Tonight is probably the best Crochet's slider has looked all year. It's too bad he couldn't get a backfoot slider close enough to Arozarena.

Their best hitter

Last post-season, but he has been in the 700's for OPS the majority of this season.

Meadows, Lowe and Wendle have been their best hitters, arguably.

Gonna have to find a way to hit more homers against these good teams.  

we arent going to beat decent to good teams with a AAA lineup.

If they didn't have the the3  batter rule, Tony could have had a right hander face Arozerena.

No team can have 4 starters out and win many games against great competition.

He could have pulled Crochet if he wanted to since he had already faced 3 hitters.

Haha, this is not correct at all

We need to trade for someone with some power. The bottom half of the lineup is garbage.

Just far too much pressure on the pitching 

Mercedes in his last 15 games has a .347 OPS... 536 OPS in his last 30. Thanks for April but he needs to be benched 

One team hits home runs the other does not.  Some of our guys (Jose, yermin, moncada, TA) have to get the long ball stroke going

Yup, and the pitching has held up way better than anyone could have ever imagined.  We need to hit for more power.

Offense was not dynamic at all in that series.  Good start Timmy

Which game against the Jays did Moncada miss?

TA leadoff single

Yes but then you have a RH pitcher facing top LH hitters on the Rays.

Correct? 

Can we PH for Yermin when he is up?

I would think Lamb for Yermin is the obvious move.

Lamb should bat for Yermin

Correct? 

What? What does that have to do with the 3 batter minimum rule then?

WOW

WTF Tim
