Yoshida Slander is getting way out of hand on this sub lol
Got into argument about Yoshida getting more playing time or not, fair enough, reasonable minds can disagree. But there a lot of people here who have an absolutely irrational animus against Yoshida.
Yoshida hit that basically game-winning double against the Yankees the other day to complete the sweep. You have people on here saying that play "was completely laughable."
I think criticism of Yoshida is perfectly normal but this is getting weird and out of line to be calling even his objectively clutch plays laughable
Associated Press finally updates their story, acknowledges Cavalli said "Sit Down, Boy" and that it has racist connotations
They just did so like 10 minutes ago. Still took them a few hours when it was pretty clear immediately to all of us what was said. Better late than never I guess.

Why do we keep benching Yoshida? Romy DHing instead of Masa makes no sense
Nats have a right handed pitcher. Romy is a right handed batter. He just went 0-4 against the Yankees when Masa got the crucial double.
Masa’s double against the Yankees was way more important than Duran’s walk off hit at 4-4. We were down then 4-3 when Yoshida was at bat with only runner at first, and expected to lose from probability standpoint. After that hit we became expected to win.
I don’t understand how much management actually hates Yoshida. God forbid we actually give Yoshida consistent playing time especially when he’s had a great past couple of games?
Yoshida was 1/4 yesterday with 1 run which is perfectly good.
EDIT:
Masa's stats the last 7 days: batting .364 with a 1.144 OPS. This is gross mismanagement
Slow Motion Replay of Yoshida’s Immaculate Sliding Form to Avoid the Tag at Second Base
This was a new angle I saw and slowed down replay of his slide to second base yesterday. What a play
Masataka Yoshida comes off the bench to get crucial hit to get tying and winning runs in scoring position
I WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOSHIDA
Just saying some you guys have been downvoting me for weeks about playing Yoshida more and we finally do too late and he ties us the game
[Highlight] Yoshida leadoff home run against the Yankees
Tolle 72 ounce steak challenge he won
Dude is a beast lol
Lineup today. Yoshida is off the team basically—benched for Gasper and Duran
Yoshida started our 4 run rally yesterday and is rewarded by being benched for Duran who’s at Mendoza line and Gasper who is not good
We literally don’t win the game yesterday if Yoshida doesn’t bat and if Gasper does.
I don’t think he’s getting playing time again.
Btw Yoshida has like a 1.300 OPS against Warren too lol
Apologize to Caleb Durbin
Bro just hit the go ahead home run against the Yankees the day after dislocating his finger. If you don't watch the games or don't know ball also let us know
We're Actually the Worst Team in Baseball
lmfao i have no words
CEDANNE RAFAELA CYCLE WATCH
He's hit triple, double, single, just needs a home run in next 5 innings
UPDATE: SELL THE TEAM
Since May 28, Caleb Durbin is hitting .319 with a .611 slug, .940 OPS, 12 extra-base hits, 4 homers and 13 RBI in 20 games.
reddit.comMe watching tonight’s game thinking we still have a 10% chance to make the playoffs
Mods pls don’t delete there is no game thread today to post my into right now
Where is Oviedo?
I know he got injured like in Spring Training but literally haven’t even heard anything at all about his status. We could really use him as a starter rn with Bello down. From my understanding he was going to miss just first few months of the season but we are past that at this point . . .
Is Yoshida permanently benched now? He’s not playing today against a RHP
That’s inexcusable. Yes he hasn’t been playing well recently but he’s still way better than Gasper who is a AAA guy who is DHing today in his spot.
I don’t get why we give a lot of players an extremely long leash, playing them game after game when they were batting sub .200, yet even when Yoshida is playing well below his standard, he’s still batting .238 which is not terrible.
I’m out this year if we permanently bench Yoshida.
