Has been hitting the ball pretty well lately, but not a ton of hits to show for it
9 of last 10 base hits have been 100+ exit velocity. The other was 97.5
For reference, only 4 of Walker's last 10 base hits have been 100+ exit velocity. Others were 57, 63, 83, 90, 91, 92
Only 1 of Burleson's last 10, with a bunch in the 80s
I think Church will start to find some hits soon
I know Victor Scott is only hitting .200, but he plays great defense and can steal bases. Why is Church still on the roster if Scott was relegated? I’m not saying Scott should be on MLB roster, but it just seems as though we have same results but two different outcomes.
^^^THIS^^^
But to be fair to Church he's had 354 PA's vs 802 PA's for VSII
It is a runway, rebuild, retool year so understandable he's getting a longer look in spite of his lack of production.

Just bone headed. You have a job that requires concentration for what, 3 hours a day, when you play. You forget how many outs there are then in your haste, you make a hurried throw and miss the cutoff man. That can’t happen. Pallante pitching his butt off and you can’t back up his effort.
Yes , it was a mental error. Yes, the games last about 3 hours for each one. We all agree it should not happen but all workers make a mental error sometime. In all my many work years I never came across a worker (player) who didn’t screw up once in a blue moon.
Anyone who says they never had a mental lapse is either lying, in denial about making a mistake or never did the job many hours.

Church is in a slump. Scott just isn't good
Scott is a better fielder and can steal bases. Again, I’m not arguing Scott should be moved up. I am arguing that Church has been awful for over a month and needs to not be on the MLB roster.

Interesting that a mental error doesn't count as one in the box score, though.

Scott had 9 steals with 4 caught stealing while he was up
For three months, from April 6 to July 6, Church hit .273/.319/.454/.773 (112 wRC+)
For the last three weeks, Church has been slumping, even while hitting the ball pretty hard
Either way, giving up on a rookie after a three week slump is pretty rough
