How can Thomson not move Stott up to #2 and drop Turner to 7th or 8th?
Can you say malfeasance?

Same stubborn crap.

Marsh has the highest OPS at .807

It isn't a good offense. There is no fix. Bryce not being Bryce is not replaceable. The rest are what they are with 3 of them, Stott, Marsh, Bohm hitting better than expected, but it isn't enough.

Need to get Castellanos the hell outta the cleanup spot.

I printed Stott’s numbers yesterday vs Turner. Is Thomson stupid or afraid of Turner’s or the FO re: the $300 mil contract ,In not moving Turner down and moving Stott to #2..Stott’s numbers are bretter in every aspect than Turner’s. Makes no sense to keep running him out there as the #2 hitter

Oh, I agree with batting Stott higher and dropping Turner. It may help a little, but it isn't going to fix the bigger issue. It is just not a good offense, no matter what order you use.

Now watch them score 10 runs today, but it won't change anything. They really do need to win today, or they are likely to be at 8 losses in a row come Weds

Damn. I thought that was gone off Realmuto's bat.

Cameraman didn't help.

Jesus Christ, Aaron.

Realmuto can't get the ball out to make it 4-0 and it winds up tied after the 1st at bat. He has had trouble all year staying on top of the ball, his elbow gets low, he pushes the ball at the plate, flattening out and they can see that ball right out of his hand.
