Issue is more Dave should’ve fixed one outfield spot in the offseason so that you only had marsh/bader platooning. Really marsh with how bad he is against LHP should be platooning. Bader is fine as a avg starting CF this year

August 5, 2025Aug 5 Is it me or does Tanner Banks pitch every game when the bullpen is in? Topper always has guys available or not but it seems like Banks is never unavailable for a game

Who were some of their best which for Soto isn’t saying much.Curious to see how we do against the rangers in Texas and the reds next week. We never play well in Arlington

Lol.In theory it’s the orioles so they should punish them. They are awful and basically given up on the season. Tbh the Wednesday game they face Trevor Rogers who’s been very good since coming back on June 18 is likely the most challenging
August 5, 2025Aug 5 8 runs with two outs and no one on, have not seen that since the CUBS did it against the phillies around 30 years ago, and Realmuto was out at first

August 5, 2025Aug 5 I don’t think bader is going to be what victorino was. Imo can be like 2010-2012 (less of 2011 and more 2010)Victorino in 2010: .259/.327/.429/.756 18 HR 69 RBI2011: .279/.355/.491/.847 17 HR 61 RBI2012: .255/.321/.383/.704 11 HR 55 RBIBader in 25: .253/.333/.438/.771 13 HRs 41 RBIHe’s a really good fielder. IMO just play him everyday in CF. He’s better splits wise than anyone you are platooning in LF. Just start marsh in LF and platoon him with kemp and have bader start everyday.

Hopefully him getting under .200 and bader starting to produce shuts the door on kepler altogether and bader is the everyday cf moving forward

Need someone to platoon with him that can. Could do Sosa but he’s not good as an OF. They really needed kemp to hit consistently vs. LHP to be that guy. Kepler sucks. And frankly they won’t bring up Crawford to platoon with marsh even though he hits LHP well in the minors.Marsh vs. LHP: .200/.286/.260/.546Kemp vs. LHP: .286/.375/.514/.889Kepler vs. LHP: .196/.274/.399/.673Wilson vs. LHP: .188/.316/.219/.535Sosa vs. LHP: .324/.390/.486/.877

And yeah agreed I think that’s why they’re trying Wilson too. Sucks we’re still really one great right handed bat away from honestly being a very complete lineup

Sucks we’re still really one great right handed bat away from honestly being a very complete lineupWhat makes it more frustrating is that it’s been 2.5 years that we’ve known this, and they haven’t fixed it. I still think the thing that holds them back from winning a World Series is going to be the lineup. really that middle of the lineup right handed power bat. It would give them protection to the top of the lineup. And it puts guys in better spots in the lineup where they’ll have more success. To me the difference between being the World Series favorite and what we feel Now after adding Duran is that RH bat
