But seriously, everyone here has seen Vaughn play defense. No one is solely relying on fangraphs to judge his defense though it’s always nice when stats back up your eyes. The fact is, even people that wanted nothing to do with him playing lf(myself included) will tell you he’s been much better out there than expected and he’s absolutely serviceable out there in his first year ever playing the position. You’re being stubborn just to be stubborn.

I always judge my outfielders defense by shoe size.

I wouldn’t shut him down but skipping him every now and again and maybe go to a 6 man rotation for a bit if the division lead affords it. I think you somehow need to manage his innings while not completely stopping him and starting him over if that makes sense.

That 1-0 game actually took place on my birthday during my Freshman year in Carbondale. 16 years later, I still remember Jacque Jones ruining my 18th birthday. What a dick.

Not sure if I agree that getting a Gallo or Marte is a must(I'd obviously love to have either) but I completely agree with what you said about Sheets. If you can sell high on Sheets right now or in a few weeks, go do it.

Yup, completely agree.

I almost wonder if Rick saw Eaton batting leadoff yesterday and said nope fuck this, we ain't doing that anymore.

I think Vaughn is gonna be just fine against righties. Like we should maybe keep playing him against them.

MLB Fun isn't fun at all.

Well that didn't work.

I think that's lawsuit worthy.

Ya, that's super strange.

Always worry about Cleveland. Always.

Yoan's a gold glover at 3b right now, don't mess with him.

Ya, I was pretty against the idea of throwing him out in left just cause I didn't want him to get hurt but he's been more than passable out there. Certainly not great at the moment but considering he's never played the position before he's done pretty well for himself.

Yup. lol.

I had the same thought. We couldn't even pinch run for Vaughn in the 10th yesterday because the only position player we had available on the bench was Yermin.

That's just seriously a incredible series win. If we're fully healthy our lineup would have included 5 guys today that weren't playing. Insane stuff.

Vaughn will be fine, he just needs to keep playing. I'm not 100 percent confident with Yermin but with where we're at right now he needs to keep being run out there too. He's certainly not as bad as he's been lately so hopefully things will average out a bit for him too.

I mean he's currently managing a first place team, maybe we can trade him for a second baseman?

There's literally one person in the world who thinks this. One.

I love the way Nick has been playing and this totally sucks but you're not all the sudden going to punt the season because you lose him. This team despite losing Eloy and Luis has proven to be extremely resilient all season. Unless they completely go into the tank here in the next month you're not trading Lynn or Rodon.

Oh this post isn't going to go well for you.

Just puts us in such a weird spot now too. I like being as aggressive as anyone but I'm not sure what the hell we can add without taking away from the Major League roster.

Damn it.
