maybe Baez is the one who should get benched.

You know what horsefeathers defense. If we continue to struggle at the plate I am at least considering benching Javy tomorrow. I can't believe I'm saying that and it's probably still stupid, but he's an automatic out right now at a time where we absolutely cannot have automatic outs

People at work were asking me if I like Smoltz....no not that much. I feel like the broadcast is in love with Cleveland

 

they're beating our ass left and right, what do you expect them to do? talk about how great the team that can't score a run is?

 

Fair point. Even the pregame is painting them as the unlikely, gritty team to take down the powerhouse Cubs, as though they're the however many time champion Yankees defending their title. Just getting old I guess

Javy did good stuff the first 2 rounds. maybe it's time for someone else to do that because he sure as horsefeathers ain't doing it anymore

 

We need 2 starters from the group of Baez/Heyward/Coghlan/Soler/Almora. I'd think hard about sitting Javy in another start against Kluber, but the two reverse split guys coming up are decent matchups for him. Of course for the latter half of the game when Shaw/Miller/Allen eat him alive I don't have an answer, but I'm not terribly more optimistic about 2 guys being better for the pen either.

Javy seems to be regressing and it's really upsetting

 

Again while I was really trying to buy into the whole "Javy randomly turned into a very good hitter overnight" I was always kind of bracing for this because well he's done it all year. Has 2 good weeks then a bad month. I am not sure why...actually kind of perplexing to see someone have a great approach and then a terrible one. but either way this is regular season Javy. Just be thankful we had awesome Javy earlier in the playoffs because I'm not sure we are even playing right now without him.

There are too many holes in this lineup right now

 

What isn't a hole?
