1. We have been having some form of this fielding conversation since at least when Reddick began slowing down in RF.Lonestar_Ag09 said:
It's hilarious to me that it just takes Jake literally one game with a HR and multiple RBI and the entire pendulum switches to "maybe there's a reason" "maybe his defense is good enough" "is Julks trade off different" blah blah blah.
It's baseball it's a grinding marathon and y'all swing on a whim constantly like Tarzan in a tree.
All I've been saying for the whole season is exactly what just got discussed, the organization knows these calculations and they understand this team, these players and this game way better than any of us. If they feel Jake has a spot on this roster and routinely in a lineup there is a reason for it.
2. Congratulation on being the first guy to give the organization credit for knowing their stuff. That's a novel concept and explains how we got 2 rings. You should think about Chandler Rome's vacated spot - you've got what it takes.
3. No one thinks just because Jake finally ran into one that he is going to stop sucking at hitting.
