Baby steps! We're back in the game.Cool and all but can we hit one with a couple guys on please?
Would you continue to ask for things nicely? Please?Cool and all but can we hit one with a couple guys on please?
Story is gone, O'Neill isn't in the lineup and Yoshida hasn't been an MLB caliber bat since about June of '23.Casas, Devers, Yoshida, Story, O'Neill. Duran was a bit of a question mark, but he's shown he stuck. Grissom seems like a solid prospect bat as well.
What you're seeing is injury and underperformance/cold starts. Valdez, Yoshida, and Abreu in particular.
And it's resulted in them being a notch below average in terms of their offensive production. They could easily be better.
Or to put it another way, it's not like these guys are maxing out and getting beat.
You said the lineup was weak as constructed. It wasn't.Story is gone, O'Neill isn't in the lineup and Yoshida hasn't been an MLB caliber bat since about June of '23.
I just don't know why anyone expected anything different than this.
Your lips to god’s ears.How about a homer into the bullpen please.
I'll be honest, a swing or two prior to that I thought "that shoulder business" might return.Big Raffy gets over that shoulder business.
At the very least you would think they would have pitched around him.Why wouldn't they IBB Devers and pitch to Yoshida?
That's okay. You would pinch hit Bobby for Masa and Bobby is due. Bobby D will save us.Why wouldn't they IBB Devers and pitch to Yoshida?
You can't quit. We won't let you.This gamethread is dead for a game in mid April. I wish I could quit it.
