Nice clean game and a Victory. Well done !

Yes. Greene -LF , Verling -CF , Perez- RF , Rogers - C, Canha- 1B, Keith/Ibanenz- 2B ( platoon) Kreidler -SS (just let him sink or swim and his glove is way way better than McKinstry) Urshela- 3B DH - Mallory/Badoo(platoon) -NEVER let them in the field. This is the best defensively and the tiny advantage of platooning and moving players is more than off set by the improved defense of not doing that. Even in the platoon at second both players are playing the SAME position.

That's good question. To add pressure to the player ? Create animosity and jealousy in the clubhouse ? To play him in the majors before he's ready. To show how clever you are ? I'm sorry for the negativity and I do support Harris and Hinch but not as blindly optimistically as once before. I'm just so tired of losing and I do not agree with the constant position changes that is for sure.

Yes they did and it was wise BUT if Harris thought the Central division was at hand do you not think he wouldn't have taken Langford ?

Agree 1000%. I have always chosen defense first. No clown shows please. Baez does have value as captain of the infield. We win Tuesdays game with him. McKinstry not covering third and dividing at player to luckily get an out and Keith letting a trow go through, Kriedler and Greene clanking balls off their gloves. And Hinch continues the merry go round of players changing positions. It's embarrising.

It just wears you down year after year.

What is the blueprint again ?

At this point just play Kriedler every day and see what he can do. Josh dummy we talk about giving runway and now we play McKinstry who we know is a bench player.

That runner was a dead duck if McKinstry covers third as he should have. Two days without Baez and we have one loss and added runs today. Defense matters especially at shortstop.

Clown 🤡 show two days in a row.

McStinky forgot to cover third

Bloodbath brewing

How does this look for Jace Jung ?

So the best players we drafted, Carpenter and Skubal, did not require tanking. Great.

He declared his timeline with last years draft taking Clark instead of Langford. We are currently still in a rebuild but, hopefully, a much smarter one done by a much smarter GM.

Yes but game over if he was playing.

Anybody miss Baez yet ?

Verling should play every day in centerfield period. His defense is excellent and he hits well in consideration of that. He’s not a fourth outfielder in my opinion. At least not on this team.

He's not taking my calls or mail...gonna send him a Fedex or maybe try a SNL candy gram ?

If the price is right....Holiday and Mayo..left side of the infield potentially solved.....

That’s what I have been saying. They are stacked.

Yes sellers again and again and again and again ………

Great clips as always. Thanks again.

So for puuureeee speculation Harris extends Flattery and signs Bregman and Adames in the off season. Is that enough ?

Sadly this seems like a very accurate summary to me. I bet Harris has thought this all along and thats why his last draft was high schoolers and I bet he pairs them up with more this draft. Me thinks his window is 2027-2028 and I bet he has told Junior as much during his interview. But I'm not a betting man.
