Beating the drum

[instant karma]

I know I have asked this before, but why hasn’t Taylor Ward been brought up?  He hit really well in last year’s shortened season and I believe he hit over 400 this spring.  He is an glode glove caliber 3rd baseman (while Rendon is out) and can play both corner outfield positions, 2nd and first.  I don’t understand the logic of promoting Renjifo over Ward.  My only explanation is that he’s in Maddon’s doghouse.  I think offensively he’s figured it out and if anything, he seems to be just getting better as he gets more MLB at bats.

He has AIDS

No, that isn't the only explanation.

Lou, I respect you.  Give me your thoughts.  Maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks, but I can't take credit for any insight on this.

At least you used the right word. I once had a coworker who used to say that it was a mute point. Used to drive me nuts.

It's not a big deal in the end.  Hopefully Rendon's stay on the IL is fairly short.  He can come back as soon as next Wednesday, I believe.  Not sure if he'll come back on that date, but it seems to be minor enough such that whomever was replacing him at 3B probably won't be here that long.

So for a week or so, Rengifo will get starts at 3B, along with Rojas too.

Schebler in RF is the right call, IMO.  Helps provide LHH balance, and as Jeff Fletcher referenced, Schebler had some shoulder issues the previous years that may have impacted his performance.  Happy to see what he can do.

FYI, Ward didn’t have covid. It was a contact tracing precaution.

Maybe your coworker was using the correct word.  Was it Hellen Keller?

How do you expect me to confirm my superiority without a proper list of your faults?
