Honestly, my biggest problem is Baker. I feel he's costed us having one more title. Nothing he does makes any sense and it's frustrating. I kinda nitpick at every mistake he makes
to be fair I think he’s done a masterful job in the post season each year. He just always seems to get hamstrung by the offense going MIA. In all seriousness, what do we think about Yuli? Is he done?
2B R ALTUVE, Jose LF L BRANTLEY, Michael 3B R BREGMAN, Alex DH L ALVAREZ, Yordan RF L TUCKER, Kyle SS R DIAZ, Aledmys 1B S GOODRUM, Niko C L CASTRO, Jason CF R SIRI, Jose For the visually impaired.
With Goodrum and Diaz in for Pena and La Pina, it might be a low scoring affair for the good guys. Hope Odorizzi has another quality start in him.
I keep accidentally clicking off 790. I'm moving it into a new window and minimizing it to try to prevent accidental closure. Now I just have to stay awake while listening to a low offense game.
Hard to say on Yuli. I know Springer a little bit and Yuli told him his back was bothering him a lot. He also said his wrist speed hasn't been the same since last year. It's a viable concern but players talking to each other often is filled with excuses so who knows. I think those responses add up to everything my eyes are telling me but don't want to jump the gun @Nook heard anything similar
I gave up golf after battling a bad back, Not being able to see the ball wasn't enough. But it was fun knowing you can watch the ball go out of sight even in the middle of the fairway.
They've been high scoring enough LOL, but only due to very good outings by the starting pitching. Now consider that you'll technically be downgrading 4 spots when it comes to offense with Siri having a lower OPS than McCormick, Diaz having a lower OPS than Gurriel, Castro having a lower OPS than Maldonado, and Goodrum having a lower OPS than Pena and IMO that gives one reason to question how the offense will fare. Of course, when it comes to baseball, you never know. Guys can randomly get hot and the long ball potential of the team is still really high with Yordan, Bregman, Altuve, and Tucker.....and that's why I don't bet on baseball.
