Well, one is better than none. I wonder what the stat is for futility with the bases loaded and no outs.....

Unfortunately.....I've seen bases loaded and no outs produce zero runs.  Fact is that the bottom of the lineup is whack right now.  Leon is as close to an automatic out as it gets.  It looks like he is constantly struggling to catch up to pitches.

Is it possible Cleveland is still sending Leon a check once a week?

What were you expecting?

Gordon?  Miranda?

.....but we need guys who have been hitting more consistently getting up to the plate after our top of the lineup batters. 

Miranda’s already batting cleanup, so…my point would be “guys who’ve been hitting more consistently” don’t really exist on the active roster.

all Bundy has done so far is allow baserunners. It will cost him eventually.

Maybe not, if we are lucky. At 80 pitches now..... Baldelli must be salivating to change pitchers

Don't know the league average for that situation, but I feel quite confident in believing we're waaay below league average in converting those opportunities.

Not good enough.  This team always has to have an automatic out in the lineup

Is salivating on his spreadsheet?

As I said....and I noticed it first in the Rangers series.....Gordon had been batting sixth or seventh.....despite batting nearly .300 in August.  Outside of a couple recent games....Kepler has been dreadful at the plate.

I was looking for 160-180 BA and 550-570 OPS. Can’t believe he’s underperforming. Think of where we’d be with a HOT Sandy Leon.

Double jeopardy/paychecks this series. He also won a ring with Boston in 2018 (.177 with a .511 OPS!) 5 years with the Red Sox, 2015-2019. Post season winner. We could use a little of that.

Leon hasn't had a .550 OPS since 2017.
