Mid may can't come soon enough. Can you imagine swapping him with Saladino?

 

I cant wait. He's got alot of eyes on him right now. Hope he can perform here.

Can we only bat?

Helluva scoop by Jose.

Abreu is a disgrace on defense

Just a thought...i guess more realistically I would rather see May in C.F. with Luery Garcia in right, with Avi at DH. I would rather have the bett3r defense out there than the slim potential upside offensively with the left handed bar in Asche up there. Idk.

 

That's fine, but they're not going to invest 300-350 at bats in Leury to determine he's the last guy on the roster.

 

Just throw those AB's to anyone else, except Hawkins. Engel's not ready, so probably Liriano next.

 

The other problem is four DH's in Avi, Abreu, Davidson and Asche.

Spoke too soon.

Then he does that, lol.

Abreu will be a DH sooner than later.

Hopefully Hawk on the road next week will give up the idea Abreu is ever going to be a competent 1b.

 

He is what he is...have to accept it.

I've never seen a MLB 1B that has so many problems catching routine balls.

Nice job by Holland. I was a little worried he was going to be a gas can. So far not the case.

Worst defense I've ever seen, looks like my softball team. 100+ losses easy.

Saladino > Frazier

Holland looks much better than I was expecting.

Correct I remember a few years back the DRS was atleast bearably bad.

 

Seems Viciedo had more outfield assists from LF than RF, fwiw. The problem is the LF gets considerably more action.

Well, they are pretty solid up the middle and on the left side. The right side of the diamond however is a train wreck outside of Tyler.

Saladino > Frazier

I meant in the batting order. I guess the question is does Moncada walk?

another loud out to CF, damn.

not a strike

"The odds are long, but here we go. Jose Quintana does his usual thing. James Shields suddenly starts pitching like the James Shields of at least 2014. Derek Holland makes 30 starts and has that one big year that's maybe buried deep inside him. Miguel Gonzalez is solid. Carlos Rodon suddenly turns into Steve Carlton, with the best slider in the game. Then Yoan Moncada comes up in June and is an immediate star. Boom. Print your playoff tickets."

 

For Greg's optimism club.

 

 

 

Yes, Moncada walks a lot more than expected, to an earlier point.

Tyler is making a case early to get rid of Todd (or move him to 1B) as soon as Moncada comes up. I think Tyler might have a "breakout" year.

Oh man meatball served up on the 1st pitch and TA fouls it back.

I'm still solidly on the TankforBeer train. But weird stuff happens. Kris Bryant now has the longest hitless streak to start a season for a reigning MVP.

Good take.
