Can Josh Bell play center field?
Bell at Catcher
Contreras at DH
Maldonando in CF

Oh man, if you think the rampage over Contreras was bad the past few days, imagine what would happen if dusty started putting the pear in center field.
4D chess- think how good Maldy could position the fielders and call the game from CF just yelling signals into the pitcher.

Living with Chas is very difficult for me to stomach as well, fwiw.

Chase a slider
Pulled groundout
Occasional homer

The three true outcomes.

Score yet another one.

I've said it before, and it still holds true: Jake is not the answer in CF. Neither is Chas. They are placeholders until Leon is ready.

So we need to trade for Bell, would like to trade for Contreras, would like Castillo to keep him away from the Yankees, can we swing another center fielder?

Jake is providing zero value. If we are going to have a center fielder who is gonna strike out all the time, bring Siri back up and let him play every day. At least he might play good defense.

At what % is Brantley injured better than Chas/Jake in the lineup? I feel I'd take 15% Brantley full health over Chas at the plate right now.

If they don't pitch to Yordan or Tucker, it's an L.

EDIT: Sorry, ANOTHER L. To the A's.

What?? Chas is having the best month of any CF this year on this team... Just start Chas and bench Meyers. Siri is the definition of a AAAA player.. he's a god in AAA and blows in the show

I just don't get why the kid has learned nothing. It's the exact same thing time and time again. He refuses to adjust to the slider.

Doesn't it feel like the script for every game we've lost to these clowns is the same?!?!?

Give up one big inning, chip away and then completely stall against their bullpen.

McCormick is fools gold. Sell high and count your blessings.

Chas is far too inconsistent. Here's an analogy you'll appreciate. He's Tyler White with a few home runs here and there.

We all know Chas is not very good vs RHP, so why Dusty put him in the leadoff spot is a piece of logic only he understands. I guess with guys having the day off or being injured, what else were we gonna do...Dubon? lol

I'll take inconsistent instead of nonexistent... Siri is by far the worse of the 3, bringing him up makes the team worse. Ride the hot Chas

I'd be fine dealing McCormick. He's below average arm and we've pretty much seen what we're going to get from him behind the plate. I hate that Jake is sucking right now and hope he works out of his funk…

I wish Brantley was back and only having to deal with one outfielder with a sub .235 BA each game.

It was actually a good thought to lead him off

So I farted
Then in an hour
Just by chance
I thought I farted
But the Astros were playing the A's

Another way to look at things is this...why are we criticizing guys like Chas so hard in a bad game when stars like Bregman have awful games night after night?

Because Bregman has another 40-50MM that we owe him… he deserves every bit of the same criticism but nothing we can do about it.

Doesn't that mean Bregman should get even harsher criticism than the cheaper player?

If the slider off the plate didn't exist, Bidge woulda hit .400
