    Gomez had, at least, 2 blunders in the field.... both led directly to runs.

    Gomez did do a good job not swinging at the pitch that hit him. He didn't get caught stealing either, so that's a plus

    Other than that, Dev could get major blame, but his play wasn't blooper-esk.

    Last year marisnick had a nice WAR and it was not because of his offense

    We can all b**** and moan all we want ! We can blame Hinch or this or that player but in the end you just have to look at 5-9 hitters batting averages, starting pitching especially from your top 2 pitchers and bone head plays running the bases and fielding ! All a recipe for a bad team so far !!!!!

    Bat's been terrible but at some point you have to stop the bleeding.

    And that WAR was built on a huge April where he had an OPS over 1.000

    Jake is a bad baseball player right now and should be at AAA

    So Gomez is accountable for a whole host of opponents runs and Jake gets criticized? Ok.

    Yeah... pretty much sums it up. Turnarounds are always possible... but not if your supposed ace and half the lineup is suspect.

    So since Gomez is horrible

    No one else can be criticized?

    Don't understand your logic man

    Huh? Jake and Tucker ARE the young guys.

    Inevitably, not all options for the future are going to be in-house.... but again, that's how you get stuck with potential Gomez'.

    We were replying to Cangre's post ! He was saying that Jakes WAR was so good last year and that's why he should play this year

    Until real changes are made on this team, I'm no longer wasting my time on them.

    Hinch did not pinch hit for Gomez, another bad move by the manager

    Problem is the only OF possibility right now is Kemp

    Bregman could be a possibility out there after super 2 passes
