So I propose we forego the DH starting tomorrow and bench White and let the pitchers hit since we are going to cincy in a week and a half.

 

Pitchers get some live reps and we lose no production

with our luck, cole will get hurt running the fucking bases.

maybe not if we were an NL team - you know the league this team actually belongs in.

I'd rather ditch the Sooner than ditch White. Unless he can pitch better than White or something...

#8259

Yeah, it’s clear the length of Mayfield’s MLB career is pegged to the health of other men’s hamstrings, but tip my cap to the Sooner for grinding and being a true professional.

My 4.5 yo is a baseball nut right now. I’d like to think I have something to do with that but moments like this from last year when Fresno rolled through Round Rock don’t hurt.

I know we have all beaten the TW horse to death, but seriously...we can't really keep trotting out a DH/1B hitting .205/.299/.282. I mean...that's beyond awful. He's 35% worse than the average MLB hitter. 

I know we want to get some value for him, but you have to cut the cord at some point. It's difficult to rationalize his spot on the roster when you are already down Springer, Altuve and Correa. 

I mean, he's slugging .282...holy shit.

Yeah, but today’s the day.
HR #2 and he may even mix in a double and an RBI or two.

god dammit i didn't even realize we had started.  we play so fucking few day games, it caught me off guard.  also it's not even 1pm here so there's that.

3-0 without anything out of bregman or brantley.

chirinos - the most yawn-inducing signing of the offseason.  i think it's time we all just stfu and start drinking the koolaid.

.528 / .532 / .555

those are slugging percentages for chirinos / brantley / bregs.

#8277

Would be third out/routine fly ball dropped between Brantley and Marisnick.

Ended up costing JV 10 extra pitches and an earned run.

The 10 extra pitches will be something to keep an eye on later in the game...

Walking Chirinos to get to White. Please for the love of God do something good White.

Update, White still sucks

forgetting his .500 slg and .830 ops, jake is an embarrassment of riches in the outfield.

as much as i want to see yordan up and in the lineup right now, if everyone was healthy, getting him consistent ab means somebody really good isn't playing.

it would make things easier if someone like reddick was struggling, but he isn't.  he's hitting .309 and plays great d.

This is true.

Everyone healthy, Yordan would platoon DH maybe?

Hinch would have pulled him after 8 either way

#8289

*assuming everyone is healthy*

if yordan is permanent dh, then brantley plays left, and jake is a late-inning def replacement (although that's tough because you lose reddick or brantley in the lineup).

bench is kemp, jake, backup-c.

if yordan can somehow play some first or left, then you can play around a little with rotating dh and yuli.  if yordan can play left, it would make more sense, so that brantley could be more of a permanent dh in the playoffs.

This is honestly why I didn't think we would actually see him up until September.  With him in the minors he can get consistent ABs.  Up here he isn't going to get consistent ABs most likely (when Springer/Diaz/Altuve are back mainly).

shit, @scraps reminded me of the existence of diaz (.835 ops).

he's the ss until correa is back, then he's on the bench, along with jake and backup c, and probably no room for kemp or white (duh).

playoff construction gonna be a real high wire act.

Yeah where is Diaz in this configuration?

every time i think to myself, bregman is awesome, but he's been kinda quiet lately, he yaks all over the field.

i made the mistake of saying it out loud last week and he had 2 bombs.
