I disagree about Prince not being a defensive liability. Any throw across the infield that wasn’t right to his glove was a big problem. Even a one hopper right on target he often couldn’t come up with. He used his belly to field bouncers hit at him. Which actually was a decent approach for him. I mean his bat and everything else he brought to the table more than made up for his glovework but I don’t think he was much less of a butcher than Juan Francisco at 1b.
Dodgers suck baseballs. They didn’t do enough at the deadline. 1 run per game is never going to work in October. Dave Roberts is a moron. What in the hell was he thinking pinch hitting for muncy. Their lack of situational hitting and power is fine in August but they should have added a bat if they wanted to be more than a one and done come October.
Well put adambr2, There’s the earthquake and there’s untold what else that can pull a guy off his game. From what I’ve seen from wild bill over his tenure with the Brewers, I consider him to be pretty tough, physically and mentally. So I think he’s likely got something going on. Might be a good time to give Gary more play.
Now, how would that package compare to, say, Rob Bryson, Zach Jackson, Matt LaPorta and Michael Brantley I wonder. Oh well good for LA maybe if they can get a couple more players they can feel like they have a shot at winning enough games
