Slim to none unless they collapse these last 5 weeks like Pitt did last year and/or there are a lot of upsets in the automatic bid tournaments, causing at-large bids to be at a premium.
Fair enough, but we're getting the Yoyo's and Carrier's, just wish we had more base-stealers (or taught it better). Orlando Gonzales and Javy Rodriguez weren't that fast, but stole a ton of bases.
I don't think the game passed Morris by, he just phoned it in the last 3 - 4 years. As bad as he was those years, his run w us from the late 90's for a decade or more is still very impressive.
Well said, and he and Morris also understood that pitching, speed and defense still wins championships, even in baseball. I make a killing every Oct in MLB by fading the HR hitting teams. Those 10 row up HRs in August are warning track outs in Oct.
You're preaching to this choir. I am simply pointing out that it's apparent by now Gino does not share our view, and this is the best coaching he has done in his short career. So, I think we're stuck w more RF musical chairs.
He only strikes out ~ 1/6 AB while Rosario, Gutierrez and Gonzalez are all 1/3 or worse. It seems obvious Gino simply wants him as defensive replacement at this stage. If that's his role, then at least start getting him in earlier when we have the lead.
