Jose Abreu

Ha, Ruiz came out of the pen after the 8th and must have gotten called back.

Lol, they called Ruiz back?

Ruiz. And that's who they're going with

No, it's an easy question and the answer to it is no. If all you care about is one stat, and being below average in that one stat does not necessarily prevent one from being a productive player, then maybe you should rethink your method of analysis. You're telling me you wouldn't want Joey Gallo on your team because of his k-rate, despite his status as one of the best hitters in the sport since 2017?

Because you're not taking any risk. Anderson isn't getting thrown out tagging up to 2nd because he's Tim Anderson. If we were talking about Abreu or Alonso on first base then things would be different.

You can do it yourself now in account settings. New feature

Also Guyer hit the IL the other day

A .714 OPS from a 22 year old in MLB is bad?

Nice Cordell

Cool. Now demote him to Kannapolis until he learns not to swing at the first 3 pitches.

Many scouts thought he was MLB ready when we signed him in 2017 and you want him to stay in the minors until late 2021? Who cares about k-rate when the guy hits lasers every time he makes contact? What does he have to gain from that?

Interesting

This doesn't apply to Tim Anderson. Absolutely no shot that any left fielder throws him out tagging to second from the warning track.

Lopez needs to tone down that celebration, respect the game! Next time he bats in a game he should get plunked!

Yeah, he had hit 97 and 98 multiple times before that pitch. One of their many errors today

I'm not as anti-Benetti and Stone as the rest of you but they've been awful today. Keep saying incorrect things

Since there was no game today there was no media scrum, so I'd expect something tomorrow

Nobody

Anderson

I see. Gameday says it wasn't but it's probably just not accurate.

Was it really a SB or did he just advance on the wild pitch?

I don’t care how much Robert K’s in A+ because his BABIP is relatively sustainable. If you put an MLB quality player in A+ he’ll have an abnormal BABIP. Example: Juan Soto

Troutwine has been awesome at the plate but I’m a big Carlos Perez guy. Think he’ll be quality MLB backup catcher. Love his offensive approach.

Couldn't agree more. We know what Sanchez is. We don't know what we have in the young, natural shortstop who slugged .500 at AAA. He needs ABs.
