Baez had to be one of the worst contracts out there.

Get ready for a Singleton pimp job around the foul pole

I personally don't want him to fail and also understand what he's doing is simulated game action

But I have to admit also that I have zero interest in him coming back at the moment. Would it be great if he did find the fountain of youth and figure it out, sure. Do I believe that will happen, no. So do I want him coming back and disturbing what's going on currently. Sadly no.

Come on guys. Some of you genuinely want him to fail and it's obvious. I will never understand that line of thinking.

6-7 ABs against live pitching per day is a good amount. Plus hours of work in the cage and on the fields.

He's working his ass off. It's really sad what he's gone through. I hope he figures it out and contributes down the road.

You gotta lighten up. If I want to imagine Jose Abreu embodying Jimmy Buffets lyrics to Margaritaville, showing up to BP wearing flip flops, a Hawaiian shirt and swinging a ukulele as a bat, it doesn't mean it's true. The guy was MVP a few years ago. Now he's playing rookie ball. We're going to poke fun. It's a message board. As the wisdom of many 12 step programs says, take whar you like and leave the rest.

Pork I love your word smithery answers. The mental picture you painted here is fabulous.

Yeah I imagine there's some great AI engine out there that could dial it up pretty well. I've only ever used Bing and it stopped letting you use famous people though.

Ok buddy, point taken. I will stfu about your posts.

And I'm not saying he needs to be back today or tomorrow or ever. I'm just saying I hope he figures it out. I'm just not the type to kick someone while they're down but that's just me

I hope he comes back in some form. Regardless of what Porkchop said, there are definitely people who seem like they want him to just be gone permanently. I feel bad for the guy and respect the hell out of him for doing this assignment to at least try to get something back. This thread is full of dicks when it comes to our players who aren't performing well and the attacks are a huge turn off. There is crap on seemingly every page, which is nothing new on this site where people **** on college kids all the time.

8-2 homestand should be the goal. Have to start digging out of the hole.

Just. Win. Series.

Guys getting paid millions of dollars a year to play a game at a very high level hopefully are tough enough to handle a little criticism when they don't perform at the level they are being paid to perform.

Where's ****ing Toro?

The team has dug themselves so deep of a hole that I don't think they can afford to even give Abreu a chance at the majors again this year. If he has enough success in FL to justify coming back, and then he comes back and lays an egg, they don't have a big division lead they can fall back on.

walking back to the dugout thankfully

Haven't watched the past few games. When did breggy start wearing a do rag?

Cmon blue

Spaghetti got screwed by blue there

Got some spicey Spaghetti sauce tonight.

Ghetti getting it done so far

Good first for Spaghetti.

I literally love Jose Altuve, but man it sure would be nice for him to work some counts

oppo single for Tucker

Julia sounded nervous the top of the first but seems to be calmed down now. I can't imagine the adrenaline and stress/pressure for that first half inning for her. Blummer is also doing a great job to help her out.
