Guess asking Buck to bunt wasn't on the table

You're going to ask your best hitter to bunt?

Desperate times call for

[Mike Sixel]

Are they platooning Keaschell? Really? Or just resting him?

[Patzky]

Well a wasted opportunity is at least an opportunity.

I am afraid that they are going to platoon him.. We don't know for sure, but from comments by Shelty, they seem to think Roden deserves at bats over others

Stop with the facts. 

[SS MagicMark]

On a positive note, it only took 3 innings to match our hit total from last night.

to play Roden ,  its moves like this   that are why  we can never be taken as a contender !  hopefully its only a one game thought !

[S Bart]

Be careful, there are some that think Roden  is a core piece and we need to prioritize AB'S for him.

[Church of Kreidler]

Rojas is still looking fantastic tonight - glad he's feeling so good tonight!

Good insight Pedrocito

[Rodney29]

Buxton batting Average this year with RISP is .185 and OPS .630. 
 

Buck Truck’s “clutch” is stuck in reverse.

I Like roden as a 4th-5th outfielder , just dont want to see younger guys sit

His control is so much better. A few pitches trying to get swings are too far out the zone but beyond that. At around 60 pitches is he done or will they let him go to 80? I bet he gets the next rotation start.  You have to keep giving this ability opportunity. 

[Church of Kreidler]

Now if they could just poke some holes into the outfield, that would be great!

Oh for those that remember a world of manual transmissions, someone was riding the clutch too much and is now wore out.

And they are producing.  I think Roden might be a good 4th outfielder but that is his ceiling.

[mrmpls]

Royce  run into one !!

[S Bart]

SHELTON has good people skills....

I think he could steal a base in reverse.
