I'd have martin up and starting in CF right now.....and see if it works or not for the playoffs. They aren't built to win the playoffs, most likely, so take some chances.
Fair, in context of yesterday, but I'm not sure that's leverage specific in terms of what inning, which I thought was your argument.. You stated an opinion, I asked about it, nothing more or less.
How long will we suffer with 42% strikeouts until AK is back? How do we KNOW Williams or Severino are worse than Gallo?
This fear of losing out on Gallo somehow being better than the options is really odd to me. He's one of the worst hitters in all of baseball since May......Fear of moving on is not what I'd like from this FO.
Blaming Rocco for this bullpen is bonkers. There are what, two guys they can count on? Three? I have no idea how people blame Rocco for this.
Did people really want Balazovich or Winder in there instead of Jax? Those same people that rip him for using those guys?
He can only play the RPs he's given....I really don't know how this is on him at all.
I count 4 hitters in teh lineup I want on the roster next year. Five if Vazquez has to be a backup. That's partly health, and partly guys I just don't want around.
Because Gallo is awful? These guys play first all the time for fun. How much do you really think a good athlete needs to work at 1B to play it fine? You can't be an automatic out, just because you can play first.
