Velazquez needs to be our primary shortstop. Fletcher is OK defensively, but Velazquez is better.

hope he can do better than .183/.258 with a .530 ops if that's the case.

Neither one is going to hit, but at least Velazquez is a big league defensive shortstop

Alvarez did nothing against the M's or Dbacks but now that he's back to playing us he's locked in, just great

He was on Covid time out.

[Chuck]

Man even Taylor Ward's outs are loud. 

[Angelsjunky]

So what's the deal with Garcia's little dance before he pitches? He doesn't seem to do it with every pitch.

I know that the answer is yes but does Fletcher get back in the lineup if he come off the IL in the next few days? I'm liking Wade/Duffy/Velazquez/Mayfield a lot more than I thought I would.

Fletcher can easily replace Mayfield.  Hope we keep everyone else.

Given that Fletcher hit .194/.242/.233 the last 70 games of last season, the bar is set pretty low.

Overrated group

Lol, you gotta like how Marsh keeps setting up behind Adell facing home in case Adell butchers something and he he needs to come up throwing into the IF.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

This is probably the best home ump in a week.

[Jason]

Lol at Adell. Dude is an easy out
