Knock on wood...But it definitely looks like Rosario has calmed down a little at the plate and tightened up his swing. Never mind the 5 run homers, he can make a huge impact by just getting on base with his speed and maybe he's realizing it.
Wudya know, a win. Good job Vargas Rosario/Nimmo gettin it done. Rosario may be taking a little step up and Nimmo did already. Rosario ahead of Nimmo is a dynamic combo. Now they need Ces behind them with Cabrera and Bautista. Unless somebody else wants to contribute?
Here we go. Can Opie Wheeler compete in a big spot spot against a good lineup? Or will he fiddle fuck around trying to find his mechanics? Can Conforto and Bruce help the team when it's needed most?
It isn't bad enough that he can't hit, Conforto has sucked in the field this year too. What a shock - the bullpen comes in and Wheeler's 2-0 lead becomes a 2-2 tie.
Bench Bruce or put him on 1st. Put Bautista in RF, Nimmo in CF and Conforto in LF. This team can't absorb Conforto in CF as it's made up right now. We may see Dom Smith and Peter Alonso. Alonso prolly won't be til later tho if they can't right this by the AS break
Well, the long-awaited and long-expected drop below .500 has arrived. Not very likely we'll see + numbers again this season, I'm afraid.
