  7. Thank you for being the voice of reason. I was going crazy hearing all these people predicting that HSK will start 2B over Gavin Lux. This is why this is my favorite Dodger podcast. 💙

  8. both walkoffs were memorable because of the great announcers. vin scully dragged out the gibson homer with high drama. joe davis hit his own homer with "gibby meet freddie".

  9. Lux has a .250 career average, strikes out 25% of the time, and averages only 5 HRs and 4 stolen bases per season. He only plays 2nd base and is an average defender. Even if HSK bats .225, he’ll be an upgrade over Lux with better defense, more base stealing, and bat-to-ball skills.

  10. Lux as a prospect was getting generational player comps, and after many years, he's proven he's barely replacement level. It's time to cut the chord and ship him off and acquire better value for the team atm.
