Looks like a huge crowd for "Sell the team" game /sarcasm

“SELL THE TEAM FISHER!”

Benintendi close to his season peak of a .712 OPS...after that homer.

Beni tied with Yoan in HRs, and almost twice as many RBIs.

 

End the Moncada experiment.

Still owe him $35 million including these last two months of the 2023 season...

That sure is an expensive experiment

Obviously shouldn't be an "experiment" (Kopech either) 5-6 years into their major league careers when they were both consensus top prospects with almost EVERYONE in the entire scouting industry.

Luis Robert is amazing.

God I love watching Luis play

Luis Robert is special.

Scouting is not an exact science.

So few prospects actually succeed. That why you can get burned trading a major leaguer with years of control left for a minor league pitcher.

Hopefully that's enough to clinch the Gold Glove.

Double play would have been icing on the cake/trophy.

He’s too good for this team

Yeah, even with those MiLB Top 50-100 lists you're only looking at a 10-15% "hit rate" in terms of producing "above average or replacement-level" players...especially after you get past the Top 10-15 guys.

Why did Luis not also rob that one?

Amazing catch by Robert.  Meanwhile, the pitching continues to be terrible 

It’s a good thing Hahn and KW left us guys like Scholtens

He seems like he could be a decent long reliever.

Eloy would have got it.

Bring back Coop, he'll fix'em.

Would a 4 game sweep at the hands of Oakland get anyone else fired?

I mean it’s a terrible pitching staff with zero talent except for Cease and a couple of relievers so no surprise there. 

Maybe they should try scoring runs against a terrible team

Nah blame the head of player development…….oh wait.

Imagine Gio pitching in this hot soup...he would be on his 3rd uniform.

Remember when young Luis used to swing at every first pitch? I think he has really matured as a hitter this year.
