    Jesus Jeremy. A strikeout would have been great.

    Pena needs a reality check. Give him a day off to reset. Or, dare I say it...... a trip to AAA.

    Peña striking out is best case scenario. Keep batting him second Dusty!

    Probably should’ve had Diaz PH there and put in Dubon at SS. Oh well

    Space Cowboys...
    When did they kill the original Peña that was World Series MVP and replace him with this clone?

    Put Bregman in the two hole, Peña needs to figure out his swing batting 7,8,9

    The problem is he's even worse when he's batting lower in the order.

    Seriously. Just don’t swing and let the outcome be what it is. At least Tucker would still be coming up.

    he got hot last year at the right time.
    Needs to keep working on it, maybe next year he breaks out like Chas this year.

    So far, bad game by the pitching and bad game by the offense

    Recipe for a bad game

    Still more chances though

    What’s the point in the trades if you’re gonna Montero?

    Peña should be hitting 8th at best. Even Maldy is more of a threat.

    He has been pitching a tad bit better.

    Yeah, but turning the order over in a rally and then having Pena kill it is far worse.

    One of your three worst bats in the regular nine should not bat 2 hole no matter what.
