    Easier said than done without the guy that has been the biggest difference-maker on this offense for the entire season, and is currently being replaced in the lineup with Marwin Gonzalez (which also forces Gattis to play the field, which makes the defense overall worse).

    They may need to make a move to get another quality hitter in here to off-set the Springer loss.

    Marwin might force himself into being an everyday player if he keeps this up. I bet he'd look real nice manning first base.

    Gonzales has two hits today. The team's biggest problem is the 1B position. I do agree a quality bat may be needed more than pitching, specifically at 1b.

    Catcher is also a very weak hitting position...

    i don't know the rules of catchers blocking anymore. Was that legal? No one's complaining, so I assume it was.

    Conger needs to be playing more. Obviously a small sample size but had a .931 OPS in June.

    He hasn't even picked up a bat yet. It will be trade deadline at the earliest.

    Not sure why Castro is even in the lineup today against a lefty. Good time for Conger.
