Jesus Christ I am 2-13 since the beginning of 2020. Maybe I should pull out for the cause. Well at least I won the win prediction contest which at least involved some measure of skill but my luck sucks ass.

Regret not getting in on that, didn't have much of an internet connection at the beginning of the season

Thats why I like Dylan in the lead off role. Puts some pressure on the base paths.

Problem is if you take away his four HRs he has only been on the base paths 23% of the time. JK seems to be doing fine there.

You really want one of your best hitters hitting at top of the lineup

I have a buddy who is a Met's fan and I am going to email him the JK highlights. Trying to think of clever way to compare him to Cano. lol

I am sure you can still get in.....

Think so? Figure out a point of entry... could I get spotted a few wins?

What do you think on the first question, bpj. Answer the the second one is F no. I don't even have a damn win yet. lol

Who's ready to step up and eat some crow after doubting Kelenic's ability in the majors?! I know there's a few in here!!

Some didn't seem to have confidence in him to hit him leadoff

If you Nancy’s are referring to my thought his first introduction to the bigs was at leadoff. Where he went 0fer4 was the right move.....I still don’t think an introduction to the bigs needed that large of a spot light.....so fuck off

[Donn Beach]

I wasn't but if you want to wear the sombrero it's fine by me. So you wouldn't have premiered him at leadoff, but the second game of his career was fine by you..ok got it lol

[Donn Beach]

My point wasn't about you Jay, it was about SS. He made the right call there, just like he did by bringing in Graveman when he did. He will never get credit for the moves he makes, he will get blamed for the losses.

I am willing to wager players like playing for him. He understands the advanced aspects to the game. He doesn't rant and rave, demand the spot light. He doesn't throw them under the bus to the media, blaming them for losses instead of himself. He shows confidence in them. He is a steady hand, even keeled, doesn't listen to the fans. I bet they like that

I like this strategy of having your best batters getting the most plate appearances. In Modesto, Marte and Marlowe are hitting 1and 2. They just beat Rancho Cucomunga 9-8 with both Marte and Marlowe getting multi hit games and hitting 4 RBIs apiece. Cade Marlowe is 23, a 20th round pick in 2019, plays outfield. He's off to a blistering start, .371/.478/1.135 forcing pitchers to throw strikes to Marte. Marte is one of our prize international SS/3B signing, now 19 years old but he has over 300 ABS already despite the shortened Covid Season. A strong frame and a powerful arm... .364/.417/.985 could last at SS or move to 3rd. Cade is just a long shot, a reach but he's raising attention.
