We got a lot of dead weight , Jung hoe Lee, Ramos , Bailey , all got no business starting
Huh? Whos' a better catcher than Bailey on this roster? Ramos and Lee are the best options they have in the OF. They can't just replace them when they have no other options right now.
Anyway wins and losses this early are hard to judge. Maybe the Yankees pitching staff is just a lot better this season. On the other hand the Giants pitchers held the vaunted Yankees to 3 runs in 2 of the games. Only 3 HRs in the 3 games and Judge and Stanton hit those. So the hitting didn't look good but the pitching (other than the opener) looked very good.
Funny how we always hear that power hitters don't want to play for the Giants because of the ballpark but those same guys don't seem to have a problem hitting them when they play at Oracle.
Agreed they have no better option but that doesn't mean they don't suck, Lee was a big overreach because they were desperate and gave big money to a unknown, he has spurts but disappears a lot and isn't there at seasons end when the games matter , Ramos always makes boneheaded mistakes, see his base running from last year, he mid at best, and Bailey lol don't get me started with him, I don't see why Eldridge can't get reps, he better than those 3 guys I mentioned already , and another thing is our pitching is meh too, let's be honest Webb was never suppose to be an ace, he a borderline 2-3 pitcher yet he forced to be an ace here because our owner cheap and don't wanna spend big money on a pitcher
Eldridge is a bonafide power hitting prospect that needs to learn how to be more selective. His SO rate of 35-40% is too high. It would be worse in the big leagues with the better pitching. The good power hitters all SO a lot but not at 40%
