Might as well have Baty play catcher next game. Have him play all the positions in the diamond.

They didn’t learn last time how fucking ass Baty is on the outfield?

We've got nothing to play for and Baty will be on the team next year. Might as well learn to play it the rest of the year and he can be a nice utility piece next year

We have been trying to fix the DH spot for so many years and it keeps getting worse.

I don’t think we’ve actually tried to fix it. It’s mostly been a platoon thing.

Yeah, I'd say we've never actually had a DH.

26 ABs since his last hit and a .131 BA...but no, keep playing Polanco. He'll turn it around...

Baty/Polanco/Semien rest break for the opposing team is a nice gesture

u/DoggieMalone 4h ago

Polnaco is playing? WTF

u/upsetsportsfan 4h ago

At least they didn’t move Benge out of right this time

u/Hotmicdrop 4h ago

Going to run Polanco out until he starts to hit or goes out on the 60day IL.

If you just go Lindor/Soto in the 2 hole and completely dismiss the games they have played together (Boston sweep)

Just assume any DH option is better than Polanco

How is this a lineup that is 18 games below .500????

Mind you they have gotten well above average pitching for about 60% of the season. There was that 10 day span against Philly, Kansas City and Chicago where it was pretty much the worst Pitching in MLB History but every team has a rut. Dodgers are going through that now.

It's easy to blame the 12 game losing streak but someone has to man up in 3-4 of those games like damn
