  1. Caden Kendle is batting .400 in Wichita…..
  2. So Kreidler in LF. Yuck.
  3. Aaron Sabato would have been interesting. Better than Victor Caratini at 1B vs LHP.
  4. Yes, this means they think Austin Jackson is a better RH platoon bat than Gonzalez. They’re probably right about that, Gonzalez is not hitting in AAA. Caratini shouldn’t be playing 1B vs LHP. Kreidler shouldn’t be playing in the outfield at all. I would probably start Kreidler at 2B, bat him 9th and pinch hit Clemens for him as soon as possible. That means starting Jackson in LF vs LHP and replacing him with Larnach ASAP.
  5. Fedko is out for the season with a knee injury
  6. Three - Wallner, Gonzalez and Rodriguez Edit: Sorry, Four with Mendez
  7. But all of that only applies to Jenkins. They can call up Emmanuel Rodriguez without worrying about any of that. Beats the hell out of playing Ryan Kreidler in the outfield.
  8. So, what is the lineup vs LHP? OF - Clemens, Buxton, Keaschall IF - Lee, Culpepper, Lewis, Caratini C - Jeffers; DH - Bell Do they swap in Kreidler in LF, playing him in a bat-first position just because he stands in the batters box on the left side of home plate? When do Roden and Jackson get any playing time?
  9. Is Jackson going to actually play in the outfield? He seems like 10th on the depth chart for outfielders. Is Roden or Larnach going to get the playing time vs LHP? What a weird move.
  10. I expect they will try Wallner at DH to start 2027. He’s out of options and this franchise hates giving players away.
  11. True. Buxton has a career 1 for 7 line in the postseason with 4K and 0BB. His playoff record is a mix of unavailable and unproductive.
  12. What a brilliant suggestion. Practices. I don’t know why nobody thought of that before. What do you think the team does every day before the game begins. Do you think they’re sitting in the clubhouse playing PlayStation?
  13. There are a lot of intangibles that led to Hrbek getting his number retired. Buxton doesn’t have any of those intangibles. I have seen Hrbek’s name on lists of the ten worst players with an MLB retired number.
  14. The face of a team that won one playoff series.
  15. Six teams chasing the last spot gives them one in six odds. They need Joe Ryan to pitch like he can at his best and Buxton to hit like he can at his best. If the stars play like scrubs they’re doomed.
