Also is it really so hard to just play Denzer every game. His youth and MILB stats suggest he might be a guy that is a regular. Grissom is NEVER going to be a regular. He doesn’t have a defensive strength, he’s not a great baserunner, he’s not a guy with enough power. He’s a bench player which is fine but we need Denzer to get MLB abs.

Man Moore should be playing everyday but man he looks bad. We have two challenges in the 7th, down 5 and he doesn’t challenge when the bad call is strike 3. Like who is telling these guys when to use and not use the challenges. Before you even go up to the plate they should be thinking about what situation they’d use a challenge in. And Kikuchi didn’t look that bad. I’m at least encouraged his velocity is going to play. Might take some time to get the command back of that and a feel for breaking balls.

Well when your manager is the dumbest human in the history of baseball, this is what happens.

Kikuchi…Perry’s biggest FA signing during his tenure. How fitting.

Long reliever awaits his future in 2027.

DFA would be best.

All you need to know is that the middle third of our batting order is Grissom, Lowe, and Campero.

I think Campero is a bit better than those other 2.

If we make a catch we should have made Kikuchi has given up 2 solo HRs. We can’t throw a one hitter every game.

6-man rotations do not workout, to many 4th and 5th arms pitching. How many winning seasons have we had with a 6-man rotations worked out for us? There is such a thing as to many days off and staying sharp.

You think an extra day off makes that big of a difference? I think our 6 man was bad before because we had bad pitchers.

I’d rather just have RJ and Urena go out and throw 4 innings back to back. They stay on a 5 man rotation, RJ seems to be the starter that might be a long reliever anyway and then we limit Walbert’s inning count when he probably already has to be at a career high.

Please share with me where a 6-man rotation was or has been successful on a WS series team. This idea that 4 inning starters have either longer careers or help clubs win more games is interesting. Everything that seems like a good idea such as 100 pitch cap has really not proven anything. Does an extra day off help a pitcher, not really as there is physical and mentally sharp and one extra day off still makes it more of a challenge of staying sharp.

Kikuchi. Severely bombed in SLC. Exactly what we need to help maintain draft position.

Neto fooled Burger on the ball that got past Moore into pretending he was holding the ball and by the time Burger figured it out it was to late to advance.

It was a good play that made up for a bad one.

I’m why over Ballestros batting anywhere in the line-up much less in the 3-4-5 holes. Moore is not an infielder as he does not have the natural eye hand coordination required. He is a rerun of a recent infielder who now I believe is in SD as a backup. Kikuchi is not MLB ready.

Burger steals one off Kikuchi easily.

Moore does a terrible job trying to catch it.

Moore looks unsteady in the field as well.

108 MPH double play. Yikes.

Kikuchi is throwing batting practice. Without that Minasian contract, he’d be nowhere near this roster. Let’s keep pitching the kids.

Rosters expand in about a week. Nick Madrigal could get a call up. Hitting .333 and .440 OBP in International League. Type of guy that fights against the frontline guys you’ll see in the playoffs. I hope he gets the call. Love guys that keep grinding.

I would’ve DFAd Kikuchi and kept Fulmer. Let’s remove the rest of the Minisian failures from the roster.
