To pull what I put in the minor league games thread: We could use that from a left handed centerfielder right about now, even if there's growing pains.

Just to give context to Colas' tear right now, his home run rate in Birmingham is 8.9 AB/HR. Here's the top 20 all time: Rank Player (age that year) AB per HR Year PA Bats 1. Barry Bonds (36) 6.52 2001 664 L 2. Mark McGwire (34) 7.27 1998 681 R 3. Josh Gibson+ (25) 7.80 1937 183 R 4. Mark McGwire (35) 8.02 1999 661 R 5. Mark McGwire (32) 8.13 1996 548 R 6. Barry Bonds (39) 8.29 2004 617 L 7. Babe Ruth+ (25) 8.48 1920 617 L 8. Barry Bonds (38) 8.67 2003 550 L 9. Barry Bonds (37) 8.76 2002 612 L 10. Babe Ruth+ (32) 9.00 1927 691 L 11.

Luke Voit (29) 9.68 2020 234 He's doing all that while sporting a .353/.439./920 line with a 9.2% walk rate and 23.5% strikeout rate. It's not like he's only hitting home runs. He's just fucking raking.

Exactly. TLR literally just has to manage by the numbers.

What fucking force of nature possessed this man?

This + the Engel pinch running decision last night. See what happens when Tony makes good decisions?!

Engel needs to be playing every game that Robert is out, god damn.

I continue to weep.

I weep.

A little patience would have been nice, Lenyn ?

Menechino's Muchachos!

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Chris Sale needs to return to the White Sox (and possibly bring Herm, idk) to revitalize his Hall of Fame career track.

With Colas entering Top 100s, this has got me kind of jazzed.

Or just plain bad. I'll repost this every time: When I lived in Missouri, it pained me having to watch the Royals broadcast when they played the Sox.

Fingers crossed that Colas keeps hitting like a mad man, cause we know that's the route the org would take.

Abreu at 3.5 fWAR is the 3rd most valuable first baseman in the MLB (behind Freeman and Goldschmidt), most valuable in the AL.

Cites Jose's batting average, a statistic. Mentions "non-stat" people.

Montgomery, Colas, Ramos, Vera, Mena, Sosa, Schultz, and Palette is a pretty satisfying Top 8 considering where we started the year.

While Tatis Sr.'s comments have been Lavar level dumb in wake of Jr. getting popped for steroids, if Daniel Tatis is a good prospect, I don't care what his last name is, sign him.

@WeinoChi's Dad for manager.

I hope we get so much use out of this. Top tier meme.

My takeaways:

Those motherfuckers did it.
