Puig needs a longer bat like Quint needed a bigger boat if he's going to stand as far away as he is now- it's true. Dude is at the extreme edge of the box...silly. Swiping at the outside pitch like a rusty gate again...is anybody watching?
Just leave him in the rest of the game and have him pitch tomorrow until his arm blows out and we never have to worry about his sorry ass again.
time to start using maeda out of the pen and stop trotting out this trash like they give us any chance
Starters are incapable of going more than 6 innings and everyone we trot out for the 7th inning fucking sucks. Great.
nah i like the team just jumping him and beating the living fuck out of him leave a bloody mess of a corpse in the philly dugout as a reminder
Yeah. Few days ago i thought maybe Seager as leadoff hitter to focus on taking pitches and not be as concerned with power swings. Just get on base. With Turner and his good walk rate after him and then puig bellinger taylor barnes grandal and whomever plays LF at 8. Then vs lefties seager taylor turner belinger barnes logan puig kike.
Honestly I’m fine with using Stripling there. Using baez yesterday was dumb but using Stripling, he’s had some recent success in the swingman role and now you see how he looks as a set up guy... he failed, you move on.
I don't understand why Stripling as a set up option was even a thing. Dude has had "middle reliever" written over him since he came up.
I'd normally agree if Sunday didn't happen... but these games don't mean anything I suppose. Still annoying to watch fail after fail though.
