Would have to look it up...would take an incredibly fast runner to get there before the ball went out of play. Usually you see that on wild throws to 1B going into the dugout/stands and runners from 3rd and 2nd scoring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 In other news, Andrew Vaughn has crashed back down to earth. A 497 OPS this last week. 650 the last two weeks. 847 last month. He had his little hot month, just wasn't with us this year. He's going to have another replacement level season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocked he was ever so highly rated. Defense has been fine but he can’t hit anything in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Royals bringing in all their high leverage guys here is sorta surprising but I'll take it as a sign of desperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His upside is utility guy. not impressed, has one extra base hit since joining the team, but his OBP is surprisingly high. dunno if he's even a utility player, wouldn't really trust him at 3rd. seems like he has to have a crazy babip if he's gonna be effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In hindsight getting him off the damn roster and clogging up 1st base / DH was a turning point this season. Allowed the youngsters to emerge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 Tauchman has a really pretty swing. Being lefty helps of course but he's short and quick. Easy to see why he can hit for a high average in today's game. I'm surprised he hasn't had more chances in his career to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 (edited) https://baseballrulesacademy.com/official-rule/mlb-umpire-manual/awarding-bases-on-wild-throws/ Looks like KC crew was wrong on advancing 2 bases on a wild pitch on a ball that goes out of play...they were confusing with wild throw from infielder/outfield er going out of play.

No knock on mead he's obviously a pro, but physically baldwin has longer levers and way more power in his lower half. Whoever the scout was that recommended baldwin 12th round did a great job.

chitownsportsfan Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 (edited) Baldwin is a lot easier to like when he's playing solid defense that's for sure. Maybe just park him in LF next year f*** it Beni can rot. Edited August 27 by chitownsportsfan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
