Way to gut it out, guys!

JP gets it done. Hitting over .350 with risp.

Edit; whoops, my bad. He's hitting over .370 with risp.

 

[Bobblehead]

WoWooooo...

Damn! Nice hit JP inches inside the LF line.

Woo came through, Muny with another blown save. La Pietro on the bump tomorrow.

Better matchup than Monday for sure.

JP is not a lead off hitter

He had a rough night at the plate before he drove in the winning run, but he came into this game hitting .275 and with a .375 OBP.

Not only is he a lead off hitter, he's a pretty damn good one.

 

[Crizilla]

He hit .200 in the lead off spot last year. If he regains his 2023 form then sure.
Locklear batting .295 in Tacoma can he replace Solano yet?

 

[sutz]

Oh, and ended the 4 game slide as well.

 

[Chapow]

He hit .200 in the lead off spot last year. If he regains his 2023 form then sure.

He had a really poor season last year. He hit .200 overall, not just in the lead off spot.

His BA and OBP so far this season are basically identical to what they were in 2023. Kinda looks like maybe he has regained his 2023 form (so far).

Who would you prefer hit lead off for this team right now? JP looks like the best option we have to me.

Locklear batting .295 in Tacoma can he replace Solano yet?

Been hoping to see that for a couple weeks now.

Seems like Dipoto can be pretty stubborn with these things. The guy stuck with Kolten Wong until the end of July 2 seasons ago.
