Sure would have been nice to see a side view of that check swing instead of a shot of the announcers and owner in the booth.

I don't care about anything Mark A has to say.

Yeah.  We tune in the see the game.  Not hear what cheapskate thinks.  If you have the GM up there explaining his strategy, different story, but do that between innings

The amount of critics of Chourio here on what is usually a pretty positive and levelheaded forum is crazy to me. 

He’s 22 with plenty of room to grow but the current product is a solid 115 OPS+ outfielder. 

Sometimes here I would think his bat is the equivalent of Joey Ortiz 2025.

This umpire's been hanging out with Towelie.

[Bulldogboy]

Pirates I've never heard of keep hitting homers against the Brewers 

[BCF]

What’s with all the on field delays?

I'll bite. Is that what we were expecting at this point? A solid Tyrone Taylor type outfielder? I would say it's fair to be a bit underwhelmed so far but definitely not a finished product and room to grow. A strong finish would go a long way.

I've seen people call for a couple of days of, which is reasonable.  Haven't seen anyone ask for him to be benched.

Check 2 or 3 game threads ago. It was literally said.

Playing a team that can score is not good for us

You lost me at “Tyrone Taylor”. Jackson Chourio has literally been worth more fWAR in his career so far at age 22 than Tyrone Taylor has been worth in his entire career at age 32. Come on now.

Taylor’s 8 year MLB OPS is .714. What are you talking about?

Mitchell is just not seeing the ball well right now. One week ago he was our best hitter.

That was one loonnnggg week.

Henderson cant work the middle of the zone.

Is this a real take? That Chourio is a TT type outfielder to this point? The guy with a career 97 OPS+ and as much WAR in his career as Chourio has in 2+ seasons

Probably that Doug Melvin guy.

No big deal. You said you haven’t seen anyone call for him to be benched. I just showed you.

Don't focus on the name. It could be Joe Smoe. Is this what you were expecting 3 years in? If so fine. I think it's fair it's been a bit of a frustrating time. Not the end of the world just saying I think it's fair.

5 hole Yeli looks equally as brutal as 4 hole Yeli, 3 hole Yeli and 1 hole Yeli. You cannot accuse him of being inconsistent.
