May 28, 20251 yr Author I don't think you guys want to know who is playing 2b in Jacksonville right now.Hint: it rhymes with hacob ferry.
May 28, 20251 yr Author Rydawg, can you help me out with my kids math word problem:If it's 2338 miles from San Diego to Jacksonville and Ronny Simon can walk at a 4mph pace, if he starts immediately after the game ends when does he arrive in Jacksonville?

Hard to watchMy hatred for Clayton's managing style got the best of me and I was really angry so I didn't show any compassion for Simon. I did feel bad for him after I simmered down. I still don't think he belongs on the roster, though.

Also, why wait till the game ends?
May 28, 20251 yr It's just the fate of a rebuilding team, manager and players all want to win games with a three run lead (yesterday ) and six run lead (today ) but they just CAN'T.

Figure it out in AAA
May 28, 20251 yr His underlying stats show that Ronny Simon will probably give you some value with the bat in the long run. He has a pretty good walk rate. Really good strikeout rate. He won't be a 30 homer guy, but once he has adjusted to big league pitching, I do think that around 10 homers with enough doubles and triples to maintain a healthy SLG is very achaivable if he's getting starting reps. He's also a pretty good baserunner. The defense though will likely always be a liability. Definately think he is good enough to be a valuable bench asset by the time our competative window opens up.
May 28, 20251 yr And sure, Ronny Simon is the primary reason why we lost yesterday. But the Marlins lose to the A's if he doesn't work a gutsy 7 pitch walk against Mason Miller a couple minutes before Stowers hit the walk off grand slam. A lot of rookies would have crumbled in that spot. The potential tying run was at second. He could have chased trying to be the hero. He got the job done there.
