    I can’t imagine why they just don’t platoon Abreu and Singleton. Even if Singleton is not the answer, maybe you could squeeze out a little more production from them through a platoon.

    I hope that infield single with 2 outs doesn’t hurt us

    Javier is battling but he's still not what the team needs him to be.

    Just have Maldonado bunt in these situations so there's at least a chance he will contribute something

    Watching with my son. “The only pitch Maldonado didn’t swing at was 83 down the middle.”

    “Yes, boy. That’s the Maldy special.”

    Honestly, what we really need is someone who can throw for less than zero runs. Anyone available on waivers?

    A great Maldy AB is him not hitting into a double play!
