If you give him 650 PAs, he's at about 35 HRs and 100 RBI out of the gate.

Should we celebrate Dalbec's K-less night at the plate? It's only happened 6 times since May first. BTW, here is Dalbec's career line doubled to give him 634 PAs: .206 34 98 .287 OBP .460 SLG .747 OPS After showing signs of heating up and making an adjustment on holding the bat, Dalbec is now oh for his last 14.

It's certainly possible that after 19 games of futility, Santana gets DFA'd, picked up by someone else, and then starts hitting like 2018, again. I'd still like to see him DFA'd, when Arroyo returns, if not sooner, so I am not above the fray when it comes to reacting and possibly over-reacting to short or shorter sample size- based decision/opinion making.

Most everybody liked or loved the trade at the time, so maybe that was part of the limited hindsight analysis. Here I was hoping we might wrap up taking about the Mookie trade, yet Kimberly, AGon and even the Ruth trades are still on the table.

One game, but so far so good

Depends on the player's age, career numbers and maybe recent 300-1,300 PAs. I'd normally think 450-650 PAs may not even be enough. I realize being in a pennant chase magnifies the slumps, but it doesn't change how much time a player needs to snap out of a funk. The JBJ example is the extreme, but he got the chance to show sticking with him pays off. How many players never got that chance? Of course, his defense played into that choice, but the slump vs sample size aspect of his career still prove a point. Just this year, Renfroe was at .485 at the end of April! Those 19 games are more than Santana's slump. He was still at .604 after 94 PAs... which is way more PAs than Cordero got before we all were begging for his demotion. I can find more examples. Many more. I remember I wanted Santana called up to replace Cordero. YIKES! Santana has sucked while Cordero got hot in AAA. We'll never know, if we gave up too soon on Franchy's first look.

Case in point.

I'm for cutting Santana, yesterday, but I'm not sugar coating the fact that his sample size is smaller than Renfroe's was before he kicked into gear. I was for demoting Dalbec before he heated up a little. I was for demoting Cordero. I used the word "we" when I bashed ourselves over small sample sizes. How is that sanctimonious?

No 3 in a row and 4 out of 5? Showing faith in Vino?
-
This is NOT going to happen!

Pinch me, somebody!

Santana has not played half the season. His OPS has been below .791 for 15 games. Cordero did not come close to 1/2 year. Dalbec has started 58 games or 36% of 162 games. And some of us were calling for major changes after 2-3 weeks or a month.
-
Kike for Torres?
-
I hate the extra inning rule, but I hate long games more.
-
I actually felt the way you did, but wanted to check before I agreed. LOL
-
Huge night for Dalbec! WOW! (No Ks.)

Really? .739 OPS Against .508 2 outs, RISP .656 Late & Close .478 High Leverage
