Can we please bring up Kim, Outman, Ruiz, Hope, or De Paula? I am tired of watching 1 for 19 Pages needing a road map to find fly balls in center field and a copy of 'Base Running for Dummies.'
The announcers today tried to sell us on Pages lost it because it was a knuckleball. Wrong, it was a knucklehead! Pages had the same panicky, "I'm lost going straight back," look in his eyes Sunday as the other day.
Pages can't hit RH pitching but can LH. Outman can't hit LH pitching but he can RH and we all know you see twice as many RH pitchers than LH in a season.
But right now I will take Kim, Ruiz, Hope, or De Paula, even Rushing if they can play CF. They can't do any worse in the batter's box, but if they can do better in CF then bring them up.
Reminder, the far better CF Outman was sent down doing better than Pages during his Sophomore 2024. In 2023 Outman's Rookie year was better than Pages. What is the reason for the delay? We complained if umpires are not consistent. Well, the team needs to be consistent.
Vargas strolled into home to late, misplayed LF, and hit better than Pages and was traded--to the White Sox!
Time to trade Pages before he has zero value and bring up somebody, anybody from the MiLB.
Consider this my Mail-Box Monday. I will try to remember to post it there as well.
