Starting pitchers can't go deep and relief corps is a mess. If the former could fix itself, the later wouldn't be as big a problem. I wish they would let Jax be a two inning reliever...
I loved him when he was here but bringing him in is only going to take a roster spot from a young developing player. And we need the defensive flexibility that he doesn't have.
And I'm not giving up a Joe Ryan to get him
Funny thing about stats. You can take 9 .300 hitters, put them all on one team, and they're still going to make 27 outs. Even at the All Star game, someone is going to be 0-3. I still feel Jeffers is going to be elite some day.
Would anyone have predicted he'd be the only one not on the IR?
I enjoy watching his facial expressions when he pitches. He looks like he's having fun. I just wish he could get through 6 innings...
Urshella has made some phenomenal plays. Timely his.
Infield defense as a whole has been very good.
After last season my expectations for Celestino where not very high but he's proven me wrong.
My wife adopted Astudillo as her favorite Twin last year and I got one of his cards for her from eBay. But it was pretty cool that he'd be playing here in Jacksonville this season. There was no sign of him at the first game we went to back in May. But Lewin Diaz plays first here, and Refsnyder was playing for the Woosox that night. Second game we went to got rained out (Slegers was slated to pitch for the visitors) and then Willans got the call up. Maybe we'll catch him later in the year...
Yeah yeah yeah Rocco, you won without Buxton and Correa, yup, you're a genius.
But how bout those kids who's parents bought them tickets to see their heroes sit on the bench? Way to grow the game.
