@TalkinBaseball_@AndrewMarchand Deprioritizing the best DA matchup for one where the losing team has given up 23R is exactly what I’d expect. Criminal behavior Manfred
@A_Jude Teams that make deep runs get contributions from unlikely places - Freese with STL in the 2010s is a great example. Our lineup is deep, but the ones we’ll need to step up in a big way are the 5-6-7 RPs. If those guys handle business, this team hangs multiple banners
@MarinerMuse His .762 OPS against LHP is valuable to giving Cal plenty of DH ABs, but no doubt he’s produced some of the least competitive ABs in an Ms jersey since Kolton Wong
@colinokeefe If they’d stop condensing the season to 81G instead of spending in the offseason to give these guys 162G with a competitive roster, we’d be in a different situation. The players need to come to play which starts with management, but the ownership’s refusal to spend is a problem
