11 hours agoBlue Jays desperately needed to hear this good news about rehabbing outfielder
Addison Barger hit a two-run home run in his first rehab game, signaling a positive return from injury for the Toronto Blue Jays.
"We just haven't played very well. It's really every portion of our game. There's been some individual players that have done fine, by all means, who are doing well. As a group, I don't think any part of our team has excelled: Offensively, pitching-wise, starting pitching-wise, defensively."
The Red Sox have, quite frankly, been a miserable watch to kickstart the season. The lineup hasn't done anything with consistency except for ground into double plays, the newcomers have had a rough introduction, the pitching staff isn't generating any swing-and-miss, the bats are generating way too much.
Matt Mervis is someone who I would absolutely love to see with the Nationals at the big league level because of his ability to create runs, be a consistent hitter, and has the potential, if given enough plate appearances, to hit 20+ home runs for the Nationals--his nickname is "Mash" for a reason.
