Do something productive Davis 

He is simply not an MLb player

Davis did not walk. Only chance he can do

I agree if the team is doing well, it's no big deal, but I don't buy that slow-start crap.

Last year in April Vladdy had a 116 wRC+ with a .268/.362/.402 slash line and 3 HR.
In April 2024 he had a 100 wRC+ with a .226/.331/.347 slash line with 3 HR.

In the other recent years when he's hit okay in April (2026, 2023, 2022), he's had a rough May. The good news is that Vladdy is a career 154 wRC+ in June, his best career month.

You realize that was all you.

He needs to go down like last year

[Spanky__99]

*sighs* still can't get the hit in a big spot.

[Slade]

When Lukes comes back Schnieder just needs to go down, if he can't hit lefties he's providing nothing here. 

[Abomination]

At least he's done through 5. Facing the bullpen can't be any worse.

ya, I hear that every year about Vlad. Quarter of the season is over, he still just hit 2 HRs, and none at home.

Need a right hand bat up from Buffalo

McAdoo needs to learn to play another position besides 3rd or Ross needs to cook up a trade for a righty bat.

[neverbeenhere]

now they should use ABS only and let the guy rest

[Omar]

Time for a shakeup, roll the dice...

Pinango

Gimenez

Oka

Vladdy

Springer

Clement

Varsho

Valenzuela

Straw

[Abomination]

I feel like this is too much busy managing. I really don't see the reason to pinch hit Pinango for Straw there.

ya, Straw has been pretty good, compared to Vlad

[Scionz]

This is a bad baseball team, thank god the farm looks competent.

Hey Vladdy, that's how you turn on a fastball

When was the last time we saw Vladdy pull the ball in the air?

[Jays24]

Hoffman's baacckkk 

[gruber9292]

This Rays team is actually kind of fun if you look at it from a neutral stand point. Scrappy offence with the solid pitching all around. I enjoyed watching them vs the Yankees and in general tbh.

I think Don Mattingly was still around 

[dancingmachine]

Hoffman is fantastic for the other team, nice flop by Davis

This is pretty much how we were last year once we added Bieber/Yesavage.  Just a 200M difference in payroll lol.  

[Spanky__99]

The Rays have won 15 of their last 17, well likely 16 of their last 18... 👀

[Doubleplay21]

Hoffman always good for 25,-30 pitches for 3 outs if that

[G-Snarls]

I find myself occasionally wishing that Hoffman had passed the Orioles physical

I wouldn't mind, that could work. When Lukes has 5-6 mlb games under his belt, bat him lead off with Pinango second.
