Triple A hitting coach thinks Mitchell needs a little more time down there

I don't challenge this whatsoever. And, Frelick has hit at every level. I'm simply saying, from an impact vantage point and given his defense and speed, Mitchell (in my eyes) is the best of an amazing bunch right now. I would also be completely unsurprised if they elevated Ruiz. OR, honestly, kept them all down there. It's a toss up. Whoever gets the call, may they prosper and kick butt.

Who is Mark A talking to behind home plate there?

Not sure. But I believe that guy sits there for all Dodger games.

Please no more Yelich vs LHP.  He sucks against LHP.  Basically an auto out.  Hiura would be a better option against LHP.  

Yelich 659 ops vs Lefties

Hiura 560

It’s funny that we simultaneously try to delay prospects coming up and also look to trade them away before they reach free agency. If we’re going to trade them in year 4, what difference does it make if we get that “extra year”?
 

If they can help the major league team win games they should be up. 

So true. It is laughable how they handle things on this front. You basically as a fan have to hope they come up and are pretty mediocre because if they are good they are going to be shipped out. If the Bucks had let Giannis walk because he's too good it would have killed the franchise. Baseball should take note.

Found it. This is who Mark A. Is talking to.

Is Mark A. in the front row?

Probably, he was on Monday.

[bulldogboy0733]

Ethan Small not being on this team in this situation is a damming statement. He's a bust.

[JRob1125]

I don't think Houser belongs in the rotation anymore. He's barely a 6th starter on this team

I will take it as Yelich barely ever lifts a ball against LHP.  He grounds out more against LHP.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Yelich drops below Hiura’s OPS line against lefties by the end of the year.

This is why I would never want to tick off an internet mob. They will find you. And they will kill you.

First off they don’t trade everyone. 
 

2nd if you don’t get the extra year then you don’t even get 4 before you trade them.

extra year of control is important in baseball……especially for small market teams.

I know it sucks……nobody likes it…..but it is what it is.

Doesn't go as an unearned run but it was.

 

[yourout]

Urias has Travis Shawitis.

Head moving....feet moving...

Poor mechanics.

Caratini now 1 for his last 25……woof

Catcher and CF have to be changed next year.

Way to much $$$ for way to little production.

 

[willie key]

I don’t know how this team is over .500.     They lose every series

Feliciano is what 25 at this point?? Been up and coming for years. Give the kid a shot. Seems like he can catch and throw from what we have seen.

[yourout]

Its amazing they won the first game in the series.

[bulldogboy0733]

It's wild that Freddy Freeman is basically making what Yelich is getting for 3 less years. 

[yfinn6]

I think it's time to see what Pablo Reyes can give us in September. 

 

/s 

[bulldogboy0733]

Was Strelzecki dude hurt?? Why did we make this pitching change?? I don't understand.

And he is probably worth it.

[SomewhereInTime]

At least they can use a position player to pitch the next 4 innings

[yourout]

Milner sucks.

Gotta save arms, no possible way your 6th best reliever can pitch two innings.
