IdahoBert Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I’m starting to feel it was a good idea not to spend $149 on the MLB TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtrain72 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 But that was a ya win some, ya lose some game...costly errors happened to both teams. My main concern is having a black hole at the leadoff position...not sure who else AJ can try, but Greene aint it. He has a track record/splits of hittings lots better in the 2-3 hole...when does this experiment end AJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCFKNIGHT Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The Al Avila administration wasted a first round draft pick on Spencer Torkelson. The Scott Harris administration knows this. The only reason Torkelson is on this roster is because he was the first player selected. Parker Meadows should also be sent down to AAA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtrain72 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Tbh, at this point, put Javy at leadoff for a few games...it literally cant get any worse, and he's at least been making consistent contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the consensus number one. Pretty much every other team would have taken him. There are no guarantees in the draft. It's also too early to write him off.

Detmers and Crochet are looking pretty good, aren’t they? #SecondGuessingFTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehringer_2 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 7 hits, 6 bb and 2 bombs is good output day for this team. They just didn't catch the ball well enough today - though of the errors the one on Keith looked more like a bad hop.

SoCalTiger Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Can't blame Al Avila for the Tork pick but I wonder if Harris thinks he and others are not so good and that's why he passed on Langford because his evaluation of the inherited talent makes him think we are still 3 years away so he went high school high ceiling draft.

Skies are a little cloudy for Langford. 2 XBH (0 HR) in 55 AB not likely what a championship team wants in a production position like LF. I'd call it 50/50 which of he or Meadows get sent down 1st. Langford has the "we are not going to admit we were wrong" aspect going for him, Parker has the great D going for him. Still will be neck and neck I think. 🐎🏇 Edited April 17 by gehringer_2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Walker, who went 21st, and was called up last year, has 16 with StL. A couple of the pitchers are doing OK, but not much in the way of hitters from the top of the 2020 draft.
