Singles and walks. Give him more credit.

True he’s had a good eye at the plate this year when he’s not hitting hard GBs

Lukes was actually even better at the plate in his ~22 games last season.

I don't remember Loperfido being so tall. Dude is listed at 6'2 but looks at least 6'4. Must be that more upright stance.

Home runs are twice as awesome with a man on base!

Barger was the real all-star snub on this team, he’s one of the best 3B in the game this year

Offense has been impressive. Offensive explosion. Let’s get that run differential up.

This is incredible stuff. Competition for playing time is good, I guess.

Imagine if they'd fired Guillermo years ago like they ought to have done?
