    Our position players combine for 3WAR so far this year.

    Dozier is -1 all by himself. Somehow Soler is only -0.2 (I assume last night helped a lot)

    That’d be 3 huge additions. That exit velo stats is crazy. Clearly we strike out way too much and never walk, but at least we hit it hard.

    If we can’t beat Detroit in a Duffy-Mize matchup then the franchise needs to fold. We’ll never win again.

    I feel like every time we shift, the pitcher throws it up and away, inviting the hitter to hit away from the shift. Like every damn time.

    No he hasn't.

    But I feel like most of those are just pitchers missing spots. Salvy will set up down and in and it will be 3 feet away

    They should just say there is a Covid outbreak and take a week off. Fucking worthless.

    If this team really had designs on competing you'd fire the entire coaching staff and Matheny today.

    2 of those were supposed to be at least our 2nd and 3rd best hitters.

    You would put Dozier or Soler ahead of Whit/Salvy?

    Whit is best.

    Yes I would put them ahead of Salvy. At least they should be given their positions and availability. Soler did lead the league in homers 2 years ago and Dozier was an animal 2 years ago.

    Salvy has value otherwise. If those 2 can't hit they are useless.

    Petro made a comment today he heard the anti vaxxers are causing issues in the clubhouse today. Like they still have to follow strict protocols because certain guys don't want to get the shot.

    Not that it explains the shitty play, but it can't help things.

    No, and he didn't hint at it, but considering demographics and where they are from, I'd bet it includes at least some of:

    Whit (SC)
    Wade (FL)
    Holland (GA)
    Keller (GA)
    Singer (FL and he just seems like a red ass)
    Zuber (AR)

    He’s looked alright but I just hate watching Nicky at the plate. Up 3-0 with a runner on, put the bat in your shoulder till there’s 2 strikes, then foul shit off till you get ball 4, you putting a ball in play is the worst outcome available.

    Oh jeez. That's awful news. He and Singer have been the only consistent starters we have had all year.

    I really hope it isn't TJ again because his career would likely be over :tebow:
