Re: 2019 Aaron Boone Performance Thread
I would appreciate it if Gardner wasn't leading off. He doesn't deserve to and he's probably the worst hitter in the lineup.

Re: 2019 Aaron Boone Performance Thread
Wasn’t thrilled about the signing but he makes the most sense lead off or 9th. DJ LeMahieu is the other until Hicks returns
The sky is falling! We are doomed!

Re: 2019 Aaron Boone Performance Thread
I don't get this. What do you have to do to deserve to be batting leadoff? That job is to see a lot of pitches, get on base, and most importantly to score runs. Even in an off year last year Gardner scored plenty enough. It's not ideal, but without Hicks I don't see a better solution. Maybe Torres down the road, but he's not ready for that now.
Let the kids play.

Re: 2019 Aaron Boone Performance Thread
Boone has learned nothing since last year.
He's still trying to steal from tomorrow. Saving Chapman in game 2 of the season as he sends Holder out for a second inning with the game close.
Play for today. Please.There's a sinister plot a brewin'

Re: 2019 Aaron Boone Performance Thread
I understand we’re only supposed to post positive things. But batting your worst hitter (by a mile) leadoff and the bullpen usage today made no sense. The game was 2-1 when Paxton left with a rested Otavino, Britton, and Chapman in the bullpen. That trio faced just one batter. Very puzzling.

Re: 2019 Aaron Boone Performance Thread
Batting Gardner leadoff is a horrible idea.
Worst part is he will be forced into the decision when Hicks comes back.
It’s clear that Boone is still pretty clueless.

Re: 2019 Aaron Boone Performance Thread
It wasn't the reason for the loss, see RISP fails, but I did not like the decision to go with Holder a second inning. You just came off consecutive of days, with another off day thrown in, why not go with an arm that had not been used like a Kahnle?

Re: 2019 Aaron Boone Performance Thread
You think we can give all the players 50 plate appearances before painting any pictures of their performance? Remember how we all had Didi for MVP at the end of April last year, then had him sent down to AAA at the end of May? 2 games means nothing.
A much bigger problem that some seem to think has no bearing is that there was only 1 lefty in the lineup today against a RHP, and he went 0 for 5. I don't care how well our righties hit righties, if we don't get Didi and Hicks back soon we're going to see more of what we saw today.Let the kids play.
