April 1 Postgame: Strasburg and Friends Shut Out the Marlins

[Chewford]

Nolasco increasing his trade deadline value would be nice.

[nny]

Is rugs hurt?

[HUGG]

No, Coghlan and Ruggiano are platooning for now.

[Nick]

No, Coghlan and Ruggiano are platooning for now.

WHAT!?

[Chewford]

Always nice to see possibly the second best hitter currently on the team platooning with literally garbage.

[Mainge]

You misused literally.

[HUGG]

I mean, it's really stupid, but Ruggiano's not gonna do much but hit lefties this season anyway.

He did have an .806ops vs. righties last season, but that .425babip vs. RH last season probably isn't sustainable.

I think he's gonna be legit as a lefty killer though.

[Mainge]

I think he can Cody for us.

We really could use his power in this lineup.

[HUGG]

I don't disagree. He should be playing every day anyway because there's no better options.

But, I think he's gonna hit .230 vs. righties this season.

[Party]

It's way to early, but this team is an injury or two away from being the worst team in franchise history.

[Chewford]

You misused literally.

garbage [gahr-big]
noun

-any matter that is no longer wanted or needed; trash.
-anything that is contemptibly worthless, inferior, or vile

I don't believe that I did.

[Beef]

I don't disagree. He should be playing every day anyway because there's no better options.

But, I think he's gonna hit .230 vs. righties this season.

I feel like if he doesn't play everyday, he will waste some of his crap against righties by crapping a bit against lefties.

[Mainge]

Sorry Chewie.

[Nick]

Yeah I mean, I pretty much agree with Hugg's assessment of Ruggs, but I'll take .230 with power out of Ruggs, over a guy who couldn't get over .200 last year with 0 power.

[Mainge]

Most people feel that way I think
