I haven’t been able to watch many of the games this year so far but still following along. Gyrko not playing at least some of the time over Carpenter has been baffling.

so bat the guy hitting .324 for the season with an average against this team of .500 only play part time but let the guy with 105 AB’s this season hitting .152 play full time and hit 2nd? I feel like I’m in an alternate reality.

Before long I am sure Carpenter will need another "mental break" and hit the DL. 3 Runs scored in the lat 3 games combined. Last edited by Marcellus; 05-11-2018 at 07:03 AM.. |

On another note I am coming around to the idea of trading for Machado even if it is just for a short term rental since that shouldn't cost too much talent. They have a shot to make a run this year with someone like Machado in the middle of the lineup. They need a freaking #3 hitter. |

Probably want to have the extra reliever. He would be sitting until the next start. I like that he throws strikes, but he isn’t at least in my opinion going to be a top end starter. I see him as a middle to back end starter (e.g. Suppan, Lohse).

His K rate. He strikes out way more than he walks and since he isn't hitting for power at all its not a reasonable trade off. Like I said earlier he would rather walk than swing the bat.
I get the numbers show he is hitting into bad luck but I doubt that goes up a lot because part of that is he isn't even hitting the ball hard. |

His k rate is definitely higher, but a fair amount of that has been poor umpires strike zone or atleast I think I remember reading that |
