good enough sample especially for a catcher. It took Tyler Flowers 5 years in the majors and until age 28 before he produced . Now maybe the Front Office has enough data or imput from the pitching staff to determine Collins will not make it as a catcher.
