    • He needs to level out his swing so it's less of an uppercut.
    • Mateo has been pretty good so far this season. I'm wondering how much production we are missing from him not playing in April, and how much we can squeeze that fruit and for how long before he goes back to not being able to see the baseball.
    • Why is that stupid? SB gets him in scoring position. It's not like trying to steal third and we've seen Kimbrel be really bad at holding runners.
    • We could definitely use Felix but I think that's because the rest of the bullpen has been having so much trouble. If we are comparing closer to closer in a zero sum game between Felix or Kimbrell, I do remember Felix giving us all kinds of drama last season when runners would get on base and steal off of him due to his long wind up, or he'd lose his command and start walking batters. There's also the occasional ill-timed home run he was prone to give up sometimes. Back in the game threads we were sweating a lot of those situations with Felix on the mound. But with that said, Felix found his way to success the large majority of the time so I don't want to degrade his performances. Just a reminder that these guys are still human and they still have their own competitive struggles from time to time too.
