One thing I thought about yesterday….most of our games are going to be over around 9:30 with the new pitch clock rules, so I'm probably going to spend longer getting to and from the game than I'll actually be there at MMP. Rough considering ticket prices/parking/food.

But, on the flip side, I'll get so see watch more of the late west coast games on tv when ours wraps up.


That's an interesting perspective. If my criteria was that a game needs to last longer than my travel time going to and from it I guess I would never attend one. Same for a lot of other people.

I'm gonna laugh if Jake goes 3-4 tonight with a couple of RBIs
In all honesty the discussion shouldn't be Jake or Chas. It should Diaz or Chas. Put both Jake and Chas in the OF, and Yordan at DH.


I wonder when Crane will ask Dusty if he's willing to stake his career on Jake Meyers...I mean, wtf

I swore I would not complain about lineups but Chas needs to ask to be traded. Or pout and force Brown to trade him. This really makes no sense. None.
It is just so disrespectful for opening day. Dude was solid for us in a World Series run and he gets benched on opening day for the guy he beat out. Nothing in spring training says Meyers is a significant upgrade.

Happy if Meyers proves to be a great CF over the course of this year, but no reason ChazzyFizz doesn't get the opening day honors.

His career is already made, and way before it was, he was willing to stake it on way longer shots than this.

I know, I'm drawing the comparison to how Crane handled Click

yes I get it, and I'm telling you that while Click's career was mostly ahead of him, Dusty is a Hall of Famer on a victory lap and even before that I don't think he GAF about anything but his "gut".

ESPN breaking news: The New York Yankees are on pace for a 162-win season, which would be a new record.

How dare any of you question THE DUSTY BAKER?

See here?

Jake got a hit off of Cease. How many hits does Chas have vs Cease?

I rest my case.

Chas really should only start vs lefties. He's basically Maldonado vs righties

Jake was basically Maldy all of 2022.

If you look at 2021 only, Jake had a problem vs righties too. .676 OPS.

I'm not saying Jake is the better option. What this team needs is a lefty bat thar can play all 3 outfield positions…

Oh wait we have one but he is in Sugar Land

"He needs to be getting ABs. Chas is more of a bench player so this is a better role for him".

You don't have to tell me. I said that fatass would be ideal to platoon with Chas.

True, but he kicked ass in the DS and CS. Damn near a 900 OPS and 2 key HRs vs NY.

You think Chas feels insulted? Imagine being Christian Vazquez hitting 8th behind Joey Gallo opening day for the Twins.

Someone won't have any RBIs all year.
Harry Dunne

Yea and I would have given him the start.

I just think everyone remembers him having a great World Series because of "the catch" but in truth he kind of sucked.

A man who's built like Thor and runs like Bolt would be ideal to platoon with just about anyone, including Chas

2 run bomb off Degrom, Phillies up 2-0.

splits don't support that. Furthermore, vs the 4 seam fast ball Meyers has a walk/k of 0.42 (2021) and 0.17(2022) while Chazz has a walk/k of 0.39 (2021) and 0.82 (2022).

Jake might go off tonight, stats still don't support he is an offensive upgrade over Chaz and the disrespect of sitting Chaz next to Stanek in some kind of weird Dusty time out penalty box.

There's more discussion on the Ranger game on this thread than thee is on the Ranger thread.

Jeeze, Rutschman up to 4 for 4 with 4 RBI for Baltimore today. Is this the year they get to the playoffs?
