Yes. That, to me, is more plausible than him just not being good at baseball anymore. He was a stud last year and has never hit this poorly. Players go through rough patches. It’s 33% of a full season that we’re talking about. He’s not killing us batting in Maldonado’s spot and I never once saw you complain about Maldy’s hitting. You are a Dusty and Maldy truther, so you’re not gonna like Chas anyway. Took you forever to begrudgingly come around to Diaz.
I don't agree with Framber being taken out either. Abreu hasn't been exactly shutdown, a lot of traffic, etc.
Don’t like this at all. Unless Framber told Espada he was tired, this was a beautiful opportunity to get some rest before Red Sox come in. Still fear based managing.
I've been told it's just left to chance. All randomness that every team goes through. Espada is supposedly just fine in close games. That's what I've been told.
