I’m not questioning why he isn’t a full time outfielder anymore. I’m comfortable saying Cruz’s bat+defense is better than Cave’s in a short span of games. They apparently prefer Cave’s platoon advantage instead. We will soon find out. To take it one step further, I might also use Kepler in center and Buxton on the bench as a late inning replacement for Cruz in these NL parks. -
Cruz is absolutely mashing right now. Why give him just one AB as a pinch hitter when you can give him four? Also to your point, Cruz got good reviews in the outfield in spring training. We have a strikeout pitcher going today.
-
Cave in LF, not Cruz today. Interesting call if Cruz is going to sit on the bench until next Friday.
-
Agree, three mostly poor games in a row. Time to play a good one.
-
The one-inning performance from the starter had quite a domino effect. If Philly had a scheduled off day Monday, I’m sure this game would have been postponed. But today looks good and I assume we’ll see Astudillo catching and Cruz and Buxton in the OF
-
Tells me Astudillo is catching tomorrow.
-
Lol, got the job done?
-
Martin Perez batting, bunting situation
-
Also, Polanco rips one!
-
Now it’s not raining at all. Umps missed their chance tonight!!
-
Game of inches, from surrendering a home run but just foul, to a strike out.
-
Yeah but if you’re a Philly fan, you’re sitting there like it’s no big deal, selling it to the umps, so they don’t call the game.

I’m also baffled by guys who won’t take a HBP when it’s offered them. Adrianza on that 2-1 pitch for example. Please wear it and load the bases. Ugh

Are you at the game? How’s the rain? I will interpret a no reply, as it’s raining too hard to pull out your smartphone and the game should be called

The Twins need to mount a Shakespearean acting effort to convince the umps that it’s too slick to play.
-
We’ve answered the question of whether he can “super-sub” over at first base
-
Good call to pinch hit there. Still want rain.
-
Cave can’t just stand out in the outfield, holding the ball and wondering what base to throw to, while the baserunners are all in there running around the bases.

you mean, right now, at .667?
-
There must be some unknown-to-us calculus happening here:* Maybe 600 PA, or nearly full time player over the course of a season, in MLB, equals a .275 Tortuga with strikeouts, while 350 PA scattered through a season equals a .340 Tortuga. Or something. Not sure. Because I do think he can hit well over .300 with semi regular playing time. But maybe not? *using Batting Average as a short-hand for any/all general offense production
-
I’m actually quite concerned about Astudillo. That last at bat went five pitches.
