Jay Jackson, Joe Jackson. Both seem pretty alright to me

 

NOT the Joe Jackson that I was expecting.

So brief...

Boy that hurts 

[USAFChief]

Someone please put a leash on Baldelli so he doesn't take his better hitters out for a platoon PH opportunity in the middle innings. It's stupid, and counterproductive. 

[danielp19653]

and this is why adding Margot and Santana as your only position player adds is super depressing

Yes...pathetic average of .125 and really troublesome that they only have 4 hits in the entire game.

Actually only 3 hits in the entire game

[Aggies7]

Sigh. Not much to get excited about with this club.

I'm no fan of this either. Not sure if the FO and manager are going to change though...

Julien .154, Wallner .143 better at what?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

 

Back to 500.

 

Slightly closer thanSunday, so i'll take it.

I didn't like either. Give me the youth and some hope.

Don't forget sending out Polanco for the only add to the rotation. 

[Irishman]

Twins LOST again.    Twins sucks!   2 wins and 160 losses.   LOL!

Better at hitting.

Are you just posting to see yourself in print? Or do you actually not understand baseball?

This is not a good team. With injuries its closer to flat out bad.

Ill keep saying it. If you having the corpse of Carlos Santana batting every day in the middleish part of your order. You clearly failed to build a roster

Dude has been washed for years. Routine DP was saved by their SS.

Vazquez lol. Being left with Margot vs a righty in the 9th and tying run on, malpractice.

Brutal roster made worse by brutal platooning. Lets pinch hit for our youth in the 7th not let them get reps. So guys that no other teams want, bat with game on the line.

Brilliant

Not to mention the reliever that started. The bullpen was darn good though 

[jkcarew]

Pitching ended up giving us a chance.

Batters didn’t take them up on the offer. Shocking lack of power through 4 games.

Julien has fallen apart since ST, and Wallner is doing EXACTLY what he did in ST.

Analytics say what Baldelli does is the smart move , simple as that.

And yet, you can win 85 games (with an ALC schedule) and hang ALC pennants doing this.

Which, sadly, is the goal of this organization.

Let's hope.

I don't think that's a guarantee. Day-twah looks pretty good to me, and Cleveland could win in the mid 80s.

Come on, man. 4 games,,,one in which he got on base twice and another where he doubled and scored a run. Also, only 3 K’s now in 14 PA.

[RpR]

How the recordl looks on April 18, will say a lot about how the season will probably go.

The FO will believe it when they see it.

And then they’ll say we “competed”.
