Vargas is slumping but Mune and Colson are broken.

I agree on other two - but both have immense tools and upside. Baseball is a rough game, I look forward to seeing how they both respond to it with another offseason of development.

Braden: 107mph EV

Also Braden: Launch Angle: -1 degrees

He’s been a massive disappointment

2-0 and he ends up striking out lol

left side of the infield has been real disappointing defensively since the ASB. As for Colson, he’s just a losing player. Trade his ass

When he was sent to AZ last year they probably read him the riot act in that he had to change his approach, it lasted about a year and he’s back to where he was when they sent him to AZ.

For those complaining - Vargas has a 4.5 WAR. I get he might be scuffling a bit but dude has been a baller all year. Colson and Mune show plenty of good but clearly can’t argue how much they have faded down the stretch and fact that they have continued work to do. What I don’t get is both have excellent eyes and they just seem to have lost it in their approaches in season. They get that right and they will always have swing miss but everything will be much better!

Tell me again how good of an eye Teel has at the plate.

half of these hitters I don't even want on this team next season whenever that is, namely Braden, Meidroth, Colson. idk if you can fix Braden's ground ball issue and wtf do you do with his RH swing, get rid of it completely? it doesn't work at the big league level

Colson and Meidroth are just bad hitters with way too much swing and miss and our top hitting prospects are also high whiff guys

Put him on the next Greyhound to Bumfuck Indiana.

That bus also stops in Muckrock Flats Indiana if he’d prefer it there.

Teel has not played much baseball this year, I wouldn't have even called him up this late in the season tbh

One at bat shouldn’t change anyone’s opinion either way.

It’s crazy how every move Venable has made the last few weeks has backfired. Also a situation where they’re probably able to use Newcomb instead of Murphy if Castillo wasn’t so fucking bad. It all adds up

He needed more time in the Minors.

Yep, they won yesterday but Castillo having such a short outing messed up today as well.

I've been looking forward to the Cleveland series for awhile, but now I just dread it..

Meidroth is fine, but he’s not someone that’s going to be the best player on your team. That was supposed to be the strikeout squad of Mune and Colson. Braden doesn’t look like a major league right fielder to me at the plate.

Actually I thought they should have shut him down after 3 injuries in the year.

Yeah let’s replace them with different guys that you’ll b**** nonstop about.

Was that going to fix his terrible swing?

If we dont take 2 of 3 against CLE I am afraid our division run will be over

When Rock is ready, Colson will be moved from SS in a heart beat!

You would have thought last night would have cleared their heads and maybe loosened them up a bit again, like they have been all year. Nope.

Yeah, one run is absolutely pathetic. Especially after Sandlin gave them a solid outing. I would be shocked if we don't get swept in Cleveland 😢

Hopefully away from this team, along with Mune.

I agree on Chase, he’s been great in the field, they just have to work with him on contact and cut down on swinging from out of his shoes. The trouble is we have a hitting coach who wants guys swinging out of their shoes.

You think all of Wills moves this year have backfired?

I have no idea how they won’t strikeout 15 times tomorrow
