I hope we can put an end to all of the J.J. Hoover bashing in this game thread tonight.

I've said my piece.

Jumbo Diaz as well

Ok?

I am simply referring to right this moment. Suarez and Farmer both have horrible bats right now. Suarez is a negative defender at SS (like worst in baseball negative), Farmer is average. At this exact moment I think Farmer hurts the team less, also Bell won’t be tempted to bat Farmer cleanup like he would Suarez. In no way am I saying Farmer is good or even mediocre. Suarez out of the lineup on April 27, 2021 is addition by subtraction.

Worst in baseball is actually debatable

He needs a day or 2 off but I will continue to have confidence in Suarez. Sorry, I'm not into knee jerk reactions on a guy with his track record

They said on the broadcast last night that he was dead last.

It’s really not debatable.

And it’s not a knee jerk reaction. All I said was right now I feel better about Farmer than Suarez. You’re acting like I said Farmer is a better player than Suarez. I am not.

Who is the worst SS in MLB?

As long as Geno doesn’t hit it’s got to be him.

His glove and range introduced him to the conversion and his bat should be what saves him from it

“Should”

We’re talking about a half season of combined stats at this point where Geno is hitting sub .200. That warrants one day off where Farmer should start over him at bare minimum.

Which metric?

There's a REALLY strong case for Didi Gregorius

I'm not acting like anything. I'm saying I'm not sure what would have to happen to feel better about Kyle Farmer over Geno

He can be the worst SS in baseball and still be better than Kyle Farmer

Fangraphs SS Defensive rankings. I think it was the Dodgers announcers.

None of this matters. You're trying to use statistics to reason why Suarez should play every day, pulling out stats that are 19 to 24 months old. There are two hundred posters here who could disect those old statistics and find red flags in them that would have predicted his poor production the three months he's played real games since then. It's only three months, but there's 16 months unaccounted for that he has spent warping his mind so badly that he's not good enough to play Single-A baseball right now.

And, that's what we are talking about. It's not a slump. He is wrecked mentally. His approach to at-bats have no baseball IQ behind it. He's a trainwreck.

Senzel needs to go back to the minors. All of his stints on the DL the last three years completely destroyed his learning curve. He needs to go back to basics and fix a lot of things.

[JaxRed]

I'd of put Blandino at SS and India at 2b.

[Ironman92]

O/U Sadak Ferris Bueller references

All game: 2.5
Before the first pitch: 0.5

Holy Moses over

Fangraphs defensive value actually has 4 SS worse than him. I'm not blaming you for their information. Just putting that out there

There aren't 200 people on earth, let alone on this message board, that could have predicted Suarez would perform this poorly.

If you honestly don't think he could play single-A baseball right now, then we should just end this conversation because there is no common ground

get the hell out!

[Tom Servo]

Wink job!

[JFLegal]

literally, get the hell out. winker is the man.
