Not enough power for a corner spot.
How much power did Brock, Skates, and Vince have in Left? More than one way to skin a cat.
But they were not .230 hitters.
Speaking of .230 hitters...when was the last time Lars Nootbaar didn't suck?
Add Scott to that, but at least he runs fast to first after hitting a weak grounder. :roll:

Kirk is going to ask to be traded to an NL Central team so he can face the Cardinal's pitching staff more than 3 games a year. He might hit .500.

That's how Scott will bust his slump. Loved Noot but I'm beginning to think he's the most overrated player on the team.

Every time I see Lauer pitch I wonder?
How does this ragarm get anybody out? No velocity and nothing of movement.
Of course I’ve watched Cy Young Hendricks do the same to us for 10 years. LOL

I was super fan for a while still am but he’s starting to make me a non believer. He’s really fallen off a cliff.

Left handed pitcher starts for Toronto so we counter with 3 lefty hitting outfielders, talk about roster constuction.

Not the point. .230 doesn't belong anywhere.
But if/when he regains his hitting stroke, would he be better in left with his limited arm?

Obviously, he has to hit or else it's all a moot point.

And a lefty non-hitting sieve at second base. The lack of positional depth is getting exposed.

I have no idea whom will be managing in 2026, but I'm reasonably certain it won't be anyone named Oliver.

I think we're about done, fellas. It was a nice month. But being unable to get the scrubs in the bottom 2/3rds of this line up out is killer.
