Do Not Sell My Personal Information
The board was nearly unanimous that Reyes should be playing in the field.

Don't bellyache when the inevitable happens.

This team is built on defense, and when a DH plays in the field, we are ceding one of our biggest advantages.

Franmil would never play in the field for me.

Speak or yourself, I know I and few others said at SOME point that we need to trade Reyes as Naylor was our future DH and got criticized ... Yet, now we know that Reyes ain’t no OF as I said even before season that it was stupid to try to get him to be an everyday OF ... guess some are wrong every once in a while but not here.
 
Not PR Reyes with Kwan/Palacios cost us a run and a double
 
I'm watching the gamecast. Where did he get hit?

It looked like a HBP on his wrist, but the replay showed it hit the knob of his bat. The Twins challenged but MLB let the call stand anyway.
 
Literally no one has said this.

Only you.

All-time great managers make mistakes all the time, when you make as many decisions as they have to it is inevitable. People are allowed to talk about the mistakes.
People are allowed to opine on what they THINK are mistakes, but they never take the time to put themselves in the managers shoes and try to figure out what they were thinking.

It made sense last night to pitch Castro. It made sense to not pinch hit last inning.

And if Franmil had run all out on contact as he was supposed to, we would have a tie game and one out.

Straws fly ball would have given us the lead.

They aren’t gold Glover’s like Straw ... and I was first to say Palacios needing more time at AAA or daily BP to learn position but there is costing us a run and double over multiple innings and games vs Reyes looking like Santana. Don’t mind Reyes out there occasionally when a Jose needs a semi-day off but Reyes right now isn’t the bat Santana was when we tried him in OF to provide offense.
