Might be a good poll question, but at this point what are people's expectations of Alex Reyes, going forward? I think I'll post that, actually. I'll hang up and listen.

There's got to be esoteric roster management reasons for their methods here that we don't know about w/r/t Arozarena/Fernandez.
It sure isn't a "winning baseball games" approach. Is it option management? Starting a clock? Did they have a forecasted budget that included needing as many options on Arozarena as possible from 2020 and beyond and they need to use Lane's first? There's something big-picture we don't see. But it's stupid, whatever it is.

Shildt has no business as a manager or Mo in org. Bringing Carpenter back in lead off spot after being miserable in memphis ? Shildt says he has better stat's then others BS ! Says nothing bout fact that Can't run/steal throws like tossing a dam grenade can't hit to opposite field all a sham because they gave him an extension.
Weiters been very good on D and hitting in key situations and he does not play yesterday ? Puts Edmon in right field when Thomas has HR day before and is an outfielder. Like they are not trying to win or just hard headed stupid morons or both.

It's obvious they screwed themselves by not adding depth for the stretch run. So what they're stuck doing now, is trying to keep guys fresh while attempting to get more from bench role guys. Thus playing them more, but in unorthodox scenarios with them playing out if position.

Wieters needs a day off once in a while; and Knizner does nothing for the team's present or future wasting away on the bench. I agree on the Thomas not starting in the OF issue.Cards1956 wrote:Shildt has no business as a manager or Mo in org. Bringing Carpenter back in lead off spot after being miserable in memphis ?

Roark has been awful against lefties and Shildt wanted the lefty bat in the lineup.
They took a chance with Edman in right. I kind of get it now.
