We're about to Peter O'Brien Raul Mondesi. It was upsetting watching Chump Hale continually put O'Brien in situations to fail last year in AZ. With each strike out, he grew less and less confident. Eventually the D'backs just gave up on him. It's pretty clear to anyone with eyes that Mondesi can't hit major league pitching. He's continuing to fail and that is not a good way to build up confidence. Our own experience with Gordon and Moose should show that some time in Omaha would do this kid a world of good.

Let's not get too carried away. Letting Mondesi hit there wasn't like leaving Aaron Crow in the game too long or something. It's not like Ned made some kind of fireable offense. It's not his fault the veteran players aren't hitting. They aren't kids any more, they have to show up and deliver.

Maybe the offense turns it around tonight against Buamgarner

You're treating this like it's an either/or situation when it's BOTH. Mondesi is hurting the team by being completely overmatched, AND Hosmer (and Gordon, and to a degree, Moss) is not producing like he should be. But even if the vets get their shit together, you simply can't play a guy hitting .114, let alone allow him to twice hit with the game in the line. |

Makes you wonder how much freedom Ned feels he has to pinch hit for Mondesi in certain situations like last night.

Hosmer is going to lose a ton of money this season. Moose is going the other way. I want Moose, followed by Cain, then Hosmer. DH/1b has been going pretty cheap. He isn't worth the 15-18M he will try to command over 5-6 years.
