He's such an enigma. He looks fantastic one inning and awful the next.

He’s just terrible from the stretch. Given how many guys he walks, this adds up. He just does so many little things poorly (pitch from stretch, hold runners, etc)

I do wonder why in the hell is McCann hitting so high in the order this spring?  

My guess: Hamels is lefty, and he's a career .797 ops hitters vs. lefties, and so this year we are going to see a whole bunch of terrible platoons.

That would make sense if Beef was left-handed.

Edit: just checked Beef's career splits. Yep, he's great against lefties. Grab a first-base glove for one of them and get them both in against lefties.

Brooks Boyer pushing product right now as we enjoy watching Giolito try to pitch baseballs riding a unicycle.

 

These are never interesting but it has felt more than ever like the manager, boyer, etc sound defeated knowing they are pushing trash.

I didn't call them good platoons!
