Maldy has struck out 105 times in 308 plate appearances. Thats 34% K rate. At least he walks 8% of the time
But he's our starting centerfielder. Dubon is not better than Chas at centerfield other than his arm and his arm would be better served in right field.
I will say we have gone to less games this year because I don't want to buy tickets without without seeing the lineup. In the past, really only pitcher mattered to me. Avoid getaway games and pitchers you don't want to see and it will he an enjoyable experience. This year, my wife wants to see Framber or JV pitch, and I want to see Diaz, Meyers, and Chas. Though, she would go to a France game now.
Eh, not a fan of playing players at positions they never play (12 innings in RF for his career, all last season)
My wife wants to go out to dinner. I want to come back to a lead. Work on that (Tucker being out is worrisome).
Dusty leaving the other CF on the bench, in favor of an infielder to play his position, is cold blooded man. I know they aren’t little leaguers but that is messed up. I feel for Jake.
