It’s one year. Gunnar is fine. One bad rut. Adley was solid before. 
 

So did they teach them defense before and this year said the hell with it? 

Kjerstad is a pure bat. The others weren’t high picks. Should he draft Belanger like players? 

Second round isn't high?

Mayo was a bonus baby, they paid for a high pick.

I think that if a team is actually concerned about defense you wouldn't see a drop like we have with Adley.  My guess is they instructed him to work on other things, perhaps to include his physique.

Away. Away. Away. Hit the damn ball to LF.

If Povich could cut his walks by 20%, he could be really something.

but, going back to the issue of Mike Elias’s off-season planning it was very unwise to go into the season with Povich and McDermott as your depth.

Gotta let the kids have some reps and take their lumps. They did with Grayson who was awful to start, they did with Bradish who was awful to start.

Holliday is back to looking over-matched

Maybe Adley is hurt? Who knows why he hasn’t been as good. 
 

And Mayo is legit prospect. 
They keep playing Mullins in CF.

It’s not complicated. He needs to use the whole field. Trying to jerk everything. When he came back he went oppo. To pull happy.

This season is turning into a lost season. Call up the kids, give them all the ABs. Screw it.

Mayo with a triple just now in Norfolk...hes the ONLY player in AAA with 20 HR and a .300 BA..but theres no room for him on our red hot hitting team..(sorry for the sarcasm..but it's true.) Now Mullins is out with some sort of injury...

Can he hit MLB pitchers pounding the outside corner?

He looked overmatched while here and Eloy was on fire. At this point, just give the ABs to Mayo as DH.

Of course.  Why wouldn't he be?

[eddie83]

If Mullins goes to IL - to be clear-not saying he will who would come up?
