Why don’t we just give Pedereater his walking papers and bring up anybody from the farm that has any ability to hit the **** baseball…..I think enough is enough.

You got that right!

[Gerald G]

Who and what are we talking about?

Who and what are we talking about?

I am going to assume it's Joc Pederson. Underperforming free agent signing of the Rangers in the offseason.
Batting a paltry .127 with a sub .500 OPS from your DH is alarming.

oh you men of little patience; I got this stuff from MLB.com; just sayin..

IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST

Bryce Harper, Nationals, May 31 to June 23, 2018 -- .143/.265/.229, 1 HR in 83 PA

In May and June 2018, the 2015 NL MVP went through a particularly rough 20-game stretch, but by the end of the season, he’d found is footing, finishing with 34 home runs, a Major League-leading 130 walks, and an .889 OPS. It was enough to earn him a record-breaking $330 million free-agent contract with the Phillies.

Paul Goldschmidt, D-backs, April 27 to May 22, 2018 -- .116/.224/.163, 1 HR in 98 PA

Goldschmidt had made the All-Star game the previous five seasons and finished in the top three of NL MVP voting three times for the D-backs, but he struggled badly early in 2018. On May 22, he was below the Mendoza Line, but he found his stroke, hitting .328 from May 23 on, and even made his sixth straight trip to the Midsummer Classic. Goldy finished the year with a .290/.389/.533 slash line and 33 home runs, was traded the following winter to the Cardinals and signed a five-year, $125 million extension before the season even began.

Mike Trout, Angels, Aug. 1-23, 2015 -- .176/.315/.270, 1 HR in 89 PA

Even Trout, probably the best player of this generation and an all-time great, has gone through some slumps. He had injured his left wrist diving for a ball in the outfield toward the end of July, and missed a couple of games, but he pointed to issues with his front-foot timing in his swing as the root of his power outage. Of course, the slump didn't last much longer beyond that. Trout had a big September to reach the 40-homer plateau for the first time, finished second in the AL MVP voting and has somehow gotten even better since then.

Aaron Judge, Yankees, Aug. 16 to Sept. 11, 2016 -- .130/.208/.188, 1 HR in 77 PA

Judge crushed a home run in his very first Major League at-bat on Aug. 13, 2016, against the Rays at Yankee Stadium. He hit another the next day, and he went 2-for-3 with a double the day after that. Then the strikeouts started piling up. In 22 games from Aug. 16 through Sept. 11, Judge managed just one home run and nine hits in 77 plate appearances, while striking out 37 times -- including 14 multi-strikeout games.

While I agree I’m not sure he’s up to snuff with those guys. He sure isn’t the marketing pull that they are.

Pedereater isnt anywhere close to the same caliber player as Harper, Trout, Goldy, or Judge..............time to send him down the road.
