At some point we need to think about benching abreu's sorry ass and giving burn to somebody else. 

But then who could provide the worst defense in the majors at first?

I would suggest just cutting Santiago, but that would upset the Tankers.

They’d replace Santiago with Fulmer, so nothing to worry about

Time to drop him out of the third spot. Put Avi 3rd, Palka 4th, Abreu 5th. 

We struck out 11 times and had 1 walk.    UGGGH!!!!!

Why would you want to give Moncada less at-bats?

They don’t seem to mind him getting fewer at-bats against lefties

I worry about Lopez... There's more to suggest that the first half success was a mirage, then there is to suggest he's legit. 

Everybody seems to be worrying about somebody or someone. They are learning and gaining experience that’s all 

Reylo has to find his changeup or make an adjustment to his fastball to increase the spin rate.  If he doesn't he's just a 5th starter long term.  I don't think you want to move him to the pen anytime soon, he'll have all of next year to keep working on it, but this year has been a bit of a reality check.  He's basically pitching off a live arm and not much else.

Glad I didn't spend 100 bucks to sit behind the dugout yesterday.  Wouldn't have really had much to cheer about.

I think the changeup is the real problem.  He’s basically a two pitch pitcher right now and that’s not going to work.  What doesn’t make sense to me is why they aren’t forcing him to throw it more.  He’s never going to gain confidence in the pitch if he never uses it.
