It's like Fredi is trying to punish me because I praised him the other day for cutting the cord on Young as the starting center fielder.

He puts the soft in "soft platoon."

I thought for sure we'd see CB behind the plate today after AJ played last night.

Seemed like these noon games after a night games would be an automatic "Laird-game" last year.

Fredi's going all in to win. He doesn't give a **** about AJ's aching joints.

Let's be honest....from Fredi's point of view, what's the point in playing the no.2 catcher if he doesn't look like you? I'm almost certain Fredi snuck in a few ab's last year when no one was paying attention.

Well... To be fair, he is probably hoping that someone will step up and claim that lead-off spot. He has tried several people, and so far, nobody has really done well enough to lay claim.

I wish EY, Maybin, Peterson... someone would show that lead-off is theirs.

I tried to tell y'all not to get excited, that Maybin only played back-to-back due to back-to-back lefties. It's just his stupid "soft platoon" continuing, which does Maybin no favors because for his career his splits are reversed. Fredi cannot correctly use anyone with any kind of reversed splits, be it a pitcher or position player, and esp. not the tougher calls like KJ and Maybin.

Well, you know who the manager is right? Logic is not his strong suit. Hell I don't even know he has any strong suit. He is just a babysitter.

I know AJ is going to crash and crash hard, but I wouldn't put it past him to post one last great season out of cussedness and sheer spite.

I could see that. Too mean to die.

AJ 2015. There is a prick involved.

Oldest catcher to post a .400 BA season: just you wait.

"You can't return to greatness because of spite."

[jsebe10]

Compare the before and after. Definitely a knee issue. His whole delivery has shifted slightly to take the pressure off. Because of that, he has no control.

You are acting like he is a Harvey or Fernandez or something.

What?

[UNCBlue012]

I caught a bit of the first inning and you can't tell me that Julio doesn't look off. Whether it's injury or a confidence thing, he looks way off his game.

Also, this Mets lineup is absolutely dump and they're still playing well. Hot teams are hot.

[atl717]

How many fastballs are we gonna watch go right down the middle? Jace is awful.

[UNCBlue012]

I'm still an advocate to move Simba up in the lineup. He's hitting pretty dang well.

[UNCBlue012]

Julio's barely breaking 90 on the radar gun is freaking me out a bit.
