Team BA is .174 (28th in MLB). Team OBP is .241 (30th).

Okay Shelty-why Bell at 1B, put Column there and let Bell DH. I like Evans at 3B but what is with no Polanco? Is he still messed up with the COVID or is it something else. Let's hope that Tucker can find his stroke. And let's see how long it takes for Holland to tossed tonight! ;D

I'm fine with Polanco out of the line-up but I'd prefer Osuna take his place rather than Tucker and his light bat play out of position.

Okay Ben, do you even have a pulse? Mike Foltynewicz is sitting out there at 28 years old and 1 year removed from a sub 3.00 ERA. What on earth will it take for you to DO SOMETHING?

You make a good point about Osuna. I give Tucker this homestand to find some kind of groove and if he doesn't then go to Osuna in RF. As for Polanco, I think he may be toast when you think about him.

Ben's a good guy.  If he brings Foltynewicz here, it'll ruin his career.  Poor Folty would end up 1-10, his confidence shattered as he watches the defense boot balls and throw to the wrong base, and the offense hit .194 with runners in scoring position.  He'll never be able to walk onto a baseball field again after September.

I don't mind Tucker getting some starts but I think it ought to be at SS, where he's comfortable.  I think that could lead to him being more comfortable going to the plate.



I want Osuna in the line-up because he brings power, something lacking with this current team.  While he's not really a right fielder, I actually trust him more than I do the, uh, adventurous Polanco.

Tucker belongs in the minor leagues.

I see the 2-0 lead has turned into a 5-2 deficit. It's going to be a long short season.

Depozo came in and gave up 3 runs without recording an out. I am not sure he is even a good AAA player let alone major leaguer.
