I have watched godbout in the field and if I am being honest, he is barely adequate defensively. He reminds me of a hang’em chaim kind of player!!! high contact hitter, but low defensive profile

At Worcester - seigler with his 1st tater and Lloyd with his 1st tater of the season. Castro with his 5th tater of the season. at Portland - turner with his 3rd tater of the season. at Greenville - Gonzales with his 5th tater of the season and godbout with his 5th tater of the season!

You beat me to it today. Witherspoon had given up 1 run when he left, but Webb gave up 2 hits and the 2 runners on base when Witherspoon left easily scored.

Samenmeigo has earned his place on the team

At Worcester - Campbell with his 2nd tater of the season. Gaspar with his 5th tater of the year at Portland - Baez with his 3rd tater of the year. Username Garcia with his 4th tater. at Greenville - godbout with his 4th tater of the season at Salem - azocar with his 5th tater of the season. Heyman with his 4th tater of the year.

Tolle was amazing despite the bullpen trying to blow the save again!!! the Anthony wrist injury is troubling! Broken hamate bone???

The option kicking in and some interest from other teams have Gamboa the edge. I saw him pitch at Worcester and did not see anything promising. I think kahnle has the best stuff of the 3, but the arm strength is not there yet!

At Portland - username Garcia with his 3rd tater of the year! Taylor with his 1st tater. at Greenville - white with his 5th tater of the year. slaten began his rehab in Portland. mullins up next and had 10k’s

At Worcester - Castro with his 4th tater of the year. Hickey with his 1st tater of the year. another poor pitching day overall on the farm.

At Worcester - gaspar with his 4th tater of the season. Capra with his 4th tater as well. at Portland - username Garcia with his 2nd tater of the season. Turner with his 2nd tater as well, at Salem - king with his 4th tater of the season!

Cespedes still has huge strike out and chase numbers. Not sure he has improved much at all,

I watched bello pitch this this fiasco and I see two problems: 1.) his breaking stuff has no bite! Everything is loopy and location is terrible! I believe his arm is dead (or should I say dragging behind the body) due to the wbc and not building up arm strength properly before going all out. When gray gets back off the injured list. Bello needs time to go down to fort Myers and rest the arm and then rebuild the strength properly so his breaking pitches are sharp again. 2.) who messed with the pitch selection? The percent of cutter sinker change and 4 seamers is mirroring crochet’s pitch selection and way different from what he threw last season. I understand that his pitches are not sharp due to the WBC, and if he cannot get the change up or the cutter over for strikes, it leads to more juicy 4 seamers over the heart of the plate, but his pitches are so predictable. Even a Yankees fan can predict what he is throwing next!!! Let’s bring him back to the pitch mix he used last season after his arm strength returns!! He is not crochet by a long shot!

At Salem - hodge with his 1st tater. at Greenville - cespedes with 2 taters giving him 6 on the year. encarnacion with his 5th tater. Guzman with his 2nd tater. at Portland (doubleheader) - turner with his 1st tater. Username Garcia with his 1st tater (off of Garrett Cole no less. A golf type swing of the bat as well) and Ferguson with his 4th tater!

Thanks, I was confused about that too!

I believe eyanson started the national championship game. He has big game experience

I agree 100 percent. gray, Oviedo and now crochet on the DL! Another reminder that you can never have too much depth in starting pitching.

Greenville with 5 taters. Gonzales 4th, cespedes 4th, encarnacion 4th, godout 3rd. And yophery 6th, Salem had opata 2nd, heyman 2nd, azocar 4th.

I think Cora and the other coaches rent a plane to take them to Philly and they hang out with desperate Dave

Or maybe none of the bullpen arms available enticed bres-slow enough?? regardless, I still think he gets another shot at improving the bullpen at the trade deadline

Is it time to sit Duran and let yoshida dh????

I watched Mayer a lot in the minor leagues. Love the swing and the eye at the plate. he has the ability to be a perennial all star with big numbers! I think he just needs time to work on pitch recognition because he did miss so much baseball due to injuries the past 3 years!

I was perfectly happy to see Bregman leave. I wish him nothing but success going forward, except when they play us!

Have you watched duran’s at bats??? Ouch!!! Dude is confused and has no plan when he gets in the batters box!

I think bres-slow’s offseason was, for the most part, money!!!! But he should have done more to sure up the bullpen!! I think some of the pitchers were hurt by a lack of work caused by the wbc: Suarez, Whitlock, weissert, and bello! Innings jump 24 to 25 has given crochet a bit of a dead arm. i think the hitters got caught in the middle of a power play between bres-slow and Cora. bres-slow - wanting to develop the youngsters (hitting, fielding, base running and other fundamentals development), while adhering to the philosophy of drivetime (launch angles and hitting the ball in the air)! cora - veteran loyalty. Time served and dues paid. Youngsters have to earn playing time, very little working with the youngsters on developing fundamentals, because Cora thinks big leaguers should know this stuff already. and most importantly, Cora and fatse not emphasizing the principles of drivetime! I think bres-slow’s philosophy is the best route for our team going forward and I think he is trying to unify the organization top to bottom under his one philosophy! The problem is bres-slow is a poor communicator and really needs to enroll in a dale Carnegie course!!!

Should yoshida replace Duran in the lineup???
