Pinch hitting Holt there was questionable but hardly horrific. He put up a decent 8 pitch at-bat which may have contributed to what followed.

It's a nice spelling, wrong or not. Makes it sound like a hair salon. -

Mookie is so freaking good that it's a shock to the system to see him struggle. If he gets hot he can still finish the season with an .850ish OPS. -
Sure, when in doubt, blame the manager.
-
Yeah, Castillo sort of got screwed twice, first by the old rule and now by the new one. They really have a dilemma on their hands if he continues to play well. Do they really want to pay him for 3 more years to play for the PawSox?

Mookie is still Mookie. -
I was just doing a little reading about Castillo's situation. What I hadn't realized was that the new CBA basically prevented teams from doing what the Sox did with Castillo and Craig anymore, removing them from the 40-man to get them off the payroll for tax purposes. Which was the right thing to do, I would say.

Or Lynn vs. Rodriguez. -
A lot of those struggles have to do with opposing pitchers having 'the book' on their strengths and weaknesses and changing how they pitch to them, don't you think?
-
Where did you get your pitchfork and torch - Home Depot?
-
Stanton might not be seeing a lot of good pitches to hit going forward. He might get the Barry Bonds treatment.
-
Maybe so, but you usually have a general idea what the other team is going to want in a trade because of the position they're in. Like when we traded with the White Sox for Sale, the return of Moncada and Kopech was about what you would have expected.
-
Mainly I see more guys crossing the plate.
-
The trick is you have to come up with a proposal that would make some sense for Miami. They would be especially interested in Benintendi, Devers, and Groome.
-
I care in the sense that it affects the team we see on the field. If there was no budget, Encarnacion would be on the 2017 team.
-
This makes no sense to me. You're saying that because Nunez, Devers and Beni are raking and we're scoring more runs as a result that you can now see fire and desire again.
-
I don't get the 'lack of fire and desire' thing. I don't see anybody loafing or missing games for suspect reasons. I see lots of bonehead mistakes on the bases, but that's different. I see lots of celebrating in the dugout which seems to indicate decent team spirit. Don't see the 'lack of fire and desire' thing.

What are we talking about?
-
Not many on this board, I would agree. What gets me is the commentators who make a big deal out of whether it's a save or non-save situation. Makes them sound incredibly stupid.
-
They are indeed 3-0 in his starts. I have to say I'm surprised that teams were able to pick up good bats for peanuts this year-Bruce, Duda, Nunez.
-
And that our offense should now be good because we have a big bat anchoring it!
-
But now we've got Raffy, so that's all changed.
-
I get your point, but I could also probably dig up a bunch of posts that say we can't hit good pitching LOL
-
Kimmi was talking about batting order, as in 'Mookie should not be hitting leadoff!' I'm not sure where the confusion is.
-
He would have improved our offense, pretty hard to deny that.
