Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Meh Brennan's contact oriented skillset might translate better to the bigs than Benson etc but he's been clearly a less productive offensive player than many players including Benson and Jones that IMO calling him up just reeks of "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" which isn't exactly something we have the luxury of doing with the roster situation. It takes a little extra commitment to claim someone in the Rule 5 than it does off waivers so keeping some of these guys in AAA just might be the answer going into next season unless we're really sure we want them in the lineup and I don't really know why we'd think that's the case with Brennan. Fans have already turned on Benson and Freeman with less than 70 PA between them. We can't afford to keep doing this. Work with the guys we've got up there see what they got before rotating the next round in there...

Benson and Freeman have already lost us games all by themselves. I’m ok with time to adjust, but you shouldn’t actively kill the team, when you are adjusting. Play cleanly in the field, don’t make base-running mistakes, and don’t swing at crap.
 
Guardians manage 7 runs total offense for the 4 game set.
 
Seattle’s a better team than us. But it didn’t have to be that way.
 
Robbie Ray’s a good pitcher, but we made him look like Sandy Koufax.
 
Our batting order against LHP has been and still seems to be a weak link in our path to winning games. Rosario has fallen off the edge of the earth lately, hopefully he gets his stroke back as quickly as it left. Even Kwan has been striking out more than what we're used to seeing.

Call me biased but I think Naylor picks that foul ball off the netting cleanly that Miller botched. It's a tough play but for Naylor the game has slowed down for him at the 1st base position, Miller just seems like a duck out of the water there with everything he does. He has to think instead of reacting instinctively. Those potential outs that turn into extra pitches that turn into HR balls have messed up some otherwise well pitched games. Maybe the pitching coach should go out and talk to the pitcher every time we have one of those situations.
