I dispense wisdom by the gallon.
There is no reason on Earth that Andres Gimenez should be hitting 7th in the Guardians lineup.

Aside from “Tito Francona demands the lineup alternate L//R at all times”.

There also should be no reason that Myles Straw is in the lineup period. He is an utter black hole.

They’ve been playing on borrowed time ever since the deadline. They DESPERATELY needed offense and refused to do anything, now they are stuck with a menagerie of guys who couldn’t get on base if their life depended on it. The catching situation is abysmal, the outfield isn’t much better (Steven Kwan is a decent guy to have as a compliment to two other power hitting outfielders but not as the “star” of your outfield), and outside of Josh Naylor and Amed Rosario, there’s very little offense on the right side of the infield or the bench.

Also, Tito, if you could stop running Bryan Shaw out there that would be great. “He can pitch every day!” Isn’t a positive if he sucks out loud. I realize he was great for us 6 years ago but you simply can’t rely on him.

Anyone in LA, I have 2 tickets to the Dodgers game today I can’t use (4pm start). Great seats in the 4th row of the Reserve but they’re in the sun the first ~hour of the game (please hide in the shade). It’s gonna be a scorcher but these are free as in beer, including premium parking pass. DM me here or on Twitter.

Rare opportunity to sit in the exact seats where I saw the Matt Holliday dickshot and Game 7 of the 2017 World Series!

edit: just sent these to a goon, happy day

Tyler Matzek got the win tonight for throwing one pitch. It was an important pitch at least, and better than if Jansen stayed in and got the win for blowing the save. It's a dumb and bad stat.

I'm still mad that Chapman got the win for Game 7 in 2016.

My favorite wRC+ fact is that the 2020 Mets, the team who finished in 4th place in their division with a .433 win pct, had the 5th highest team wRC+ of all time.

The team with the highest of all time was the 1927 Yankees.

The Mets schedule coming up is Pirates / Marlins / Cubs / Pirates / Brewers / A's / Marlins so there really is no reason for them not to be completely out of sight by the time they play the Braves in the last week

Injuries are the problem. The team was winning with a healthy Stanton, Rizzo, LeMahieu, and Carpenter. Most teams that lose 4 productive bats for an extended period is gonna fall off. I disagreed with the Montgomery trade and Cashman choosing to weaken the rotation or risk it on an undone trade but that hasn't really been the problem. As good as Montgomery has been the pitching has largely been fine. The "Boss" fans are gonna be all "they should have just got Juan Soto" like its just something entirely up to the Yankees being willing to do it but even one AB might not have changed this. You can be critical of Cashman's approach this season (and the past few) to pass on big name free agents he clearly didn't love and go with stop gap veterans. Or the focus on defense and "putting the ball in play" because "we have enough power". But also some of those fans now saying what terrible acquisitions Donaldson and IKF are loved that trade back in the Spring. Its a gamble and it clearly didn't pay off right now.

The team has to start hitting. I don't know what anyone else could do. If you wanna take the Trump approach that firing people is a motivator then we just disagree. They're either gonna start hitting and recover from this or they're just gonna keep digging the hole. I don't see a third option and "fire Boone" is just temper tantrum stuff.

Injuries are a very small part of the issue because most of the injuries, other than Stanton who is hurt for an extended period pretty much every year, have been to the pitching which is only a small part of this collapse the last 2 months. This is flat out bad hitters up and down the lineup and they went into the season with all of it. They have no hitters preforming well other than Judge. Yes they haven't been getting the historically great pitching but that was never going to last the whole year.

Yeah, but the Braves have to lose a bit, too. And the Mets have to do that thing where they score runs.
