Stewart optioned

After the game, D.J. Stewart was sent to the Alternate Training Site.

He never got a hit.

That move and Means gets us to 28, until Means returns.

[HowAboutThat]

Will we ever see him again?

is Mullins better?

How long can DJ Stewart hold off....

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

DJ Stewart likely will never be good enough to be an everyday player, but I really believe a lot for his problems are mental. Stewart shouldn't be struggling this badly at the plate.

He has a problem with his stance, He keeps bouncing his bat off of the top of his shoulder before every pitch. He needs to stop this bad habit and keep his bat more up rght and still before every pitch. He is late on every pitch due to this glitch. Can someone tell him?

He needs to clear his head that is for sure. My guess is at some point somebody gets hurt/let go  and he gets another chance 

Mullins is more useful off the bench. Faster, better defender.

I feel like they pay people to watch these things and if it’s a problem to fix it.

It may not be a problem, or not his only problem.

Exactly.  One would hope with all the cameras and cutting edge tech they've been buying they would have someone on stuff like this.

Then again evidently no one suggested to Bundy he throw his worst pitch less often /shrug.

Worth stating that not everyone has a career carved out for them in Major League Baseball. If everyone could be fixed, they would be. Lots of money, time, and tech poured into these people.

We knew on draft day that DJ Stewart had an uphill climb in this industry.

So does that mean that Dwight Smith Jr is the everyday left fielder?    Sounds like its time for Mountcastle up and Hess down.

Why would you need to send Hess down?

Who goes down when Means returns? A catcher or Hess? 

Would think catcher myself. Unless they want to really give Sisco some at bats.

They haven't brought up anyone to replace Means, not that I have seen.  Did I blink and miss it?

They had to get to 28 players.
