re: So if Cade Beloso Can Take 1B for now...// New Lineup To Try Out

Yes, I would like to object. Your title to this thread is about as stupid as I’ve ever seen.

First of all, Beloso did not solidify anything with one AB. Have you ever watched baseball? Or played? This was game 2 of around 60 regular season games. Beloso had a decent game. He hit a couple balls hard but that is in no way indicative of how the rest of his season will turn out. We still haven’t seen Willis.

Secondly, Hughes has definitely struggled these first 2 games but, as I stated earlier, it is only game 2. He could start swinging it better in the next couple of games. He definitely swung it better on the summer. And, unless you haven’t been paying attention to CPM in the last 8 years, he prefers a better defensive 3B than a better hitting 3B. I personally don’t agree with that because I think you play with your best offensive lineup the first 7 innings of the game but I would also like to see how the next couple of weeks play out.

Lastly, TODAY WAS GAME 2. As bad as most of the first two games have looked (other than Cabrera, Duplantis 2 HR, Walker, and Marceaux) it is definitely not indicative of how the rest of the season will go. Apparently you don’t know much about baseball. Baseball is a game that takes time to be played out to see how things will go. If after the next 8 games (the games left before Texas) Hughes hasn’t started hitting the ball, then we can begin this discussion. But we have to let the next 8 games play out.
