And you all wonder why I obsess over the need for a middle of the order, left handed bat. Well, that is your answer; so we don't have to watch Yonder's total ineptitude. This organization has long stated that it was a need, but they have not managed to find the right player. More ineptitude and it's getting pretty tiresome. And, the next impact bat, that will likely join this lineup is Robert, another RH hitter. I'm guessing that they are still hopeful that Alonso gets back to what he has been the last couple of years, which would be acceptable. But, I'm not holding my breath. In any case, at some point they will have to deal with the possibility that his option vests. Expand Surely, you jest. (and don't call me Shirley ). (Airplane, circa 1980) Remember, over the winter, when the Phillies owner said he would spend "stupid money" to build a championship team? Reinsdorf said something similar: "I will spend money stupidly" . They both delivered. Edited May 29, 2019 by bubba phillips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't understand that Expand That being said, the Sox decision to not sign either Harper or Machado looks pretty wise at this point. Harper: .232/.449/.807 111 wRC+ Machado: .266/.439/.788 110 wRC+ Is that worth $300M?

poppysox Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Jason talking about Garcia being 4th in the league with 50 hits for leadoff hitters. Gets his 51st while Jason was talking. Pretty good for a guy we don't talk much about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
