Game by game, the point is to compete to win. In that sense, yes, it matters. It always matters. Even for KC, the team, when they sweep.

thats on Management-   not Luke,   he not gonna say no

True...regardless... he still is better not being in CF or 2nd...at least this year...he has been a thoroughbred otherwise

[Rodney29]

Bell’s swing looks soooo awkward but it gets results.

He'd be a .290 hitter with 25 HR if he did!

Long Term  - we dont know where he will end up-   His noodle arm speaks left field

Yeah...I am also.....but i am not going to stop following them. Things like Luke's catch...a long homer by Bell yesterday..I was at the games in Atlanta in 91 as I was living in the south...I watch few Vikings games...but i played HS baseball and fastpitch softball later..love the sport..hate to see this lock down looming

I still think there's a chance his arm is still recovering from TJ surgery and might be improved with therapy and time.

Luke is a nice ballplayer, but the long-term plan for him should probably be that he's a key piece in a trade that brings back a solid player, e.g., Arraez for Lopez-plus.

[Patzky]

PH Ross or Jackson for Larnach then sub in Jenkins for defense
