1/10th of the season as Howie says is in the books. Very good and wait till the bats warm up. Watch out NL!

Last night was a good win 💪 I wonder what the plan for CF is now? Can Acuna play center? That would be ideal. Otherwise we’ll have Azocar I guess.

Most likely we'll keep running Tyrone out there and maybe bring up Azocar for a backup. Mendy didn't say anything about Acuna in the postgame last night. He talked about the possibility of Winker and Marte getting reps in the outfield with Nimmo in center, which tells me we're locked into Luisangel at second base.

Speaking of whom, he's starting to really show something at the plate. He brought his hands down just a little in his stance and he's in a much better position now when the pitch is delivered, not behind and overswinging to catch up.

That doesn't mean he'll start slugging like his brother. But if he's hitting .285 with a little pop, we're going to be super happy with him.

I'd rather give Acuna a chance in center than put Nimmo and his plantar fasciitis out there regularly. I'm not optimistic that Tyrone Taylor is ever going to contribute much offensively. Btw, I'm hoping that Nimmo's days as an on base machine are not behind him. Getting worried...

Agreed. I don't want Brandon in center, either. And I don't think Mendy or anyone else does, for that matter.

Come to think of it, I'm not all that anxious to see Marte or Winker out there, as long as we're on the subject. 😆
