Uh oh, Turner leaves after getting hit on his finger during a bunt attempt.

Brian Dozier -- is he part of The Walking Dead? He has an OPS+ of just 10 YTD, and with Kendrick back and en fuego, he's losing playing time again. Since Minny moved him last season, he's hit just .173. Has he gone over the falls?Comment

He was at the very top of my "never again" list after last season. He is very clearly on a sharp downhill slope - all the numbers support that. I would bet that a few more weeks of this leads to the Nats lowering the Kieboom on him.Originally posted by revo View PostComment

This can't be a real thing, because I can't think of a reason for it, but I have a lot of examples in mind of 2bmen who fall off a cliff never to return. I'm not sure why that position sticks out to me for steep declines. But I still wanna believe Dozier is capable of pulling out of his tailspin. There was the rumor out there that he was playing hurt last year, after all.Originally posted by Pauly View PostComment

It's been essentially a little over 2 weeks...something you MIGHT notice in July, but really wouldn't pay a lot of attention to. Everything is exaggerated at this time of year, I wouldn't get too concerned until it's something like 125 or so AB's..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Normally I'd agree, but Dozier's struggles are not limited to 2019. I do not see this as a sample size issue -- .189/.287/.342 over his last 428 PA (arbitrary endpoints warning!)Originally posted by Hornsby View PostComment

Tell that to the Nats, who have now had Dozier on the bench in three of their last four games.Originally posted by Hornsby View Post
Let's just say if I wasn't a Dozier owner I'd cross him off my "Acquire" list.Comment

I hope you are right otherwise I made a very bad investment. He was playing with a right-knee bone bruise last year so thinking he will rebound this season. Now he has a sore toe and is day-to-day.Originally posted by Hornsby View PostComment

If for some reason they don't want to bring Kieboom up (though I note that he's played three games at 2B for the first time in his career), they also have this journeyman at AAA who's crushing it in a tiny sample: https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.asp...58&position=2BOriginally posted by Pauly View PostIn the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

True, but as Pitbull indicated, Dozier was suffering from an injury last year. It could well be that he's just fallen off the cliff at age 31, but it would be somewhat of a shocker if it's true.Originally posted by Ken View Post"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

As I Kieboom owner, I'm torn. He is hitting very well in the minors, but his K rate is still higher than ideal at nearly 30%. I think he could use a bit more time in the minors. I think he gets it. They paid Dozier a fair amount and it is still a very small sample size for this year.Comment

Not really, just a 1 yr $9m deal. It would be a bad beat, but there’s been far worse.Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostComment

I think it may be early, but I just can't sit him.
I hope Carter goes Kieboom a couple of times today!Comment
