Wade is a better option at 3B than Odor. I feel for Voit, there's just no where to play him since the Yankees clearly want to limit Stanton's time in the OF.

It’s not near as painful to have DJ out of the lineup this year as it would have been the past couple of seasons, but really… Odor? He’s spent a lot of time sitting lately, and for good reason.
Boone really seems to dislike Wade. Maybe he kicked Boone’s puppy or something. We’ve seen so many hopeful signs out of Tyler this season, but he’s probably going to be scapegoated and dealt away this winter… Trade that bench, that’ll make us so much better! Locastro can be the pinch-runner guy next year instead of the popular home grown guy… hmm. I guess Locastro will be the new Gardner next year too. Designed to be the fourth/ fifth outfielder…

I could look it up but I don't want to, it's been a long time since Odor has started a game. I imagine he's going to be rusty. |

271 .372 .451 .823. That’s Brett Gardner’s slash since the first of August. 35 starts, 45 total games. 5 doubles, 2 triples, 5 HR, all three of his steals for the year. The veteran has certainly come through at the of the season when needed.
The rhetoric is that he wears down during the season. Truthfully, he’s been pretty consistent from month to month with the exceptions being that his best months have generally come in June and July. He’s tended to swoon in August with a bit of a revival in September, but not to the levels that he’s reached in June, where has a lifetime BA of .296, nor even July, when he’s averaged .273. The perceptions of late season wear and tear have been more a product of his streaky hitting than reality. I imagine he’s finished now. His BA of .223 matches the average he achieved last season. His reluctance to steal bases reduces the value of his speed…

I could look it up but I don't want to, it's been a long time since Odor has started a game. I imagine he's going to be rusty. Here is the sickening news. Last started, September 8. Last hit, September 1. 0 for his last 13 and 2 for his last 39. At Leary one of those two hits was a solo home run. Dear Hal, for the love of all that’s just, please give him back where you got him. Dear Aaron, don’t you think the Wade boy has a better chance to help the team today. Can Odor be tripped on the dugout before game time? Can you please, please leave him off the post-season roster?… Maybe if we get a 1-0 lead in the first inning you could pull him for “defensive purposes”. This is so sad and illogical. Give the little shit a gold watch and tell him to go home and buy a farm and tend to it… |

Since Wade’s hot stretch from 7/30-8/29 when he went 18 for 41 (439 .540 .537 1.077), he’s logged 13 at bats… Boone’s an ass for not using him today…

I picked up Sox pitcher Pivetta for my fantasy team because my team has sucked the past couple weeks and I hope it continues. I've also asked my dead Polish grandmother to put a pox on the Sox.

I think Gardner and Judge both swung at ball four.
