    Chas, what a loser. Just a triple on the first at bat
    Y u no homerun.

    Hearing Ford and Sparky is so comforting.

    I get it. I'm just so frustrated with the situation. I'm tired of hearing the name Whitley at this point.

    To be fair, it’s only 1 or 2 posters that have blind optimism/love for him…. They just post a lot in the off-season or in spring training as there is prospect bias and it apparently piques their interest/posting frequency.

    At this point it's like finding a change purse in the garbage can you are emptying. You hope it has some change.

    Jake ain't an everyday player. He is the starter but he platooning with Chas in centerfield when Yordan gets bored just swinging a bat.

    That will work as long as the bottom of the order can get on base.

    That's one way to look at it. I look at from the point of view that Yordan getting on base will give more opportunities to Tucker, Bregman, and Diaz, and 5 PAs for Yordan is better than 4.
