I don't think Braden is ready for the show quite yet.

Well Hagen is walking even more batters than Carson was before he got called up. But Carson is the exact cautionary tale. Was rushed up to the big leagues without showing that he had figured out the minor leagues. Then the MLB stint went so badly it set him back for years, leaving him posting worse numbers in the minors afterwards than he had before.

tjstats.ca is the most user-friendly option for AAA Statcast season data AFAIK. They're basically trying to replicate the Baseball Savant pages.

Yeah to me it looks like it could go so badly at the MLB that it could ruin him mentally (and that's not a comment on his mental state, more about how bad I think it could go)

Are you looking for stuff about today's game or season stats?

Hagen Smith, the least watchable pitcher of all time

Oppor is toast. Crazy to keep sending him out there for Birmingham at this point. Either send him back to AZ for a spa trip or at least get him to a lower level of competition.

Yikes, that's terrible then. You really can't be wrong in favor of the runner on a play like that.

TBH, I don't know if that really was the call. I only got that from Gordon who has been less than reliable on matters like that. For all I know, Will got bad advice from whatever staff member looks at the replays.

If that stolen base was officiated correctly, you not only get a run back, but you never need to go to Jordan Hicks because you're not losing at that point

Pretty solid series, I think the Sox looked like they are every bit as good if not better than them. Sox probably win this game if that call at 2B wasn't blown.

I wouldn't let these things totally control my thinking, but Quero has >100 points of OPS on Grichuk vs RHP this season

Well Grichuk is not nearly as likely to hit well against a RHP than against a LHP. To me it vindicates the decision not to use him in the previous inning.

Gonna be out but a good challenge

Now we're back to the umps gifting them the game with the bullshit on the SB

Damn it, Randal. You know we have to cut you why are you making this hard lmao

Mune should try blocking the base, I hear you can do that with impunity

Entering today, Colson was 1 for 18 with 12 K and 3 BB in his career at T-Mobile park. The one hit was a homer. I think he's a funky batter's eye victim.

Give me Joe Rock or give me death!

I would have preferred to see Luisangel tbh

I'm surprised to report that although it's still bad, Quero has been substantially more productive against RHP this season

Honestly I don't know why they pitched to Vargas

Every time I look into what they're doing over there, it looks bleak

Just got a touch more interesting.

Colson will be glad to leave this place. Part of the T-Mobile Park effect is a terrible batter's eye and I have a feeling it bothers some guys more than others.
