This next 14 games (1 vs TEX, 3 vs COL, 3 vs BALT, 3 vs TB and 4 vs BOS) are the season.
If we do well and go something like 9-5 or 8-6 then things will legitimately look up but if we tank and lose more then we win its over.
Noone said the replacements are good or that were happy with them.
Just that some of the fans havent missed Lawrie as much as they might have first imagined. It's almost like his absence has turned down the temperature ALOT and its a good thing.
Ya I was also a fan of the signing but he's been underwhelming. If he continues to hit like this I wonder if we would just be better off with either Gose or Rasmus manning LF?
The worst part about Melky is that he looks like a pure DH going forward (even tho he aint have the bat for the position)
Some of the routes hes taken and his inability to chase down semi tough balls is bad.
His legs look shot.
Texas is playing just ugly baseball right now.
Theres really no reason why we shouldnt take the next two games with the pitchers we have plus Texas's struggling O.
Then go home, sweep the Rockies and BOOM.......record of 35-36
Rasmus only has one swing.
Every swing is 100% pure upper cut pull. No defensive swings to fight off tough pitchs. He never adjusts his swing plane to hit the ball the other way. It's no suprise everything is basically a K or a HR.
