We just look terrible-at home or on the road. This team has the talent to be competitive, but for whatever reason they are sleepwalking this year. Sad to see a team mailing it in like this.
This team sucks guys. Just two games over .500 and after this loss, one.
I enjoyed last year, as we all did, but this team will not be playing October baseball. They are sleepwalking.
While we could use a guy like Bumgartner I think our main need is not SP-its the bullpen. We don't need to give up Chavis to get a bullpen arm. Kimbrel is still out there.
Chavis at 2B is much better than Devers at 3B defensively. Devers is still playing despite his defensive liability; Chavis isn't going anywhere as long as he continue to hit and is better than Devers in the field.
I don't think he has played much 2B in the minors....could be wrong. He is still learning the position, so his footwork might be a work in progress. He has, overall, been a pleasant surprise so far.
Chavis came into this game with an OPS over 1.000. He is going to strike out. He is also going to hit some tape measure jobs. And he has looked decent defensively.
Are you happy being a .500 club after 38 games? I am not. 700 is right: it was a mistake by Cora not to have his SPs prepared to start the season. They will be digging out of the hole that he put them in for a long time.
