He flails about every night. He’s bound to have some RBIs. If you can’t see how useless he is with a bat I can’t help You.
As far as “the hunt” goes., it will be over by the end of the week.
Look, you’re smart enough to realize that you can’t look at Rafaela in a vacuum. If he was the only black hole-or if there was only one or two more even-and everyone else was an offensive force-that’s fine. But on THIS TEAM we simply can’t afford him.
WAR counts. But when all your WAR is from defense and your team can’t score your defense is of secondary importance.
It’s embarrassing I have to explain this to some posters here.
That’s just WONDERFUL Max!
He’s still a bum with a bat. He’s not good enough. He’s just like JBJ when he started sucking-only good as a late inning defensive replacement.
If Yoshida had options I’d send him down too. I doubt Lowe has options. Rafaela had an OPS of .693 coming into this game. That is simply not good enough.
Our problem is scoring runs. Even though Rafaela has hits in this series he has been useless with a bat. He is hurting the team. I’d swap someone who is decent in the OF and might. be able to contribute offensively.
