If CJ keeps hitting does he still go down when Tatis comes back?

Would we really put Tatis in the OF?

May be it depends on if we add an OF or two via trade?

 

These and other questions will be answered in 3-4 weeks. With Profar, Myers, and Tatis returning while Mazara remains hot v RHP … and the trade deadline adding (or deleting) … will be a LOT of changes.

Would think Azocar, Rooker, and Batten would be the first three to go if no trades. After than?????

Interesting defensive move in the 9th … Kim goes in at SS, Abrams moves to 2B, and Cronenworth to 1B … Hosmer out.

Most of us would agree that is the right defensive move BUT given Hosmer’s status with the club surprised the move was made.

Wonder if with the returning IL players and the trade deadline this could portend a Tatis return to SS … Kim/Abrams at 2B … Cronenworth at 1B … Hosmer sides to DH/1B … and Voit is gone?

CJ is hitting .350 in July... u keep the Hot Bat going... or trade him for Reynolds (all of the sudden the prospect cost (from us) goes way down as CJ could almost lower the cost to 1 for 1 or 1 + lesser specs for 1...

Ruiz getting a chance Before the deadline at CF... might answer enough ?? To keep CJ .. fix CF within..and make 2 different ..less costly (spec wise) adds like Bell (1B/DH) (or Scott Cooper) and Naquin (OF - CF capable 4th Reds)...

Don't get me wrong Bell would still likely cost us Campusano.(in all likelyhood). but not the top top guys (like Reynokds would)

Well the good tonight: Manaea, Cronenworth, Mazara, Abrams … and Machado.

The bad: Grisham’s horrible fielding effort in CF that resulted a triple then the first Rockie’s run (plus his AB are still lacking); Voit and Alfaro’s AB are looking one dimensional in COLO … not in a good way.

Got to give Alfaro a STAR for that infield single... dude goes home to 1st faster than Azocar and CJ.... he 💯 sells out and beats his fair share of infield hits...him being safe at 1st won us the game.. otherwise CJ would have a 2 run bomb ...not 3...

We can add closer to our list of serious problems, actually all relievers except Crismatt and Martinez ( he most likely take Gores spot in the rotation ) . Hopefully the injured RP can return and pitch effectively , if not then we are in trouble .

 

Also add Grisham 's defense to the problem list , He has looked below average lately with another terrible play last night. 2 outs and he should've kept the runner at 1st instead of 3rd and the run cut the lead and gave the Rockies a chance to get back in the game .

What's worse is he just ran past the ball like I dont think he saw it or lost it... i was like dude lift your glove up and you got an out wtf..completely over ran the ball then had to go left and back to retrieved it..

Literally said "AJP needs to cut him after the game and bring up Ruiz" .. and "SDP 2 Grishman 1"...

BTW ..Alfaro once again saves the day with his hustle... if he is out at 1B.. we go extras and who knows what happens...Alfaro's hustle (IF hit) was the ultimate difference in the 6-5 Win!

1-0 6 to Go..Lets Go Padres!

Acee says that Ruiz could be activated today with Batten going back down if Kim is good to go.
