I get why they didn't as it's hard to demote a 2 WAR player after a bad 150 ABs. And really, the ABs from #30 to 150 or so were fine, he got off to a 2 for 33 start or something like that. But the defense has been putrid and then he's starting to slump again so now it's 200 ABs of s***** play. It's definitely time now if it wasn't before.
He's also made some huge mental errors. He had that fielding play against the Dodgers where he just gave up on a play and then he is swinging at Ball 4 yesterday. He also sucked the 2nd half of last year. Time for a demotion pal.
But in general, I think the FO has been too forgiving with both the bench and the latter half of the lineup. Veterans are getting tons of rope, meanwhile:
-Waiting forever to call up Schneider. And then inexplicably sitting him for an entire week.
-Biggio, Espinal, Varsho, etc. all getting TONS of rope.
-Chapman and Vlad need to play a lot but i think a couple more off days wouldn't have hurt.
-In addition to Schneider, we have Clement, Horowitz, Barger, Lantigua, etc. all hitting the s*** out of the ball in AAA but not only is the FO hellbent on the Biggio's and Espinal's of the team, but they'll even give a guy like Jordan Luplow a chance before they try a young guy.
