April 11, 20196 yr Aight. We are going to have a wonderful start from Lambert, and breakout games from Gonzalez, Adolfo, and Rutherford tonight. Thanks.
April 11, 20196 yr Based on Fathom’s comment the other day, I’m predicting blasts from both Madrigal & Sheets (aka Anthony Rendon Jr) tonight!

April 11, 20196 yr https://twitter.com/patrickhoward50/status/1116471667914616833?s=21 So this just happened to me at the Dash game. Luis Robert and Nick Madrigal!

April 11, 20196 yr No Collins tonight..... This shit happens to me every damn time I come down to Indy for this series. Sigh.

Sure, .340 OBP plus .340 slugging with great defense and base running is a 2.5-3.0 fWAR player at 2b Edited April 12, 20196 yr by JUSTgottaBELIEVE

I just don’t get what they saw if they were never going to try him at SS. 2-3 WAR 2nd baseman aren’t very special. Taking a guy with the 4th pick that you’re shocked if they get an extra base hit is a bad plan.
April 12, 20196 yr I’m giving it to the end of month before I full out panic, but it’s definitely concerning how bad our AA lineup has been this year.
April 12, 20196 yr At least Lambert has had an excellent start. I imagine he's done. Probably the next best active pitching prospect next to Cease. 6.0 IP 3 H 1 R 3 BB 8 SO
