    How long do you wait for Jake to get above the Mendoza line?

    Hilarious, last year during the playoffs, announcers were talking about "when he hits them, he hits them long" or something of that fact, he hits a homer on that pitch. Just happened again.

    How long waiting for Correa's .820 OPS ??

    Kemp, Davis, Marwin, (and GEORGE), White, Singleton;), etc are all downgrades in the outfield... and on the bases.

    Marwin/Kemp aren't terrible in the outfield. More than passable.

    I dont care how good your glove is when your hitting .146 you're a liability.

    Jake's offense is Sucking for sure... just saying, he's not contributing NOTHING.

    Positive Vibes to Jake's stick

    Well he did just hit a flyball to right field which is better than the usual strikeout. So I guess that's a positive.

    Bear has been prowling well for a month now.

    Much needed while most of the lineup struggles.

    Glad they don't just give up on players who stink in April, because sometimes they turn it around in May

    Yep,

    They need Gattis to come thru big time for the offense to be really good.

    Jake does not belong in the bigs right now. Bring Fisher back. More upside.

    You had to expect regression from Marwin.

    He's basically is a everyday regular and that's not really the best role for him. IMHO

    Nice catch by Kemp.

    He's pretty good in the outfield.

    Why did Hinch pull Cole? Why is Harris pitching now?
