    lol I think my logic was that the opposite would come true, and I decided to apply that same logic to the sex of the person as well.

    *Puts Maeda in the bullpen*

    Immediately let’s him throw 4 innings anyways and he gets shallacked the 2nd time through the order. Isn’t that literally the reason to put him in the bullpen?

    Literally what the fuck?

    Take back everything complimentary I wrote about Maeda.
    Fuck him.
    Could never trust his weak ass this long in a tight, more important game.
    You get two scoreless from him...praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
    Some staff we've got going on now...

    I really do not see a place for Kike Hernandez on the postseason roster.

    Kike: .244/.315/.439/96 wRC+

    Even facing LHP, he is just barely league average. Not the masher against southpaws he once was. His defense, base running, and field awareness this season has been putrid as well.

    Taylor can play SS, 2B, and CF as a back-up (or starter if somebody gets injured or falters). Yes, CT goes through periods of swinging and missing inside the strike zone, but he is clearly a more capable offensive player than Kike.

    If Gavin Lux performs even close to the level Seager did in 2015, he will likely be given the opportunity to start at 2B (at the very least against RHP, maybe LHP too depending on how he fares in September).

    That means Muncy slides to 1B, and will likely be backed up by David Freese...another guy who can hit both RHP and LHP off the bench or in a spot start role. This also solidifies Cody's permanent stay in the OF.

    Speaking of the OF, Verdugo and Bellinger both hit LHP. Joc doesn't, but Pollock or Taylor are more likely to be his platoon partner than Kike is.

    Add the fact that Beaty is a contact hitter, I like him in a PH role far more than Kike. Yes, Beaty is LH, but Freese can be the RH answer.

    There are so many "Kikes" on this team now that are way better than him. Maybe he makes it as an emergency SS...but idk.

    Said it a million times, but the only thing more mediocre than Dave Roberts the player is Dave Roberts the manager.

    I didn't see how Kenta gave up 3 but my guess he was trying to throw strikes and induce contact w the team up by 10 maybe?

    I'm not a roster guru, but I really don't see Kike deserving a spot. If they need an emergency SS, let Negron play and pinch run. He's just the type of random, fast, scrappy guy who could bring some magic.

    Catchers

    Smith
    Martin

    Infielders
    Turner
    Seager
    Lux
    Muncy

    Outfielders
    Bellinger
    Verdugo
    Pederson
    Pollock

    Utility
    Taylor
    Freese
    Beaty

    Pitchers
    Kershaw LHP
    Ryu LHP
    Buehler RHP
    Urias LHP
    May RHP
    Gonsolin RHP
    Jansen POS
    Baez RHP
    Kelly RHP

    Then you have a couple spots for Hill, Maeda, LOOGY guy whose name starts with a K, Sadler, idk. Opponent and health will be a factor.

    Lux will have to stay on fire for the rest of the year for it even to be a conversation
    Kike has playoff experience and Davey will go w that guaranteed

    All I can say to that is I hope common sense prevails.
    Even if Lux is not "on fire", Kike has a .315 OBP and a .439 SLG. He's horrible.
