I think most of us would agree with that.

@ Morel talk but what explains an entire season of (at best) mediocrity?

Morel has swung defensively throughout his entire MLB career. The difference this year was contact. Last year he would hit it softly to second base...this year he misses entirely.

He can fist pump like Tiger, but can he pull tail like Tiger? Only Beckham knows

I don't understand why you're so adamant in defending such a low ceiling player. I think Brent could very well be an important part of our future, but I don't see where all this certainty is coming from

That was an amazing play.

The slim chance for history just went away

I can't be mad at Alexei given the quality of pitches that he's missing

I always talk to my friends about how despite the great numbers from Sale, he hadn't come full circle yet. Misses spots too often at times, occasionally doesn't mix up pitches, just generally not maximizing potential. Today is what it looks like when he doesn't miss spots, uses all of his pitches effectively, and is just generally a badass

This guy is making some straight up amazing pitches to Paulie

MERCY

Will Rhymes looks like he'd be better suited for the Kentucky Derby

Hate on our offense all you want, but you have one of the most talented pitchers in professional baseball on the mound and he is just hitting his spots like mad

Moore just making great pitches

No meltdowns, show some f***ing sack

damn

Got one more guy to get now Chris

That whole thing took way too long to develop

Zobrist had the right idea...just guess on a pitch

That's all on Paulie...there were literally three pitches right down the middle in that at bat. Just speaks to the kind of stuff that Moore has

Odd that Moore hasn't gone with an offspeed to PK yet

Got away with two mistakes so far to Paulie.

That's one of the worst swings I've ever seen on a fastball

Dunn!

I think we're gonna score some runs off this guy. That fastball won't look so fast at belt height the second time around.
