So are we just going to let Kowar pitch out of the pen in low leverage situations for now?

I looked up Dozier and Soler's stats through today's games. I was jazzed coming into the year for the promise of both of these guys. The original plan was they were supposed to be the number four and number five guys going into the season. Both guys are hitting under .190, and the amount of bad ABs and especially strikeouts are unbelievable. I captured Soler's numbers just as a Royal, didn't grab his Cubs stuff as that really doesn't apply now. Dozier was the eighth player selected in the draft his year. He had a very good year in 2019 and has tanked ever since. Soler has always struck out a lot, but lots of power hitters strike out a lot. He has drawn over 20 walks this season. Only thing is, you need Soler for firepower. You need him to drive in RBIs, not walk. Dozier kind of reminds me a little of late career Jeff Francouer. Had a flash or two in his career, then spiraled down and down and never got back to his promise in Atlanta. He did play 12 years and was a career .261 hitter. I don't know if Dozier is going to last that long in MLB at the rate he's going. Dozier has whiffed 59 times and he's hitting 90 points below his career average, which is currently .238. Maybe this is what and who he really is. Both of these guys may be responsible how many runners we've stranded in scoring position thusfar. I don't know what their stats are for stranding runners, but it's most likely up there among the team lead. I don't think Soler will be here next year. Dozier's new contract means they need to figure out what the Hell is wrong with him, and try to get him back to at least being an average MLB player. I'd take a .240 hitter for the rest of the season if he can manage that.

What does Edward Olivares have to do to get some playing time? Benintendi is hurt, Dozier is like 0 for 100, Gutierrez is garbage, Taylor is awful, Soler can't hit or field. I can't understand why they keep trotting out 4-6 automatic outs every day and won't give this guy a chance.

I watched The Padre's and Reds last night and was sad to see Tatis reinjured his shoulder and had to come out of the game.
Hope it isn't a prolonged injury needing surgery. He is such a fun player to watch that the whole Padres team is entertaining. |

Thanks! I hope he doesn't become injury prone like Mondi. That's my adopted NL team. Entertaining bunch and very hard to hate on.

I like watching the Padres too. Good young team, good balance. MLB network shows a lot of their games, since they are a West Coast Team they're on late at night often. Petco Park has been rockin. Since San Diego lost the Bolts, they're the only game in town now.
