    I am not sure why you are saying he was benched this weekend. He was hit by a pitch on Friday and due to swelling was not available on Saturday and could have been used yesterday. Apparently the swelling on his forearm was still visible yesterday. He has raised his OPS by over .80 points in May and is 7 for 23 with a HR in his six games.

    I wonder if they sat Buxton yesterday because of the conditions. If his hip is flaring up, I am sure they didn't want him sliding around on a wet playing surface. They mentioned yesterday on the broadcast that Keaschall's arm still showed visible swelling. But they thought he was available if needed yesterday.

    Kriedler has started four games at SS, while he looks better at SS, his defense is above average but not elite. He has not earned the starting job based on this SSS, otherwise why was he not the starting shortstop coming out of spring training. He has done the job when in there, but there is a long way to go to show it can be done on a consistent basis over the course of the season. Keaschall has not played that many games at 2B, we need to have some patience with him before saying he can't play 2B.

    Or he could go back to his swing mechanics prior to his injury when he was having success in the majors.

    Is 441 feet far enough for you, like his home run today.

    I have said this before, he has shown a willingness to move positions. He played CF, he moved to 3B, when before they got Correa he was looking to be the shortstop. I think it is based on timing of the move, do it in the offseason or send him to Ft. Meyers for a mini spring training to get him comfortable. At some point you have to pick a position for him, he has been putting in the work at 3B, while he was not a plus defender, I am not as down as others on his defense. But you have to give him time and he really hasn't been given that. He was not unwilling to move to 2B, his concern was not making a play because he was new to the position and costing his team during a pennant race.

    Not if they have played this long, no reason not to continue.

    Why no Keaschall today?

    Clemens is the only position player of this group that should have consideration for next year. But only as a bench player, playing a couple of times a week or when there are injuries. Kreidler is not going to all of sudden turn into Castro or Escobar just because some want it to happen. He couldn't even beat out Gray coming out of spring training. I will enjoy his success when it happens but expectations are being kept low.

    According to MILB his home runs were measured at 405 and 406 feet. I know many want to trash Lewis on here, but at least be fair when you do it.

    I am not against multi-inning relief appearances. It is the plan they have with Rojas as stated by Maki. They are committed to a four day schedule with 45-60 pitches You can't come into the game with a preordained plan. It almost blew up on them in the 7th inning yesterday, similar to what they did with Abel in the opening series. You can't just keep a guy out there in the 7th inning or later just because you want them to get work based on a plan. You have to manage based on the game situation. If they want to keep him stretched out then send him to St. Paul. They currently have no starters there because every pitcher down there is on the bulk plan pitching no more than 4 innings per outing. My issue is this bulk pitching plan, it needs to be phased out in AAA and the major leagues at a minimum.

    So is he a starter or reliever. This plan works better in St. Paul. one more base runner in the 7th, they would have had to consider bringing in another pitcher. They have to get away from this bulk pitching nonsense.

    Is Kreidler or Arcia at SS vs. 3B going to add an appreciable number of additional wins. IMHO that will add up to one or maybe two wins over the course of a season and have no impact for 2027. So for that you are moving someone who hasn't really played that poorly to warrant to be moved. Hopefully he is on board with the move, but I am not sure it sends the right message.

    It doesn't look he had a natural position, he played SS and the OF mostly other than 2B in the minors and college.
  35. karcherd
    Regarding Keaschall's fielding, there are moments he has looked better. It does look like going to his right he still struggles. But he has less than a full season worth of games between the minors and major leagues at 2B. I think he has the athleticism that he can become at least serviceable there. Not everyone comes up a finished product. Koskie was brutal at 3B and did improve with time. I think a little patience is warranted as long he starts to hit better.
