Abreu's hit tool is so much better than expected

Abreu's hit tool is so much better than expected

I was actually a little surprised he wasn't hitting a little better average and OBP wise, when he was at .260/.305ish, given his Cuban stats as compared to Puig and Cespedes. That's come around now.

Eaton's wRC+ now at 120. If he can maintain something near that and stay healthy, we're talking about a 4 WAR player.

Looks like the rain approaching is dying out, which is nice.

You guys need to lay off this bulls***.

You guys? There's only 1. You don't even need to read the username to know who's posting.

So if there is 30 teams and he is about 90th, that is a pretty solid #3 or 4 starter, which is what they need him to be. You should try to watch a game and just enjoy it instead of having to go reference Fangraphs to see if they can explain to you what you watched.

Yeah, there is like a pocket around the city. I am watching it on my ipad app.

 

Tyler is really bad again.

Do you think he's doing it at the expense at home runs/slugging %?

Feed unbearable for anyone else?

 

Yes. It's stuttering like every 2-3 seconds. Turning this off after Abreu's AB. Giving me a headache.

Not necessarily. He had a sky-high home run per flyball rate which was always likely to come down a little, even though with the type of hitter he is it should remain high compared to the average. From what I can see, the big difference with him compared to the start of the season is he's a little more willing to take pitches outside the zone, even though he still swings at a hell of a lot of them. This is causing pitchers to pitch in the zone a little more, and he's lethal in the zone.

9 more outs for the bullpen, maybe.

Yes. It's stuttering like every 2-3 seconds. Turning this off after Abreu's AB. Giving me a headache.

Do you guys have the same cable company or something? I am watching on MLB.tv and it's fine.

Since when do all these Indians pitchers throw so hard? Carrasco has hit 99 tonight. He's making Dunn look silly. Just like Beckham two weeks ago, Dunn is wasting at bats that could go to someone like Wilkins or Semien.

Dunn has a video game swing or something. He missed that ball by a foot.

Quality Start by Danks!

Feed unbearable for anyone else?

 

 

My feed is fine

Belisario, you are special

So why did they take Danks out?

It's amazing to see a reliever in the non-steroid era stay on a roster all year with an ERA over 6.

Oh so they are doing pitch counts now? I heard they (from Cooper) don't do that but it must be in the early season when its anywhere from the 40-60s that those arms are exposed to higher pitch counts.

There's absolutely no reason at this point in the season, given their record, to push the starters.

I still like Danks. He makes a lot of cash, big deal. So do a lot of guys.

I still dislike Dunn. So shoot me. Can't help it.

Francona has to lead the majors in managerial air time.

That was an unnecessary pitching change.
