I think we all would have signed up for 25 HR and 85 RBI from Pedro, regardless of the average…..before the season

Did anyone else look at Pedro’s OPS before Saturday vs. his OPS after Sunday’s game? First pitch on Saturday: .627 – After the game Sunday: .722 – The guy raised his OPS .095 in TWO GAMES!!

Great win. We all keep, somewhere in our hearts, hoping that Pedro will find some success consistently. If he can do that, we will make quite a run I think. If he could hit 265. with 35 hr and 90 RBIs that would be welcome.

I am with you on that point, Nate

True Nate, Barmes being a veteran can handle it. It makes zero sense to bring Mercer up and have him rot on the bench.

“I understand why most Managers like having veteran guys on their bench. They don’t have to worry about keeping them fresh. They know their role…”
If veterens are so good off the bench, then put Barmes there. I’d rather have Harrison or Mercers bat in there at this point.
