Nick Madrigal hits a homer and the whole world collapses.

This entire bullpen has regressed HARD this year.

Jason loved it.

Inning and a half in 17 minutes, liking this pace!

Of course he is 8th in the single velocity incident rankings at 116.8m, so it is in there for sure.

For reference point, over the same period of time Yoan went from 90.3 up until May 17, and May 18th til now he is 93.7

What's wild is his season long exit velocity is barely over BIlly Hamilton and one of the lowest on the team. I wonder if it has to with his two strike approach weighting it down. Even Adam Eaton is 88.5 mph. Abreu is 92.3 on the top end, and Grandal with 93.2.

What is interesting... season exit velocity 87.5mph Since May 18 86.2 mph Before May 18 88.0 mph. Not a huge difference in exit velocity, but definitely a drop off.

Since LaRussa backed over Yermin for hitting homers, he is .145/.226/.200/.426 What is really interesting is he has a .159 BABIP since that point.

No one would really shock me, but in his case it doesn't really matter. We already own him for years.

Call me crazy, but it might not be a bad idea to see who falls apart after the foreign substance crackdown to see if a guy like Lynn is still worth extending or not.

Worth noting from the previous article....

Well, at least Dad has his back.

Shoutout to Lucas Giolito for being the one willing together tossed for standing for the players on this team over the crap ass strike zone

Grindyness.

You can freak out over whatever you feel the need to. But the point being made had nothing to do with your post.

He hadn't played a baseball game since March 20th. Apparently he needs more time.

So he is slightly below average in the middle of his slump. That's still not something to really get excited about.
