Birk struck out swinging, BENCH HIM!

I'm not saying bench everyone. I'm just saying it might be worth trying something different. It's not like we haven't played around with who's in the outfield plenty of times this year.

Right, but Choruby is one of our best outfielders and has really improved at the plate quite a bit. It seems he's been hitting more consistently than Davis or Pennington
quote:Bigger arm and he looks smoother for sure, but hes not nearly as quick making the turn and he makes errors at the same clip. I'm not sure either has significantly better range than the other.quote:
And I stand corrected, Janca likely has a higher fielding % now than Homan given the 2 errors today. Either way, both are sub .915 fielders, there isn't a huge difference. And while Homan may make errors, he actually turns the DP very well. Janca turned 5 DP's in 24 starts and Homan has turned 18 in his 31 starts.
Janca is head and shoulders a better defender than Homan. If you watched any of the first half of the season this is easy to see

I'm with yall from yesterday, those Double doors behind home plate are kinda messing with me.
quote:He has to recognize its not a fastball to follow this rule. He's not recognizing the pitch, thats his biggest problem
Melton needs a red light on any pitch not a fastball. He'd be drawing a ton of walks.
quote:Agree. Still need his glove in the field.
Maybe if we put melton in the 8 spot

quote:Easier said than done. The lefty that made him look so foolish against OleMiss was throwing dirty changeups. The beauty of a change (and even a good slider), unlike a hook, is that it looks like a fastball for 55 feet.

Melton may just need a day off. At a minimum he needs to be in the 8 hole at this point. Put Moroney or Barash in the 5 hole between Birk and Banks
