Best platoon player in the league. Gotta keep Varsho's and Kiermaier's bats in the lineup.

When you are paying Kiermaier and IKF a combined 18 million for 2024, unfortunately you cannot consistently bench them for Schneider. Not sure why they insist on Varsho batting 4th though, when he is best suited in the bottom of the order.

It's crazy to me that still happens. If Varsho was a righty bat, he probably batting 9th

IKF/KK/Varsho/Biggio are all #9 batter quality batters, and Clement is a rookie. Schneider honestly, I could see hit 30 HRs in a season if he plays 4 out of every 5 games. He needs to be a permanent starter

Why are we force feeding a prime batting position to someone who never had an OPS higher than .775 in this entire career?

Unforgivable for our second batter, who is so important that we moved him up to swing at that stupid pitch in the dirt. We have a man on. Zero outs. Pitcher was floundering.

Because we traded Moreno for him

(did you know his dad played in the major leagues!)

((now that we have him, he’s our centerfielder. He brings defensive value. But that’s about it.)))

Talk about compounding your mistake. Why don’t we try to recoup something.

Is Davis Schneider really that bad vs right handers that it’s worth platooning him with biggio

This one’s over early as expected, maybe put a serious lineup out tomorrow
