I think Yelich earned his “C” in 2018 & 2019 by performance … but I get your point. I don’t anticipate a new title impacting his dreadful season at the plate. I hope Murphy surprises me & only plays him sporadically in the playoffs. But I assume he’ll be middle of the lines everyday. Hopefully he breaks his 8 year dry spell & gets at least one RBI or big hit.
We need 2025 playoffs Patrick in the 2026 playoffs.
He can be incredibly good or completely inconsistent & hittable depending on the day … not much in between. So unpredictable … thus unreliable.
I know he will be on the roster. I was asking about the .230 average being Frelick or Yelich. It seems unwise to add both simply because they are such good guys. Too much sentimentality for one playoff roster.
Lockridge > Frelick for the final position player bat in the playoffs. That would balance the righty / lefty options for the OF & the bench. Both are excellent defenders. Lockridge is faster.
