Dubon needs more PT, preferably at 1B...

Dubon, Joey L, Diaz, Caratini, Blummer - all better options at 1B.

That may be the best definition of a walking lead I've ever seen.

You cannot continue to trot out a 1B batting .100 with no power who is also a severe defensive liability just hoping he figures it out.
I understand Peña should have taken his time and make a better throw but any decent fielder, not even great, gets off the bag and prevents the run.
We have to make a move

Between these two guys it's roughly 100 total pitches in 2 IP.

That's … yeah I got nothing.

Seriously….how much longer are we going to sit here and do nothing at 1B?? I understand he's a veteran, and I know he's a pretty classy guy, but JFC we have to do something over there.

Although most of my posting on Joey Gallo is tongue in cheek, there is an effect of it known as:
The Gallo Line.

This it the point in your baseball fandom when you look at a guy on your team, you look at Joey Gallo's body of work (such as it is), and you realize, I would rather have Joey Gallo than this guy.

That moment has come, probably 2 weeks ago honestly, with Jose Abreu.

Sadly it comes down to Crane bc it's his money that has to be lit on fire. He doesn't seem like the type to do that, especially when he's got some "expert" former players who love the old guys telling him "oh he'll turn it around:.

Abreu sucks and is batting .087 but remember Loperfido has a 37% strikeout rate with only 10 homeruns in 2 weeks. So clearly Abreu is the better option

They try to back-pick Olson at first and Abreu isn't even standing with 2 steps of the bag.

I know you know it's not that simple, and maybe it should be, but I have a post ready to go after the game in support of your opinion.

Reminded me of a time I saw Hakeem go up against Shawn Bradley. Hakeem did his spin move one way, then back the other, and Bradley hadn't even gotten through his first step on the spin move.

Spencer will be a lot better if he can keep more of his "chase" pitches closer to the plate. They miss by so much

Really liked that bounce back inning from Arrighetti. That shows something.

I less than 10 minutes Murph has dropped Jackie Robinson and Althea Gibson as people he knew.

That's just amazing.

"I had to go home and put some liniment on my legs." Murph

Yeah, that man grew up in a totally different era.

Our 8 run per game streak needs to get extended tonight. I'm thinking the 4th inning is where we start hammering him

3 IP and 134 total pitches. Neither of these guys is going to scare Greg Maddux.

Did Acuna just go Carlos Gomez and break his helmet? Listening to the radio call...
