Wouldn't it be great if Rosario's absence was because AA had traded him? That wont be the case but it's fun to dream about.

We have seen very very few LHP this season. I know there are fewer of them than righties, but I wonder if teams have been avoiding starting a lefty against us. It just seems more pronounced than we would expect.

yep.. and nothing to do with a LHP starting.. but unfortunately we will be very dissapointed in about an hour and a half when Sorryio is still sitting there thinking he is the best player in the league with an A on his hat.

Is it really a big deal if your 10th best hitter gets replaced or not?

when your manager still bats him 6th it does.

He's a 10th best hitter (arguably 11th) with 335 PAs.

Believe it or not. This offense will go down as one of the best hitting squads of all time and that will be true whether Rosario hits 6th or 9th.

Good thing he hits 7th then. Hilarious that we’re complaining about the bottom of the lineup. One that hits better than any other 7/8/9 combo in the majors. First world problems

sum of a beach.. i forgot about zuna..

I just despise sorryio.. mostly because how he plays in the field and his refusal to take a pitch... it is an ego thing... but I know this team is good enough to absorb his antics and streaks.

He just sticks out as a clear spot that could be improved on an otherwise excellent offense.

 

[thewupk]

Just two dudes that lead their league in dongs

Rosario is a league average bat making $9m on an expiring deal.

He’s fine

The best bats traded this deadline were Jake Burger and Mark Canha.

Good to see a winning game thread !!

He’s gone after this season. Still grateful for helping win the World Series.

Perhaps I should have said he sticks out as the worst player on the offense. So if we were looking for a spot to try to improve, that would be it. But as you pointed out, it was a bad year to need a bat.

Rosario is nowhere near as bad as you make him out to be.

how bad did I make him out to be.. I dislike him.. but he is technically above average hitter but a below average player.. he in his own mind is a much better hitter and player..
