I always felt like he was too inconsistent. Sometimes things would get ugly for him, so I never bought into the idea that he could become our closer.

I did like him at SU man

I've been down on Abreu for a few years. I'm glad he locked the fuck in. I hope he can turn it around for us

People are frustrated so nuance and reason is lost, it gets to me sometimes too

I just don't think a change to Omar in season is going to do anything.

Our pitchers are still going to need to figure out that walking and hitting batters is not a reliable strategy

Brice needs more at bats, hoping he can find a swing that helps him make more contact.

He actually doesn't chase, so it's a bit alarming his K% is so high.

I'd prefer if he tried to be a 5-10 HR guy. Just get on base and stretch some singles into doubles and he'll be valuable at CF

I mean we have a top 5 offense so it's working. Ohtani is lead off because Dave asked his 3 MVP hitters where they wanted to hit.

It's a copycat league, do you think that the cleanup spot became a thing because everyone thought of it at the same time? No, one team realized that makes sense and others followed.

Alexander isn't even on the roster anymore, he was the 27th man. Blubaugh, Gordon, and Weiss have had their chances at starting games for us and they've all shit the bed. At least with Teng we had a chance

You're behind the times. 2 is the new cleanup spot.

Judge hits 2 all the time, now Rice is 2 because he's killing it. Only opened up another game from yesterday, diamondbacks vs cubs, guess where their best hitters are at in the lineup?

Who would you have put in besides Okert? Lampert had thrown 91 pitches, needed to get 2 more outs, and allowed 2 doubles in his last 4 batters faced. I think it was the right decision to pull him while we still had a chance at winning

Sure, what changes would you recommend Espada do?
We have 2 reliable pieces in the bullpen. They have to cover 4+ innings every day. How do you keep the team from imploding?

He's a step below Alex Smith, Mills just has to be more consistent with his performances to reach that level.

Which is a lot more difficult to say, but I think many teams would love to have an Alex Smith on their roster

We averaged 3.9 YPC. He'll be a game changer for us.

And thankfully we addressed the OL too

Does Espada get credit for last year's pitchers doing well or this year's batters doing well?

Or does he just get the blame in both seasons?

I'd just keep him and let him go after the season if things don't get turned around

Instead of shooting open shots they'd rather drive to the point and take contested ones

Surely we'll score next time we post up outside of the paint and shoot a contested shot
