8/14 vs Cubs
Is rather him get like that because he got out of his approach then just live with it like he did in years past.

I would prefer the minor league guys to be eased into the lineup rather than starting out the gate.

That’s fine. As long as he’s being patient and staying true with his approach that’s all that matters. Obviously he’s hot at the plate right now but I actually expect that number to go up through out the season. He isn’t really chasing anything anymore so that’s probably going to lead to the increase in walks once they start pitching him more cautiously.

I told y’all when we kept sending him down this year he looked miles better as a hitter. His approach has done a 180.

Upgrading 3B ?
Absolutely game for it. We can include BA in the sea as well. I’m fine with rolling into next year with LB, De La Cruz, a band aid fix like Hunter Renfroe if he’s available and somebody like JJ or Peyton Burdick being eased into the lineup. As long as we add a bat, improve catcher, and add a closer.

Upgrading 3B ?
Nobody is giving up on him especially with his performance when healthy. Guy was batting .240 and he’s never seen a pitch above single A. He doesn’t grade as a 3rd baseman though.

Brinson and De La Cruz
He could definitely go cold if it was something with his swing and he’s done changes to it BUT his approach is the biggest change and approaches don’t go cold. He’s way better vs breaking balls this year and walking more. That’s a sign of development instead of being “hot”. He knows what he wants to do and he’s adjusting as he goes. He struck out on outside 12-6 curves and noticed they started attacking outside. He read that, stayed away from it, and took advantage of a heater high and inside. A year ago, Brinson probably goes up there and Ks again.

You wasn’t intended to get you butthurt but since you want to be a dick… He has 123 MLB ABs this season and he’s batting .269. That’s a full season for some role players in the league. His slugging is up, his OBP is up, his RISP I up, His average vs. breaking balls are up, and his K’s are down meaning statically his approach his way better which FYI You don’t need to know those stats to see that it’s better Yet you’re worrying about 700 ABs that happened in the past? Yes. Please turn off your TV and quit commenting about baseball.

He did the same thing with Guenther yesterday and he got sent down.

Doesn’t matter what happened in his past. It’s about his ABs and approach right now and if you can’t tell he’s miles better of a hitter than he’s ever been then you shouldn’t be watching baseball.

Bro, is Rowson watching the same game we are? No reliever warming? At all?
-
8/9 at Padres
Nope. I think he’s up to 40 games now that he’s hitting .275 or better. That’s not a small sample size.

Just offer the job to Juan Pierre. Look at what he’s done with LB alone.
-

LB for the HR. He better start the rest of the way. He deserves it.
-
8/9 at Padres
He should be used in a utility role like Cronenworth. They should absolutely look for a improvement in the INF and catcher at least this offseason.
-
8/9 at Padres
Why are they all chasing the same 12-6 on the outside corner? Do they not talk to each other?
-
8/9 at Padres
We don’t have any depth in the INF. This front office has completely neglected the INF up until this International pool signing and draft.

Brinson and De La Cruz are long term options for us up here. I would actually suggest bringing up one of Bleday and Burdick and see how they perform. I would go with Bleday and ease him into playing. Then look at what we can do for the 3rd spot. Maybe trade for Reynolds, maybe go after somebody like Hunter Renfroe to add power and great D and ease Bleday into MLB baseball. Then we can shoot for a catcher, a Closer, and maybe any improvement in the infield somewhere and extend our bench.
