You’re right on.

Pittsburgh would have a 6-7 game lead in this division

100 pct convinced it’s due to how far he starts off the plate

This particular one was a miss outside but the bulk of them are missing high which is a manlet problem more or less (IMO). Non-power guy has to be careful with challenges but he needs to learn the height of his zone as well as possible to get the umps to call it correctly.

Yep, the NL is so much tougher than the AL this year.

Interesting seeing Peters give way to Braden there so Lowe wouldn't be as tempted to tag up

Just brutal offensively. Aside from a few games here and there, particularly against the Twins, this offense absolutely stinks. No ability to come back in games, no clutch hitting, not putting enough pressure on pitchers.

Someone posted that theyre a bottom 5 offense since the ASB and that seems to track.

The team was overperforming. They're just not that good. Offense stinks and starting pitching has floundered. They're going to get spanked if they make the playoffs.

I hope I'm wrong though.

But he has so much movement towards the plate, it’s probably distracting

This team is so feeling the pressure no matter how much they say they aren't.

Offer him that last contract Paulie signed here....unless you think $2.5 million is too steep.

I don't expect a playoff run, I just want to see them in the playoffs.

Nah I think you're right. Either way, super fun season.

Peters got really lucky there

Cruz bomb

Anyone else not totally buying that Vargas is getting a day off for no reason at all, just for the purpose of keeping him fresh going forward? Just had a day off on Monday.

Come on offense, wake up and gain a game back!!

alright break it the f*** open.

It really makes no sense

He had a couple of really hard check swings yesterday. His last swing especially looked painful.

I’m pretty sure Kwan is batting .750 since the ASB

Something fishy about it especially if we dont see all of the rest of these guys get 1 day off now.

DO SOMETHING OFFENSE!

I come back from some yard work and see we got worked over by Brandon Eisert?Jesus Christ...

Well, he must not be hurt too bad
