Pratt and Lara seem to be trending hard in the wrong direction at the plate. Hopefully they can turn the tides between now and the postseason

Frelick is going to be playing a lot.    I don’t  know if that helps though

See, you yelled at Lara and he responded. 

[hoosier]

What is with these swing decisions??? 

[adambr2]

I don’t advocate for bunting very often, but when you’re going to flail at 3 pitches in a row as helplessly as Turang just did, you may as well bunt. 

[Bulldogboy]

It's fine to hit Turang down in the order against a lefty imo.

[Sixtolezcano]

Turang needs some time to get his head (and bat) together in Nashville.

Nice to get 2 here, that's huge.

As much as Pancakes likes to tinker with the line-up, you'd think he would at the very least, consider this...

Nah, that's a bit extreme.

Looks bad against Hall of Famer, send him down.

His defense alone justifies him in the lineup every day, but his splits are extreme enough that I’d have no issue with him near the bottom of the order again lefties.

[adambr2]

Great approaches by Lara and Chourio and an “I will take it” seeing eye single by Wild Bill. Anytime you can put up multiple runs in an inning against Sale, you’ll take it.

I certainly believe he should at least taken a few pitches but no need to send him to Nashville

To answer BA's Peachtree Street question:

 

[adambr2]

Good jump by Lara. That’s an inside the park HR with a Reds outfielder. 

[Brian]

Lara looked like Lou Brock out there.

[Brewin]

That's a fairly difficult play Lara made look easy because of an outstanding jump

[hoosier]

With so many backend BP guys down today, need to get some add on runs to make this a little more comfortable.

One point I made in the gamethread/extended Lara thread yesterday was that his defense has really improved since he first came up. 

Early on he often looked uncomfortable. Bad jumps, bad angles. You could tell he was still getting used to MLB type speeds and the AmFam outfield. 

I have faith his bat will improve as well. He’s a work in progress but he already plays as an adequate MLB starter and you can see the tools for more, 

[TURBO]

Do we, as a group, truly understand how lucky we are to have a generational talent in the Miz on this roster right now?

I mean, seriously, do any of us just sit in awe of this guy every time he takes the mound?

You just can't take a phenom like this for granted, it's flabbergasting how good this guy really is!
