104 MPH exit velocity on the groundout

Fangraphs sure was right about Andujar's defense. Awful.

Haha- honestly, if there's one non-pitcher on the roster who I feel confident in as a long-term starter at his current position, it's Anderson.

That pitch to Stanton was a beauty. His strikeout rate may be concerning to some but he gets them when he needs them.

Tim's defense has really been astounding since mid-May or so. I can't believe people actually wanted to move him off shortstop. He's insane

Avi's defense costs us three bases
-
Tanaka's splitter is pretty much unhittable right now
-
More great defense from Anderson!
-
Yet some act like Torres and Albies are absolute studs who do nothing. Both are in extended, month+ long slumps

Yeah, unless he learns left field or something then I agree. But there were people who wanted one of Moncada/Anderson to move to 3B/outfield or whatever now because second base is Madrigal's. There's a long way to go before we get to that point.I don't have any major gripe with the Madrigal pick. I preferred India but he's struggling too at the moment. The only thing I do have a problem with is the idea that Moncada/Anderson need to be moved from their positions because Madrigal is gonna take one of their spots. That's just so premature to me.PalkaHe's a very good reliever, his peripherals are exceptional. He should be talked about more.In 5 games, we’ve used Ryan Burr one time. Don’t know why we called him up if he’s just gonna sit there, completely freshI asked that hypothetically since you seemed to place so much weight on innings relative to pitches. If that’s the case then I understand and probably agree. What I don’t agree with is acting as if bringing him out to pitch one more inning would have been some irresponsible injury risk, given he had only thrown 87 pitches.So if he had thrown 7 shutout innings with 75 pitches, you’d advocate that he doesn’t throw the 8th?How is it pushing it with a pitch count in the 80sIf he swung at that pitch, there would’ve been a lot of “WHY IS HE SWINGING FIRST PITCH AFTER 3 STRAIGHT BALLS?!?!?!”I thought the oppositeSend him out for the 7th, pull him if he allows a baserunnerEngel needs to make that playHe's such a pesky hitter. Reminds me of those 2008-2010 Twins teams that would just always find a way against us.
