Yes. At least, he's been playing like it.


I love guys like Mendick. Low draft pick who improved every year on his way to the majors, got his chance and made it. Low draft pick guys especially position players have overwhelming odds against them. Now they need to bring Mercedes in and have him DH in the 2nd half. Encarnacion is awful right now.

Robert hurt on that dive last inning.

Hopefully nothing serious.

Mendick, nice sac fly then Robert with his 4th hit of the night. He hit five shots tonight.

Man I'm not trying to bitch too much about injuries, and I know Eloy caused his own missed games, but can we get a fucking break for like a week on shit like that?

Must have been incredibly minor because up six runs against Detroit in the ninth inning, he could have sat out the 9th

Just look at the guy. He looks like and NFL running back. Huge thighs and buttocks. Must have really tight hamstrings. He probably has been nursing his hammys all season long and felt a tweak and caught it before it took over. All of these consecutive games and no off days are tough on muscled guys like him especially.

Luis Robert X-rays are negative and he is day to day. Only listed injury is "sore right hand"

My Guy. He's going to struggle for a while but he's going to figure it out. He always has.

Hope so but he's got three guys out there right now that have set a very high bar for rookies. Hope that he settles in well and quickly. Gotta say, Heurer and Nardi have got electric stuff.

Because Grandal is hurt and Ricky figures he might as well put and inferior player in the lineup and keep McCann on the bench.

I'm not even being facetious. That's the best explanation I can come up with. If Ricky wants to give Collins some at-bats, then DH him.
