LOL... LeBlanc is raking in AAA and Jerar already has 3 HRs and a very good average since going to AAA, but we go with Astudillo... OK, then.

Get ready for a guy who doesn't deserve it to get a whole lot more playing time than anyone thinks he will!

OF COURSE

Also Bender on the IL suddenly and maybe that's why he's been not good this year maybe possibly?

Meh, he was already struggling a bit near the end of last season, I think hitters just started to figure him out.

Willians Astudillo is the spark plug the Marlins need to get over their slump and back in contention!

 

You heard it here first fellas.

Pensacola is 19-16 and in the playoff hunt. Why would you want to take their best players???

[AeroFishOne]

More and more this is looking like the same plot as last year. With half way decent coaching and management decisions we could be competitive but yet again they are showing they had no real intention on winning.

Yeah. The problems start at the top and continue downhill. This team has issues at ownership, at general manager and at manager.

Jerar's BABIP is like .475 this year. LeBlanc .441. These guys are probably hitting a true mendoza this year with some batted ball over performance. It's not like Astudillo is great, but he's probably better than these guys with the elite K rate. We got a lot of things to bitch about and this isn't one of them.

You really, really love your BABIP.

Agree to disagree

I came here to say the same thing. Ha

It's called playing the guys who are hot when they're doing well. Astudillo is never going to be anything special so why not play the hot hand for the moment until some of the regulars come back?

It is a fantastic indicator of future performance. It's comical how high their BABIPs are. Maybe you are a Jorge Alfaro fan though and thought his 2018 was for real?

This is like telling me let's agree to disagree the sky is red - no. The sky isn't red. Science and data are real in all aspects of life. They are radically overachieving and if you don't agree, you are wrong. Sorry

But they aren't doing well. Luck is not doing well. It's not a hot hand. It means the bottom drops out imminently.

Also, let's talk roster strategy. If they DFA Astudillo he clears right? Or who cares? So no harm done. Once you put a more important longterm asset on the 40 man, they now have less flexibility with moves. Jerar is a maybe keep for next year. Leblanc needs to do A LOT but could normalize next few months and be something. Putting these guys on the 40 could prevent a different move or make them DFA someone who is valuable and they'd otherwise keep. It's dumb. 

Second, they should be calling up Lewin Diaz if they need a hitter as everything about his stats says he's for real, he's on the 40, and he showed some promise last year, but I guess this is a positional concern so Astudillo it is. If you want to bitch - it's Lewin not Jerar or Leblanc by a mile. Lewin is better than all these guys right now.

Third, we can also say if not a lot of PA are coming the way of this roster position, let LeBlanc, Bleday, Burdick, Devers, and Lewin keep hitting every day in the minors. That's probably the call up pool. That can only help them versus riding a bench for weeks.

 

There is so much to complain about some of you just complain to complain to have a pity party. Have some perspective. They did nothing wrong here at all. Astudillo is likely immediately better than those guys even if he is nothing special. It is what it is. Now, if he gets a lot of time at 1B coming up, I'll agree immediately why not Lewin? That would make no sense at all.

I was politely telling you I am moving on from this conversation, but you come on here like some kind of fucking Know-It-All putting other people's ideas and opinions down.     Who the fuck made you a baseball god?  Lighten up, JFC...

Absolutely not. But BABIP isn't that indicative of future performances.

And, yeah, chill out with the know-it-all act lately. We all know the FO sucks and should spend and we need a center fielder and redundancy at positions. That isn't some revelation you've brought to us.

I think it's important to have a basis of knowledge for positions - would love to be shown I'm wrong as that mean something has been learned.

A .450 BABIP is not sustainable - any thoughts on 40 man, position, and playing time in developing the kids?

I know it's not sustainable, but nobody is acting like he's going to save the team. lol. You really hate hot streaks. Let people enjoy things.

But it's not hot and setting ourselves up for even more disappointment! 

But fine. I'm just saying - let's be a knowledgable fan base. There are many reasons to not call up Jerar/Bleday/Burdick and so many things to bitch about. This isn't one of them. Not even close.

We've got some pretty good, smart posters here who, like yourself, just want the team to put itself in the best position to win. Calling up Astudillo, Erik Gonzalez, Tommy Nance, et al isn't it. Deven Marrero multiple times last year. The short bench consistently last year. A good number of the moves this year. It's awful. We're all aware of that as well.

Nobody thinks Jerar/Bleday/Burdick/almost anyone is the savior of this team. But they may well put us in somewhat better position to win. And that's what we want, the urgency, the attempt to be better with the team we have right now.

The other things to bitch about are offseason bitchings at this point.
