Good Lord, is Zunino going to be Good??
No..........no he's not and Tito will exhaust him as a SP before relegating him to a BP role. I know this because I heard those words come out of his mouth and it's way too early in Gaddis' career to do what you're suggesting.Gaddis is going the way of Eli Morgan, can start, but better as a reliever...
The massive hitting team we had in the 90s with Thome, Belle, Ramirez, Alomars, Vizquel, et al. were great for drawing walks. They would frequently work the pitchers for 10 and 12 ball counts, so that even if the pitcher got out the side, they pitch 40 or more pitches. Inevitably, the second time through the lineup, they'd get mashed.Stole back the game we lost on Saturday, fair.
Coming back from that bases loaded failure in the 8th was huge.
Rosario coming to bat after two walks in a one run game is exactly why I want him gone from that 2nd spot. Thankfully he didn't make contact and we got to see Jose putting this team on his back for an important win.
With a more selective approach (walks) and more timely hits that should come, this team should be able to score 4+ regularly. Combine that with a strong and deep looking rotation and there's hope left for a turnaround/winning streaks... 110 games still to go
Do your research. It's not an excuse.
