I had Weimer making the OD roster over Jacob Young. I thoufht he gave ilus a RH power option we needed on the bench.
I think Weimer could have a very Alex Call like career for us.
No clary 🤦🏻♂️ Wiemer mashes Lefties not righties. Hitting lefties is what hes only been good at in his career so far that is why he was only in the lineup when cubs started a LHP and he was out of the lineup in game 2 when horton was on the mound smh. its bad enough we gotta deal with all the half yawns mid sentence. Be prepared
I don’t understand the jorbit vivas trade. He didn’t play well with the Yankees and he has no options for the minors. Chaparra should still be on this team. Vivas shouldn’t.
Oh please. you're the same guy that said CJ Abrams should be NL MVP last year.
Just watched some Mead highlights. He has a really nice swing. Hope he can make consistent contact. He's an Aussie, like C. Dundee.
They only negative about the Nats yesterday they didn't play small ball .. if they play small ball along with power ball they are a serious threat in the NL East.. when they had the bases loaded in the 4th inning a bunt / small ball would've generated more runs.. love your content but I respectfully disagree with your lineup especially wiemer batting 5th.. Go Nats ##natitude
Here's my suggestion for Joey Weimer, feed the man, Nats.
Joey Joey Joey Joey 🔥
