No question! Is he a better first baseman after his idiotic decision not to get vaxxed, and to rush back in a weakened condition? No.<br /><br />Is it worthwhile to see what Kluber has? Absolutely. Is it worthwhile to see what he has until a five-run inning is in the making? Uh, no.<br /><br />Should Gio be the regular third baseman until further notice? Of course! Should he be the regular third baseman when he can't hit or field balls cleanly? You be the judge!<br /><br />I know the supposed rule: guys shouldn't lose their jobs when they get hurt. In the age of guaranteed, six- and seven-figure salaries, that's sillier than ever. If they can't produce, they should sit, or work off the rust somewhere else.<br /><br />HoraceClarke67https://www.blogger.com/profile/03299217246593595653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-80183949177348309332021-08-31T17:33:47.218-04:002021-08-31T17:33:47.218-04:00I believe this is called "reversion to the me...<br />I believe this is called "reversion to the mean."<br /><br />It is yet one more facet of Suckitude. <br /><br />A good team would overcome it . . .
