I heard Matheny talking about working in Holland. Trying to find him spots to pitch. I don’t understand why they brought up Holland if he wasn’t ready. Why not let him stay down there until he was ready? |
Better get someone ready quick because Norris sure as hell isnt a long term solution.

Carpenter does not look healthy. He doesn't seem either willing (or able) to go with any pitch away and the shift is killing him. His arm is atrocious. I like that he is still patient, but he looks relieved to take a walk. Lead off is not the answer. I know it is drastic but I would drop him down in the lineup and let him sit more until he proves he can produce. Let Gyorko play third. Keep Fowler hitting leadoff, followed by Pham, Ozuna, Martinez, Molina, DeJung, and Wong/Carpenter.
We can't afford Carpenter at 3rd on an everyday basis and you can't take significan at bats away from Martinez. Best fit for him is 2b where he is also a defensive liability, and at least right now not even an offensive upgrade there either. We missed our chance to collect big on him in the off season. |

We need a #3 hitter. 3B is the obvious spot unless as part of the trade we open up a spot or get a SS and slide DeJong over to 3B. With our young pitching and a solid #3 hitter we can beat the Cubs and win playoff games. |
Carpenter was valuable when he could hit leadoff and play 2nd, not having to be the guy in the middle of the order.
He looks to be breaking down at this point anyway. |
The 2 and 3 hitters plus the bullpen management will doom what should be a pretty good team.
|
Yeah, the 2 hitter is really killing them
Eyeroll |
Trade for Odell Machado!
|
They tried to trade for Machado, and the Rams attempted to trade for Odell. I'm not sure what you think you're accomplishing with that?
