The same one that was 4th in baseball in runs scored last year? Their roster hasn’t had that much turnover. They might be off to a slow start but I wouldn’t describe them has having an offense that’s pretty bad.

Of course, Canning is a reverse splits guy because of his changeup and just like guys like Lugo were due for regression to the mean I’m weary that Canning and his 8 ERA are due to be on tonight.

That’s funny. If a person looked at your posts they’d say the same thing.

Why waste time changing a link I was never going to waste time clicking on? Progress. You’ve been wrong a thousand times and you finally made your first admission. Baby steps.

You’re very welcome. Any time.

We agree. Finally.

He’s the DH. His defense at DH is beyond reproach.

Now that you realize that your post was a senseless nitpick that had nothing to do with what he said I can move on too.

I don’t disagree with anything you said but there’s an easy answer. As long as Elias and Hyde think he’s ok and stands a good chance of turning things around he stays, especially if the team continues to win. If they feel he needs a reset or needs to work on things in a less pressurized environment he’ll go down. They deserve the benefit of the doubt as far as what’s best for Holliday and the team. We can all guess when and what they’ll do but I think 95% of us are good with whatever they decide.

LOL. It has nothing to do with his post. If he had a choice between equal players at SS he’d take the defensive guy over the offensive guy. He never said he wouldn’t take a superior player if he happened to be an offense first player. Try and keep up.

I can read. Can you? “IMHO defensive prowess at premium positions generally benefits your pitchers to a more significant degree than offensive prowess.” He didn’t say he wouldn’t like to have the offensive player. He said he preferred the defensive player if the overall value was equal. Pretty easy to understand if you took the long school bus to school.

Pro Athletes never have problems with confidence or failure? Then why do teams feel the need to hire sports psychologists? Not directed at you but the brick wall you’re discussing this with. Players are human. They aren’t robots.

Ok. He’d prefer the +10 defensive player at premium positions. And your point for mentioning Jeter is?

What does that have to do with what he posted? He said great defenders are usually good athletes. He didn’t say all great athletes are great defenders.

Hitters can sit on the fastball and still can’t square it up when he keeps it up. That’s a good fastball. He seems to lose command when he starts getting tired which seems to be at 75-80 pitches. By the way, he seems like our best fielding pitcher, better than GG winner Burnes.
