May 1, 20224 yr Fun while it lasted. Some of Don's decisions again lead to poor results. Shocking. Oh well. Bring on Arizona.

May 1, 20224 yr Bottom line is, as usual they couldn't get a big hit with RISP when they needed it. They had plenty of opportunities to tie or take the lead that they let go by.......and Don's moves (IBB, shifts, etc) don't help on top of that.

I'm patiently waiting for the Marlins to open their eyes and try to give some playing time to De La Cruz. Idk how many hits he has to get to get a real opportunity.

Sanchez is the starting CF and they aren't going to sit their "expensive" UFA signings who patrol the other corner spots.
May 1, 20224 yr Good thing about winning streaks is they help to make the losses less important. Win the series vs Arizona and today's loss doesn't mean much. Keep moving forward.

We're six games into this 16 game run and already halfway to what I stated would be the minimal acceptable win amount for the stretch. Get a sweep of Arizona and just two wins away after that. It's a good start to this run.
May 2, 20224 yr So teams need to cut down roster to 26 players after today's game ? this team needs to cut three players if Floro comes back. Edited May 2, 20224 yr by taiwanmarlin

Get a sweep of Arizona and just two wins away after that. It's a good start to this run. The season is a best case scenario start. Starting 17-14 with two west coast trips would be an incredible start. But nothing is going to change until they get a longterm bat upgrade, which is effectively a CF.

Idk how many hits he has to get to get a real opportunity. .400 BABIP this year and .382 for career. The guy is probably an empty .230/.280/.350+ hitter. They should trade ASAP for a longterm CF massive upgrade and send him to AAA. I wouldn't bench any of Garcia, Soler, Aguilar, or Cooper for him. Let them work themselves out. They are all better and they frankly need them.

Given what everyone is doing, you'd hope they'd do something like this against RHP moving forward until things change. 2B Jazz LF Soler CF Sanchez 1B/DH Cooper SS Wendle 3B Anderson 1B/DH Aguilar RF Garcia C Stallings

May 2, 20224 yr The best three hitters in the lineup are left handed guys. Sadly they cant bat them all 1-3 like they would like to, that would just be a problem late inning a lot of nights. And well Mattingly.
