I agree, Ozzie. I wish Scott could hit. That outfield defense is really good with Church, Scott, Walker on the field.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 May 2026 00:57 amI agree i would have preferred scott in center church in left fermin at third neither scott or saggese can hit but at least you have good outfield defense or like you said just hit gorman ninth against the lefty and see if he can run into one or muscle a bloop in for a hit he’s started saggs three games in a row it’s just giving away outs at this pointJuanAgosto wrote: ↑12 May 2026 21:56 pm0 for his last 30, Rock.

Is the FO or manager or both incompetent? It’s May 10th…..the team is playing well, winning, and require an effort every game to put out a competitive lineup.
C. Bloom is going to have to take JAGesse away (AAA and then toss him into any deal he makes midseason) from Oli who just can't seem to stop himself from playing this slug.![]()

The Saggese lovers in here (along w/the Oli lovers) hate it that I've been calling him J.A.G. almost since his arrival but even they have to acknowledge that's who he is, J.A.G.
JAGesse isn't even a utility player, I hope we never see him again once Noot returns and he's (hopefully) demoted.

Re: Left Field
While we are talking about LF, Ryan Vilade started in LF last night and batted clean-up for the team with the best record in baseball (Tampa Bay). He is hitting .281 with a .777 OPS. Who knew?
