I agree with Correa and Buxton probably needing a bit of time off but man with a big 6 game road trip coming up I feel like we need them in the lineup

I’m tired of Kepler and just ready for him to be off this team. Bring up Larnach or Wallner. Larnach and Wallner are like 25/26, they need reps to see if they can actually contribute to this team as youngsters or not. There’s no point in continuing to trot out Kepler. I get it Kepler is a good defender but he’s worn out his welcome here and it seems like the entire fan base is pretty much ready for him to go

Im so glad Royce is okay after that really scary collision yesterday. Obviously losing him team wise would be bad but man more so it would freaking suck for him to get hurt with a ridiculous play like that after his ACL surgeries. Glad to hear he’s just bumped/bruised and should be fine going forward

I do agree this team probably needs to look to the trade marker for a bat, obviously trades this early don’t really happen but definitely once the trade deadline comes they need a bat. Preferably a power right handed corner OF bat so we don’t have to keep trotting out Garlick versus lefties because it’s a waste of a roster spot when you’ve got a guy who can mash lefties but is awful versus righties when you’ve got an offense that’s just dead.

If anything the offensive approach needs to be adjusted. We have good players but the offensive approach has just been bad. You’ve gotta assume Popkins seat is currently an inferno

A big missed opportunity to put some distance between us and the rest of the division with dropping the last 2 to Cleveland. Needed to go 3-1 there.
Big 6 game road stretch with the rays and blue jays. Just gotta hope to go 3-3, tread water. Rotation is good enough to do that we just need some offense to show up

Looking at the rest of the division this week, Tigers are in Philly then home Arizona, Cleveland has home Boston and then home Houston, White Sox are at Yankees and then home Miami. And then the royals are dead for the division

So looks to be a similar tough week for pretty much everyone in the division, twins hardest schedule but no one looks to have a real tough stretch.

Once this week is over we have a stretch where we have 7 games versus the tigers in a 2 week stretch that will be pretty crucial
