    That's what I thought too, they basically traded places.  There was something about Keith that they didn't like at third, but everybody seems satisfied with him at second. 

    I think he was getting arm soreness at 3B so they brought him over to 2B to lessen the throws for him...

  2. Sunday night games:

     

    Toledo Loses to St. Paul 5-4

    Meadows 1-5, double 1 K, .499 OPS

    Urshela 3-3 all singles but he seems ready to get back to MLB...

    Malloy 0-3, 1 BB, .868 OPS

    Bigbie 1-4, .685 OPS

    Dingler 1-3, single-SF, .726 OPS

    All singles today except for Parker's double...

    Madden 5 IP's, 3 H 3 BB's 7 K's 1 ER, 7.50 ERA in Toledo (7 runs in 3 1st AAA start, 2 ER's in 4 - 2nd, 1 ER in 5 today = he's getting better handling AAA batters...?)

    Flores gave up 4 ER's in 1 inning, 6.04 ERA

     

    Erie Wins 7-0 over Richmond 

    Workman 1-4, .896 OPS

    Lee 3-4, 2 HR's & 5 RBI's, .793 OPS

    Trei Cruz 2-4, .646 OPS

    Ya know: Trei Cruz is a SS and he's in Erie... I don't know if that gets us anywhere... he's mostly struggled in the minors and .646 is not "fantastic" or anything.... I'm just saying... He's in the Cruz bloodline so...?)

    Lockhart (2021-9th rounder from the Dodgers, 26 yo LH'er) 5 IP's, 1 H 2 BB's 2 K's, 1.93 ERA

     

    WM Loses to Ft. Wayne 7-6 

    Anderson 2-5, (2) doubles, .748 OPS

    Gold 3-5, single-double-HR, .998 OPS

    Campos 2-4, single-double 1 BB, .770 OPS

    Dylan Smith 6 BB's in 4 inn's (ewww), still has a 3.03 ERA though with 0 ER's today. But a 1.48 WHIP.

     

    Lakeland Wins 6-4 over Daytona

    McGonigle 1-4, .806 OPS

    Clark 2-4, singles, .695 OPS

    Briceno 1-2, triple, 1 BB, .831 OPS

    Jose De La Cruz, 2-4, 2 singles, .726 OPS

    This was constructed as an 80 win team. That total goes up if their hitting improves; It goes down if they have major pitching injuries. I think we now have a pretty good read on how this will end up.

    And the division is much better than we thought; They will not be competitive unless the offense improves.

    This sounds about right.

    Now if we could only get this offense to wake up... Or at least a few certain players.

    Tork opened his eyes today, stretched, yawned, and smacked his 1st HR of the year.

    Need...

    More...

    Toledo radio says that Baddoo is getting called up.

    So who is going to sit for Baddoo?

    Canha, Wenceel, Carpenter...? Certainly not Greene. 

    Or is he just a pinch hitter...?

    Just thinking out loud here: I'd almost rather call up Dingler and give him two games a week in place of Kelly... Just to expose him to MLB pitching... and to see what he's got...

  6. Guys... stop complaining. We can either cover for LLM, or sink into the abyss.

    What's your choice?

  7. I'm with Sports Freak...

    He gets at least 3+ years to enact his vision so we can see what he's capable of... so in my mind...

    That's still 2+ years before I even begin any kind of earnest evaluation.

    And so far, early returns, in my mind, are highly promising.

    Organizationally, as well as player acquisition...

    The manager gets a one year homeymoon.  In Hinch's first year, he was a genius who could do no wrong.  Now, each year he gets dumber and dumber.  It was the same with Leyland.

    The only flipside I would say is:

    If a team is crap and losing 100 games then it's easy to just say "Ain't got the players". And if a team is winning 100+ games nobody cares (mostly) about a manager's decisions because... well, winning. But with a team that's barely scraping by at around .500 and winning or losing games by the thinnest of margins... Makes every decision a manager makes subject to second guessing.

    I don't normally say anything about a manager's decisions...

    And losing 100 or so games the past 7 years, right after a spate of years winning 100 or so games... made that easy.

    Now... I love AJ Hinch...

    But I'm feeling critical all of a sudden...

    By the thinnest of margins.
