Fans are still scratching their heads as to why JBJ was brought here. The runs that JBJ would save over Renfroe won’t be close to the amount of runs that Renfroe will produce over JBJ. It was a bad trade when it was made, and is a bad trade now.
I said when Evol threw batting practice to Houston on Tuesday that it could be a turning point one way, or the other, and it looks like a good turn when JBJ hits a HR last night, and Barnes gets a save tonight. Things at the moment are looking up.
Missed the due to my first lobster, and clam feed of the year, but as far as Whitlock goes I guess I didn’t miss much. As I’ve been saying all year to me he should be the closer.
Of course Story getting hot, and bashing the long ball has been the biggest help, but even like the bottom of the order getting a few hits like last night like JBJ, and Franchy coming off the bench, and coming through was a big help too.
