Can someone help me understand how Michael Taylor is batting .100, but his OBP is .095?

Am I the only one sick of FF not hitting? Can we re-visit the Aj reed deal with Houston? I know it's early and FF will eventually hit, but .111... Good grief

I'm not a big fan of Wood or Peraza as you can tell. But I will agree that Wood and Peraza should have brought a player that is young and can fill a future need. That combo could have brought a good catching prospect.
I think the front office was hoping to steal the next Jose Bautista. They overpaid for a lottery ticket and failed.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hector gets on a hot streak this summer. If he does they should trade him immediately.

What's funny is all this ripping we're doing of Olivera and Olivera has doubled up FF in avg... .111 (FF) .222 (Olivera)
It scares me the FO missed this badly. It would have been understandable if Olivera was 23. Or if he had some sort of track record. But he didn't. Knowing that we weren't going to be competitive for a few years, how do you trade two young 20 years olds for the 30 year old with no track record?
We're a very bad, very poorly managed team.

Another error for Adonis. He's looked good with the bat but defense still a major, major concern.
Every year people get excited about 2-3 weeks hot stretches when someone has a 500 BABIP no matter if it's ST, June, or Sept. Then we're called haters for pointing that out. There is a lot wrong with this team and it will need a lot to get back on the right track. Yes our farm is awesome and that's a good start but it's no guarantee like some around here think. We got really lucky with our young crop in the early 90's (4 should be HOFers) and then plugged in key role players around them for years.
It's more than comprehended that Heyward is better defensively than Nick...but after every damn ball that Nick can't get to l, a Heyward reflection flies out.
When was the last time someone posted "Sure would be nice to have Heyward's bat right now!"? I'd take Markakis' bat any day of the week over Heyward
