Everything Smoltz is saying is true. 
 

It’s a Pitch here or there. Everything is going Texas’ way. It happens.

But there is a talent gap.

That's why I'm hoping Elias makes room for Mayo and Kjerstad to get regular at bats next season. They both have the potential to be difference makers on this offense over the next 2 to 3 years.

We are batting 1.000 with RISP tonight.

We are going to need one very good high leverage arm next year with no Bautista. He is one of the biggest reasons that we even got to where we were.

We need to sign Blake Snell and Josh Hader!!

Even what O'Hearn was, he was only an 800 OPS first baseman who we had to platoon because he couldn't hit. lefties.

I agree. I think we can and honestly should upgrade there.

One time Adley, one time I want to see you punish a fastball buddy.

Frazier is gone for sure, but I am pretty sure Mullins will be back and O'hearn is probably back too because you need as many left handed bats with a bit of power as possible in Camden Yards. Hays probablhy is not going anywhere either

I don't think there's another guy on the team or in AAA that Elias would trust as the everyday CFer.

Not as big a gap as it’s looked like though.

Actually we don’t know if he can hit lefties.  They never let him try and when they have more recently he has had some success. 

5/26 on the year.

Career .172 hitter with an OPS 200 points lower when hitting lefties. 
 

At 30 years old, you normally don't figure out how to hit lefties.

I WISH!!!!!!! If only we had an owner who was interested in doing all he could to help us chase a championship.

[eddie83]

Good at bat here.
