Rosario can play OF and give all 3 IF spots besides 1B a breather. Harold Ramirez plays OF and 1B and is also out there although he’s only a 73 OPS+ but has hit .316 against LHP this year. Chas is hitting .201 with a 61 OPS+ so how desperate are we? Or is it just me. Somebody in our outfield needs to start hitting. Leon appears to have all the holes in his swing we were told. 50% K! It’s been a beautiful last week but Bregman, Yordan and Yainer won’t stay this hot forever. We take a shot with every scrub pitcher may as well resurrect a hitter.

Leon is gonna need most of a season to know if he can play in the majors.  What he's done after being called up was very predictable.  Rosario could help the team.  He has no pop whatsoever, but he can hit singles and doesn't strikeout much.

Better players will be DFA'd

[David Dennison 18850]

Come on, man.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Here comes our outfield gauntlet. 

[UTPhil2006 3806]

Jake tried to DFA himself/Tucker himself 

[Planet Houston 4930]

🤮🤑

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

Chas loafed on yet another hit to the outfield and it cost us a run yesterday. He has no business being on this organization. 

[YChang 3443]

Quality at bat Chas. Quality.

They put up more of a fight than our 1st 6 batters.

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

How can you miss pitches right down the middle that badly?

Ive always felt that Chas was one of those guys that probably isn’t that bright but would run through a brick wall and give 100 percent for his boys but he looks like he’s checked out.

I wasn’t sure which way I was rooting.

Is Siri the Leon floor or ceiling?

No one is coming close to Siri’s celebration dancing skills !!!!

Dezenzo plays 1B like Raygun break dances.

his 2 E’s were on extremely routine playable balls. maybe he’s just nervous 

[Gourmand 7774]

TK called that one

[tx 3 putt 76873]

Pena Power !!!!!

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I feel I’ve talked enough shit about our OF that at least 2 will get a hit and one will hit a HR. 
 

Well Pena isn’t an OF but I’ll take it.

[Dutchrudder 11135]

Nice AB by Pena, he didn't swing at some sliders off the plate. Now he just needs to teach the outfield how to do that. 

[dr99 559]

What's the deal with Pena and the snot rockets? Is that like a nervous tick or something.

[hornmpa96 2618]

Can we leave Chas in Florida?

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Chas 2 strikeouts on 7 pitches.

He takes strikes that are middle-middle and swings at pitches that wouldn’t be called strikes for peak Tom Glavine.

Come on Ort cloud

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

Always gotta have an inning

Come on Ort cloud

This should end the Ort in the 8th convo 

[hornmpa96 2618]

Maybe Ort isn’t ready for prime time yet

[David Dennison 18850]

Maybe try to hold the runner at second.

And that's why.

[Gourmand 7774]
