It’s absurd to say that he’s better than Gunnar. But yes he’s very very good. 

Westburg doesn't get the fanfare that Henderson gets but I agree with Roy to an extent. Westburg isn't far behind Gunnar and I think Westburg is actually under rated nationally. Westburg is slightly more versatile than Gunnar defensively. Which is a high compliment because Gunnar is versatile too, and a superstar/future MVP.

For those wondering what Hays is good for, Hays 98% would have had that ball that ended up a triple.

Will be interesting.. when Hays comes back who goes? Gotta think the McKenna love and lack of options means Kjerstad goes

I just had it on mute to the side, but would it be correct to say the percentage of outfielders on the 40-man roster who would have caught that baill is "high"?

I would say so. It was hit hard but plenty of time to get there. He played it poorly.

I usually just wait for Roy to catch on to a slumping player.   Then we get to hear about how he's struggling 4 or 5 times in every game thread, night after night.

No sense starting it earlier.

🤣

Just wondering if it’s okay to talk about Santander’s potential replacement looking just as lost as Santander has looked early on.

Kjerstad looking like a DH. I wonder what the trade value for a DH is? It's not Mason Miller.

If a guy can not get to play five days a week we wont see the real Kjerstad.  He does not look like the kind of guy who can sit on the shelf for a week and come in and be golden.  

Hyde should override Sigbot and play Kjerstad more.

    • We do not have to give up Holliday, Basallo, or Mayo to get what we need.
    • So you think Elias will give up one of the top 3 prospects to get upgrades?
    • “Dramatics”? That’s an interesting way of framing my opinion. I promise you I am as calm and cool as a cucumber. There’s no “dramatics” going on here. As you know, numbers fluctuate during any given period of time in the season. Good/great players have bad/cold stretches and bad/terrible players have good stretches. IMO we do not possess the type of top end talent at the back end of the bullpen needed to win multiple rounds against the best opposition in October.  If you are confident in Cano/Kimbrel or worse in Vespi/Baker/Perez/etc getting Soto and Judge out in a big spot late in the game in Yankee stadium in October, that is fine. I am not.  Just as an observer of baseball, Holmes is a much better pitcher than any reliever that we have. I would be much more confident in his talent than any reliever that we have. Now if we had Felix that would be one thing. But this season we do not. And I would hate for a team as good as ours to be held back by not making the needed/necessary move(s) before we get into October.  IMO we did that last season (with the starting pitching) and it didn’t end well. And I acknowledge that everybody doesn’t think like me nor have the same championship expectations/aspirations. Some fans/posters here have stated as much and that they are happy if we have a winning team year after year or if we just make it into the tournament year after year, regardless of results when we get there. And that’s fine. That’s just not my desired outcome. The great thing about this board is that we don’t have to agree and are able to express our opinions.
    • That’s right. Great times are here and more ahead with this group. 
    • Over/under on the number of times we walk Judge and Soto in this series?   10?  Nobody else really worries me.  
    • 2 days in a row we got some help from the RedSox
