Me too. I didn't realize he's now hitting .269 for the season. I know BA isn't everything. But this is a huge from Chas Mendoza. I'm very surprised a guy with Gamel's league avg talent became available over the WW.
Apparently Bregs really isn't hurt as bad as we thought. Espada wants righthanded bats against a LHP. 3 runs or less will be scored tonight unless Alvarez/Yanier hit HR's with guys on base. This is a putrid lineup. How come Whitcomb isn't in the lineup? Put him in LF. He played there a lot in the minors. SMH.
The auto out brigade. Estrada needs to hold up 3 fingers when they come to the plate for an auto out (to avoid any possible double plays)
Pena has a shot. Good thing is Orioles bottom 4 doesn't look much better than ours so maybe we win 2-1
i would rather Bregman at 1st and Whitcomb at 3rd then have to play Dezenzo. His at-bats have been ugly.
He got a hit yesterday and this team would benefit from him being able to hit. Helping him adjust to MLB requires him playing not sitting on the bench. He has sat quite a bit. He needs to play some.
AAAA LHP for the O's today...no reason not to start Chas (other than pray he doesn't have to throw the ball to HP or hit the cutoff man on less than 3 hops or whatever)
