PEOPLE WHO SUCK CONFORTO

Need a Freidman gif for this one

 

still above the Mike Davis bar by 10rbi and 5 HRs
and he has played decent D at times
not much fun to watch though
the fact he came from the gnats makes it worse

 

Jason Schmidt says hold my beer.

 

Just to be inclusive to the topic thread...

​

 

CT3 is 5X better with the glove & plays more positions than Cuntforto ... so yes!

 

they see it and know exactly what they're doing
in the same way they try to placate every social justice cause they're placating their black superstar that is bored in right field and wants a challenge
they were so committed they made an unnecessary acquisition to cement him at ss and intentionally ignore the resurgence of Miggy in the twilight of his career
i know Rojas is unhappy about it too because i've seen him in post game interviews and he doesn't hide his emotions very well
they can say its for the team and try and bs everyone that meeting was just "about his swing" the other day but we all see the truth
and while i marveled at Mookie taking balls all over the diamond everyday before games it turns out he had an agenda after all
i wonder if he still takes balls all over the diamond now that he has what he wanted?
that would be a very telling question to have answered

 

Some Conforto from this morning's Athletic...............

The spot found Michael Conforto again in the second inning Thursday. The mere fact that a day off for Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández meant Conforto was hitting cleanup was a statement of just where the Dodgers’ lineup is at. The result, a strikeout with the bases loaded, was the continuation of a $17 million gamble that has gone bust.

He finished the day hitless with a sacrifice fly. Through Thursday, only two hitters with at least 350 plate appearances have produced a worse OPS than Conforto’s .611. Among that group, Conforto and Nick Castellanos are tied with a league-worst 0.8 WAR, according to FanGraphs.

“I’ve obviously given Mike a lot of leash,” Roberts said. He sat down Conforto for a series of conversations this past week, urging the one-time All-Star to dial back his urge to make up for lost numbers. It resulted in a strong weekend against the Padres, but he remains in a hole.

The Dodgers simply need better production in left field. Entering Thursday, only the Kansas City Royals have produced a lower Outs Above Average (-2.4) out of the left-field position than the Dodgers (-1.9). Among the teams level with the Dodgers in left-field ineptitude this season are the Padres, who went out and addressed the issue last month in acquiring the red-hot Ramón Laureano.

Conforto’s relative upswing in July (.827 OPS) was enough that the Dodgers felt content with Alex Call being their lone position player acquisition. Roberts reiterated Thursday that he sees left field largely as a platoon between the two, though Call put together a solid series at Coors Field to bring his Dodgers numbers to 9-for-30 (.300). Thursday, Call reached three times in five plate appearances, drawing a pair of walks to go with a single.

“As you start kind of getting into September, you’ve got to figure out the guys that you’re going to go with,” Roberts said. “I think it’s just up to the guys that are in there that day to go out there and perform.”

A return to health could also change things. Roberts pointed to Kiké Hernández’s likely return next week as a potential tipping point. Perhaps Hernández could play center field against left-handed pitching, moving Pages to right field, Hernández to left and Conforto (and Call) to the bench. It appears to be under consideration. Maybe Kiké Hernández takes some left-field starts. When Hyeseong Kim returns, that’s another left-handed bat in the mix.

 

Leash? You've given him a feckin LEASH!?!?!

More like a bungee cord, you twat. And it broke months ago ...

 

There's a perfect option
The broken record of mookie back in right
And allow one of the other 20 shortstops that can play the position to take over at short
