I don't think anyone here thinks Tilson is a future guy (unless it's a 4th OF). Similar to Delmonico, he can be brought up to hold the fort/keeping the seat warm until the big spects come up. I'd much rather see what he or Cordell can do than Palka. Worst case, they can play a serviceable RF. 

No doubt about it. I'd happily trade Palka for any of the guys you named right. I like Tilson, every now and then a guy like him turns into something nice

OMG That is on Garcia. More piss poor D from the OF. He broke back on a short popup.

What a fucking joke Leury is in CF. 

Leury is... not a good CF (damn the metrics).

This defense is so awful

Was that really that difficult of a play?

Why is Tim even going out that far? Sorry, thats on Tim, he needs to let that go.

That's fine he called for it but it's the fucking CFs ball 100% there and he misread that ball badly.

It's on the CF to take charge, call for it and catch it.  But Leury broke back, paused and wasn't even close.  Then he watched his SS try and bail him out like last night.  Putrid.

Leury wasn’t getting to it

He did but he probably would have been able to recover if he didn't see Anderson going for it with his back turned. That would've been coliision city had he tried to catch that ball

And now Palka doesn’t come up throwing and allows Soler to get to 3rd

Palka has badly hurt out pitching staff this year and if memory serves me correctly, Reynaldo in particular. Reynaldo I think has been the primary victim of the short fly ball gaffes as well

His squirt gun and slow ass had zero chance regardless.  Sick of RF defense outside that brief period when Eaton was over there.

I mean none of this is really surprising. We have 2 players in the outfield who have no business being out there in Jimenez and Palka, and one that doesn't belong in center.

.020 expected hit percentage on Soler pop up

Eloy should be the only guy out there that's not great with what he brings with the bat. Garcia (in CF) and Palka have no business out there. They kill their own pitchers (especially Palka).

This team would be way better with Avi Garcia in RF

Too bad we wouldn't dare overpay for a veteran

Agreed. 

Nice DP Lopey!

Moncada didnt throw home 

Wow great pick by Moncada and quick turn by Yolmer

Phenomenal play by Yoan.  Nice location by Lopez.

Let's light up this schmuck. 

Nice Eloy!
