well so much for the crochet thing. he's gassed already.

That didn't take long.

absolute meat ball hit 88 mph out to RF for a lazy pop fly. Yikes.

I love how vaughn looks it into the mitt as he watches strike after strike go by early in the count. Really professional scrub.

Good job by Lee working through that with Crochet. That was good battling.

what a fucking AB, good god.

man making great piches and he's fouling them off.

You'd think one year Eloy would get the idea that he's going to see junk away to start an AB.

That would be fucking hilarious. JR's precious fellow owners force his hand.

HISTORY! HISTORY!

lol the prize fletcher already discarded. JFC.

It was also clearly predictable that he'd struggle to produce any surplus value when he signed it, even assuming 10 million per WAR in the FA market. He's the sort of signing we love to make, overpay for middling players rather than real stars.

That was so stupid he obviously didn't want to be here and a billion dollar enterprice was just like "please stay on".

lol

one thing that stands out about danny is unlike some of our so called "sluggers" he does not fucking get cheated on his swings. Dude is up there to try and do damage from pitch 1 to whatever.

he really is the poor man's liam. for better and worse.

come the f*** on michael

if there's one good thing about being historically bad it's that anybody we're going to beat is going to feel like absolute dog s%*# if it happens.

Most of what you're seeing there is value relative to position. Vaughn gets dinged something like 20 runs just being a 1st baseman relative to a catcher. And catchers get a massive positional bonus on the other end. I'm not sure if FGs publishes their positional value calculations but it's certainly pretty close to the traditional defensive spectrum with 1B and DH heavily penalized and CF, SS and C heavily rewarded. This is dated but is a good explanation. I think the values are much more extreme now.

The two elite defenders that were already on the team are hurt. Go figure.

Bro literally my first day of offseason BP frosh year of DIII the coach was like "you're never gonna hit for any power with that load". You watch a lot of other teams and they have guys selling out with huge leg kicks and loads and here our guys are looking to slap a grounder into the hole opposite way.
