July/August 2020 Game Thread

I still don’t think this season ends although I hope I’m wrong. They are not testing these guys nearly enough, the tests don’t come back quick enough, and they aren’t in a bubble. This plan is awful by baseball

I'm trying to come up with one valid reason to bat Jesus Aguilar second in the order. Can't come up with one.

Anderson is the far better hitter. You want him to get as many at bats as possible.

He gets on base far more often than Aguilar.

He runs much, much better. Aguilar is a speed bump on the base paths.

Anderson hitting anywhere behind Aguilar seems like a travesty to me. That's on Mattingly and his "offensive coordinator."

Someone, I think Mish on his podcast, suggested that it would benefit Aguilar to see more fastballs. That begs the question: Why the heck wouldn't Anderson benefit just as much?

I agree with lee. I see his marlins tenure being similar to mike morse

I agree, but it was worth a flyer to see if he can regain his 2018 form. Especially now that we have a DH and Cooper will also get ABs.

Also agree with this. Pretty much a move that I would also make for the upside but not expecting much. Similar to Morse as well

Just happy to have some live games back on TV.

they put joyce on the 45 man dl with corona virus? Pretty sure there is a separate coronavirus injured list isnt there? And also if he's on the 45 day with corona how fucking sick is he and is he going to be ok?

Joyce opened a new gym with his wife, a couple of months ago, they promoted it heavily on his Instagram. He was a fairly regular poster - hasn't posted since June 30th....

This version of Sandy is awesome

[Nick]

We didnt sign Didi.

[gustavopim]

Aguilar bomba!!

[fish16]

Always been a huge fan of both Aguilar and didi as we all know

[Nick]

So glad we signed Aguilar. Lol

[Erick]

The team seems to be having a lot of fun in the dugout. Good to see. Social distancing fun!

Sandy alcantara- top of the rotation guy. I wanted flaherty or weaver and I was completely wrong in weaver. Alcantara is a #2 for the future at least. If he’s anything less that’s good for our future

[emkayseven]

I need to see a few more outings like this from Sandy but this has been encouraging.
