Miranda looking functional on both sides of the ball is the most significant occurrence in this game.

We need our the short side platoon trio of Castro, Margot and Farmer to pay off today. They all have a very good track record against lefties over their career that is nowhere near ugly. This is a big

At some point, guys just have to start hitting their career average. No one is going to mistake Margot, Farmer, Santana and Buxton for Juan Soto or Mookie Betts, but they also shouldn't be mistaken fo

Can't get his secondary stuff over consistently a they are hammering the fastball. Too inconsistent with his command. I hate to say it, but Mr. Varland looks like a relief pitcher where he can throw the fastball and one off speed pitch.  

Dont hate to say it. It’s been said since last offseason. The FO are the only people who apparently thought it could work out. Well almost the only people. I’m not hating on him, he shouldn’t be in this spot to begin with.

What's with Martin?  The only tv exposure time is when he crosses Buxton's path of fly balls that belong  to and should only be played by Buxton.

But -- So many here could not wait for him to come up; maybe he is a fortelling of what Lee will be.🤔

It's not a matter of him coming up as much as it is playing out of position. Hes a 2nd baseman. If they bring Lee up and put him out there the results will be similar. Hey just put Buxton at SS.  He's an athlete.

He was not a good 2nd baseman; he was a better outfielder; maybe more time in AAA can fix what is wrong.

Varland is a two-outcome pitcher.

One outcome on two strikes. That can be fixed.

Couple nice two strike pitches to Adley there and still got hit.

Really? He has no arm. How do you fix that? And who said he was a better outfielder.  To my knowledge he just started playing there last year.
