    It’s not a DH issue.

    Yeah, but these kind of games existed before the DH. And game length isn’t the main issue. It’s a bad baseball problem.

    With 4/5 ths of your rotation down and half your core out you expect differently? Not to mention the insistence of playing Markakis. Albeit right now it is a necessity.

    Ender REALLY needs to be demoted to full-time bench. Even his defense sucks now.

    I'm not sure what the rationale is for still believing Ender is worth playing. Which to their credit, the Braves don't seem to believe.

    You obviously don’t understand what I’m talking about.

    Yet again Professor I full well understand what you are talking about. You are saying the Braves are playing baseball. All I am saying is it is understandable.

    No, I am not talking about the quality of the team. I’m talking about the quality of this particular game. Notice the Yankees are partaking too. Or were anyway.

    Ender is currently and maybe forever more a shell of his former defensive self

    So Ender....

    1. No longer is able to hit.
    2. No longer plays elite D, and is arguably below average.

    Is there any reason to not just start Pache's development?
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
