Kreidler can't get well fast enough. The bloom is off Maton's rose. MLB pitchers have a book on him now. Sub 500 OPS since the middle of April.

As frustrating as Maton has been, Kreidler hasn't proven that he can be better.

I think he sticks around, but batting him cleanup needs to stop for a while

Kreidler hasn't hit major league pitchers at all.

There isn't an infielder in Toledo today who has earned a callup.  Nevin would probably be first in line.  So relax and enjoy Schoop while you can.  I would find room for Perez in Toledo and play him every day for a month.

I blame AJ for this offense...cant have Maton be the cleanup DH, thats literally asking for the offense to be thrown off kilter in unmitigated ass fashion.

Playing a hunch. They've worked more often than not lately.

Schoop as the PH was kinda waving the white flag, doancha think?

He tagged the ball, but was just one of the many victims of Miles Straw's range.

Shutouts suck.

This one was particularly grating because they had plenty of opportunities to score and just couldn't get off of the doughnut.

Well, I don't know if the bloom is off or he's just in a rut or what.  Whichever it is, the cleanup experiment needs to be done.  I think I'd be comfortable with Torkelson hitting 4th going forward.  I think maybe he's turning the corner lately.
