OK, just realize that is probably not going to work out. Mayo is hitting worse even worse than O'Hearn and appears a worse defender. Mayo has done nothing to deserve playing time, unfortunately. Mayo/Rivera just seems like different, not better.

Can’t compare their offensive performances. Mayo starts once every 4 games, gets subbed out by the 6th, then gets a random pinch hit here and there. Should he be doing better, probably. But no knowing what he’d look like playing every day (like Ohearn)

I’ll say 100 more times. Until he adjusts to outside pitches he isn’t going to play. It’s not complicated

Then get him back in the minors to work on that? How’s he supposed to adjust if he never plays lmao

 

Jimenez and O’Hearn, any adjustments they need to make before then continue to play?

I would be fine with playing Mayo more. I am just saying based on what he has done we should have zero expectation that the results will be any better. Maybe Mayo will adjust and start mashing. Maybe O'Hearn will re-regress to his norms. I don't see why one is more likely than the other.

They are short on players. You have to be on 40 man. Get Westy and Urias back. Go from there. Until then there are issues.

    • Yeah, people are acting like the other wildcard teams are doing so amazing. Certain aspects of the collapse are humorous but some of these people are delusional and thinking we’re not gonna make the playoffs. Win three games you’re in
    • I threw out the names of Ron Washington/Dusty Baker initially as just the type of vet manager that we would go after being as they are the opposite of what we hired with Hyde. I think Hyde sticks, but it is concerning.  I don't blame him at all.  I think Hyde is one of the better managers in the business, and even Freddi Gonzalez has whatever "fire" that we may perceive that Hyde doesn't have.   The question is, has Hyde's message gotten stale?  
    • I am sure that the struggles and playoff anxiety is working hand in hand with this collapse.  The team lost its youthful exuberance somewhere in the second 1/2 and they just can't find themselves.  Saying that, the pitching has been solid recently and all they need to do is win a few games to limp into the playoffs.   I'm hoping at that point they can take a deep breath and get back to that loose arrogance they had.  I think in this case being young may help them reset for the playoffs.  
    • Also, a REAL cleanup hitter should be on the offseason shopping list.  Yesterday it was Kjerstad - potential for him in that spot but he's not ready for it.  Today its Cowser - I can't see him ever being a very good fit for that spot.  We don't have that guy unless Mayo really progresses, especially assuming that Santander leaves.
    • I’m saying the last 3 months the pitching was a bit worse and the offense was a bit better, but they have not been a good team.
    • Had we not made the trades we would not only had missed out on the playoffs for sure, but wouldn't have finished over .500.  So all things considered, even cost, the Adley/Gunnar years can't be just given away.  Hope we cling on and just get in.  Then anything can happen.  
    • Yeah that's what I'm saying in my prior post.  On paper at the start of the year, we'd all have been pretty excited about that lineup other than the Westburg thing.  Yet here we are, basically feeling hopeless that we can beat a mediocre SF team.  Just a bizarre finish to the season, even factoring in the injuries.
