Jax needs to learn what pitches of his end up in the cheap seats. Quit throwing those with two strikes.
I wanna like him. But his losses are piling up. And they hurt. Bad two-strike mistakes. Too often.
We have no idea if Wallner can hit his way out of this slump. If it doesnt happen SOON, I'm all for his demotion. Larnach might be a better option.
Wallner is lost at the plate right now.
Buxton makes the same amount of ridiculous money whether he plays or sits on the bench. Why play him? Just because he makes so much? Not if he sucks, even if it is due to injury.
Now the Jeffers pinch hit home run last night feels even better. A springboard for this big outburst.
Perfect. So was Garver's plunk. Perfect. No harm.
Good game.
Good win
I'm hoping that Jeffer's PH homerun yesterday propels us into something we optimists have been waiting for. Some confidence. Momentum. A run. Sweep. Respect. All of that.
Who is Buxton better than if he is injured? MAT? No.
Give Buxton a game in CF. If he makes us better offensively or defensively give him a longer look.
It makes no sense to me to have injured players playing at a level below our healthy alternatives. We have that luxury of depth.
