Man Chris Owings is killing in his last 15 games!

4/47 1 HR 1 RBI 3 Runs 3 BBs 18 SOs 1 SB. That all comes to be a slash that looks like this

.085 AVG/.140 OBP/.149 SLG

Good for a .289 OPS! You just can't take that production out of the lineup! No wonder Ned has only sat him out of 1 game. He is the future of this team or at the very least he will bring back a top 100 prospect or 2!
[Reply]

I was hoping that fall Ned took would knock some sense into him. Sadly I was mistaken.
[Reply]

Yet they just continue...to...play...him. It’s insane. He’s a worse version of Getz and there he is every day. Idiotic beyond belief.



DM gave Owings $3M and Hamilton $4M. So stupid. Who else wanted these two retreads? Why would he burn $7M when he could’ve had them for $2M, the vet minimums? They both had no other options.
[Reply]

The playing time for Owings should have an upcoming expiration date, and it should be pretty soon.

If they want to game service time with Nicky Lopez a bit and delay his promotion until June, I can see that. But with Gutierrez up and Dozier about ready to return to playing the field, Owings needs to be relegated to playing against LHP only (basically, when O’Hearn gets a seat).

But Lopez should be up in June at the latest (dude has a grand total of 3 Ks, which is just extraordinary). And Starling, if he gets to the AAA ASB with a .800 or better OPS, should be up, too.

Merrifield
Mondesi
Gordon
Dozier
O’Hearn
Soler
Gallagher/Maldonado (Viloria off to a horrendous start with bat means they may just sit with this)
Hamilton/Starling
Lopez

Is at least an interesting lineup to watch.
[Reply]

It's like when Ned just absolutely refused to pull Soria out of the closer role, even after he blew, what, around 10 saves in a month? You just can't explain it.
[Reply]

Our offense, Dozier in particular, has been a rather pleasant surprise to watch. If we had a modicum of middle to closing pitching, we might actually be in the WC hunt.

That’s tickets purchased, I wonder what actual attendance is? They have a ton of unused Corp seats.
[Reply]

Why have Owings even on the team at all? Why have him hit against lefties? He's OPSing .536 against RHP and .290 against LHP. There is absolutely no reason for him to be anywhere near this team, but every year DM and Ned have a terrible baseball player that they continue to shove in our face. Fuck Id rather have Alcides back. Alcides had a .593 OPS last year and were running Owings out with his .464 OPS. How fucking pathetic is that. With how hes been playing recently pretty soon hes going to be TPJ bad. This organization is a joke
[Reply]

Can Ian be traded @ the deadline for something if he keeps this up? I realize his salary is 16.5 m, but if we send cash and pay for his 2019 salary, the team eating him for 2020, might be up for it especially with a sub 1.2 ERA
[Reply]

Where's Gutierrez in your lineup? Unless O'Hearn can start hitting, I be sending him down and have Dozier at 1st with Gutierrez at 3rd.
