    • It pains me to see Holliday struggle, but I have to admit there’s a part of me that just wants to dredge up every post where someone essentially called Elias an idiot for not having Holliday on the Opening Day roster or accused him of being solely motivated by manipulating service time.   What do you think now? I wrote a couple of days ago that I thought Holliday would get two more weeks to show some signs of adjusting.   But now I’m thinking it might be more like a week (end of the road trip).   He’s really pressing terribly right now.   
    • I think we agree fully here, I'm not sure why you feel the need to call me a Pollyanna. It's been 27 AB. If at 50 he still looks like this then sure send him down. I was merely laughing at the full 180 some fans are pulling in here. And it seems to only happen after a loss, as if we would have won that game with Urias or Mateo at 2B or something. And you will see me in other threads criticizing players or lack of moves to support the pen and things like that. This narrative that I'm some constant Pollyanna is just false. I acknowledge the kid looks pretty bad. He's not losing us games though, and IMO hasn't met the threshold just yet for being sent down.
    • Most of Manny’s value his first 3 seasons came from his amazing defense.  Gunnar’s a very good defender, but Manny was otherworldly for a while.  He didn’t really mature as a hitter until he’d been in the league for 2.3 seasons.  Gunnar’s been by far the better hitter early, but will he hit another gear in a year or two like Manny did?   Hard to know.  
    • No I don't but it's just funny watching people who criticized the decision to start him in AAA to now wanting to send him down after less than 30 ABs.
