Did last nights game thread go away for lack of interest or  too painful to remain active?

And damn I thought Pollock had turned a corner, but he looks as bad as he did earlier in the season.  The guy is an automatic out.  He only seemed to hit well when he was at the top of the lineup.

I said this in April.  He should leadoff and DH.  He is not a middle of the order bat.

I think we have enough depth at DH already

Our current 1B could be a DH

Our now injured starting Catcher is a DH

Our current 3B is a DH 

Our current LF is a DH

Our injured starting LF in Charlotte is a DH

Whoever plays in RF is usually a DH

And then there's Vaughn

So what we're saying here is that there are only 2 guys who belong at their positions with a glove and that's Robert in CF and Anderson at SS (and even that has the moments of look away).

And they still are awful at scoring runs.

To follow up on this, if you expand fangraphs out to 180 PAs to include Jake Burger's season here are their defensive ratings out of 76 peers

Yoan Moncada 17th 3.9 Dwar, 3.6 UZR/150, 1 OAA, 0 RAA

Jake Burger 57th -4.2 Dwar, -13.4 UZR/150, -6 OAA, -4 RAA

Now do offense.

A DH should be able to hit.

A roster of bat-first players that is among the league's worst offense. Amazing. At least they all run fast.

The point is that we have horrible defenders all over the field, and they are costing us runs.  We have somewhere around 3 guys who are truly good defenders at their positions.  Every time we stick Jake out there, maybe he hits, but he gives it all back on the field.  We can't afford to have a whole line up of this, and we quite literally lost the game last night for this exact reason. 

Also if we don't get Yoan Moncada back on track, we aren't winning anything anyway.

But for the record, on their careers, their numbers are remarkably similar, even with Moncada's huge injury related problems this year.

Lady Godiva was a freedom rider
She didn't care if the whole world looked
Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her
She was a sister who really cooked
Isadora was the first bra-burner
Ain't ya glad she showed up? (Oh yeah!)
And when the country was fallin' apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up

Now use Yoans career sample size instead of 100 plate appearances.

Hahahaha....I was totally thinking of the theme to Maude when I put that line in there about Vaughn but I didn't think anyone else would hear that in their head.  Thanks for being there for me.
