More Vivas

I simply don't understand the lineup construction...granted most of the roster sucks, but other than benching House, this just doesn't make any sense...

it's like there's nothing Crews or Young could do to change management's view of their offense. Also, I can't figure Chappy #7 if one of Crews, Chappy, and Young is hitting 3rd

That Chappy, Nunez, Young stretch sets up nicely for a righty reliever.

Folks we are tanking.

An update on the race:

These guys are supposed to be good drivers, but they are getting into accidents.

The start of an IndyCar race always has a load of crashes. Drivers bunch up, the go flat out to the first turn, and smash into each other. Once that is cleared out the race settles down, somewhat. There is always some fun&games around the pit, especially in street racing.

Crews hits ball hard. Tie game

Why is Vivas playing 3B while House sits?

welch · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2026, 03:06:52 pm »

Count them: Chappy, Abimelec, Tena, Vivas. Four starters who belong in AAA.

Abi and Chappy are probably two out of the 4 best healthy hitters left on this team

Abi is getting exposed

Chappy has been one of the better hitters in baseball for the last month or so.

chaparro has posted .301 / .393 / .685 for a 1.078 OPS over the last month and you want him in AAA???

an exposed Ortiz is still better than Crews, Vivas, Tena, ...

We can argue House, Ford, Young.

Can he hit like Garcia did? Is he truly a .300 hitter, or is this a blip? He is hitting .240 on the season. Maybe he is a PH/DH, but not much more. A career .220 hitter, career OPS of about .720. He is 27...not a kid anymore.

Doesn't look like Garcia can hit like Garcia did. .254/.297/.458 since going to NY

I don't see a reason to send him down. Its a lost season. May as well see what we have in Nunez, Vivas, Crews, and Chapparo

We seem to have nothing. Same with Kranick. Let's see what the Nats have in Seaver King.
