I feel bad he hasn't gotten a decision for a while now.

You're probably right, but shouldn't it be Montoyo to make those adjustments? They have the depth right! Semien Needs a break! He's played all games

He hasn't found his usual second-half second wind.

Grich prime example why people should never rely on small sample sizes.

And an example of why you sell high while you can (if you can).

Vlady at 1B is a waste

Oof 7 ER for Ryu. Hope just a bad game and not him slowing down. He's been healthy so pretty good but wonder if he's getting fatigued.

I think the offensive struggles can be directly attributed to Springer not being in the lineup. Essentially it's 3 players carrying this team - semien, bo, vlady - with almost no production from the bottom third of the order. So if those 3 players aren't hitting they're not going to score very many runs.

In all honesty he’s a waste wearing a glove. He wasn’t good at third either. They should just accept that he is a DH. The pressure to play a defensive position probably wears him down at the plate as well. So why keep up the pretense. Trying to fit a square peg into a round hole is always problematic.

Yea ok

If it doesn't happen here it will be with another team - 3B or even LF

I feel like he's less likely to get injured at first, though.

I’ve wanted his arm in the OF for a while.

he's too good of a hitter to just get rid of him because he cant find a defensive position, just put him at DH and let him rake, sometimes when you have chicken you just make chicken salad.

I dont think even in the outfield he'd be comfortable, like Derek Fisher who'd get hit in the face from time to time
