  1. The shitty part about our platoon is that all our options aren't great right now - marwin, jake, Fisher, even reddick to a degree. At some point we'll cut the bait on jake and/or Fisher and look to more permanent options. Jake and Fisher are basically the same...defensive replacements with speed. Just depend which side you want them from right or left. 

    At least with Davis when he was up he started to make solid contact and hit balls hard, wonder if he's an option in left

  2. we need something to shake shit up - hinch getting ejected, bringing up someone/sending someone down, a fight, whatever. we seem to have this general malaise about ourselves and it's pretty easy to spot. yeah we're playing games  but  we're not playing our game. seeing too many guys do too much on their own or trying to be a hero with one swing, shit just snowballs over time - last night, runner on 2nd, marwin swings at a 3-0 pitch that he wouldnt be able to do much with. end of an inning, no run scored on and lose by a run. take the pitch, extend the inning, work the pitcher, put emphasis on the defense, etc - too many self-thwarted outs. 

    we're used to waiting at-bats out, swinging within ourselves and make hard contact - as much shit as he gets, i did like gattis prolonged at bat last night - baby steps but still ones we shouldnt have had to wait until the third week in april to make. something will light this team, i don't know what is but needs to happen sooner rather than later. you can't win a division in april but you can play yourself outta win easily. i suspect we'll make some internal moves that we don't see coming - and one we expect seeing coming at some point this year. hang in there boys, long season.
