And would he suddenly grow a pair?

Overall better than expected. The thing I find most encouraging is the starting pitching: just about everyone is doing as well or better than expected, except for Richards. Ohtani isn't far off from being a true ace, Skaggs and Heaney look like solid #2-3 starters, Barria is coming along quite nicely, Tropeano looks very solid and healthy, and Richards has shown flashes of recapturing his best form. This is a good rotation that is on the verge of being very good, even borderline great.

Last seven games: .150/.393/.150, 84 wRC+. Last five games: .083/.421/.083, 91 wRC+. 1 hit. Hasn't hit a home run since May 6. Time to trade this bum for bullpen help. (LOL at his OBP, despite the suckage)

So is Craig.

Maybe, but I seem to recall that a study was done that you should put your best hitter at #2, perhaps because it is the sweet-spot between as many PA as possible and RBI opportunities. I still dream of a high OBP to put in front of Trout. Rivas/Rengifo might be just the ticket.

We already have an ideal #2.

That makes him lean for an American.

That sounds ominous re: Shoe.

Hopefully Trout will have another chance in the bottom of the ninth, and Lou will have a chance to agree.

Fixed.

OK, then: making room for Calhoun?! Not really as they would likely DL him first, but you never know....

The Mendoza Line: .200 BA. The Calhoun Line: .400 OPS.

The book on Calhoun, 2018 version: Throw the ball towards the plate.

I love the 98 mph fastball, 75 mph curveball combo. His curve is hugely underrated.

Would that mean Taylor Ward is getting called up to AAA? Wasn't Houchins the starting 3B?

Quit calling @calscuf a she.

Like those two.

Cozart will be getting some nice pitches to hit.

We all are.

Blow Calhoun Bowel Calhoun

F'in Canadians.

I can't wait for Upton to be an overpaid platoon DH for the last three years of his contract.

Didn't know there were no bench players left, otherwise I'd still pinch hit him. One at bat isnt' going to ruin his arm.

This is where I'd pinch hit Shohei.

He did?
