He was too busy swinging at junk the start of the year. He was "unlucky" to some extent, but your numbers are going to suck when you have the plate discipline he was having...it was really bad. He only has 8 K's in his last 67 PAs! WOW! 3 in his last 30. That in my opinion shows it is way more than balls finally dropping. I looked it up sometime before the All-Star break and IIRC, I don't think the plate discipline stats showed that Braun was swinging at many more pitches out of the strike zone than his career averages. It's possible that it was slightly higher by maybe a percent, but the percentages seemed pretty steady for the most part. If my memory serves, the biggest reason he wasn't hitting as well (besides luck - his launch velocity was still somewhere in the top 30-40 in MLB) was because he was swinging and missing balls IN the strike zone more than he used to. That is almost certainly because of father time and possibly little nagging injuries. -
Late July, the first three of the four game series against SF.

Yeah, unless they can work out a trade.

I wonder how the Red Sox feel about Babe Ruth right now.

I really can't ask much more from a backup catcher. He's hit just fine and his defense has been pretty good (I've been impressed with his arm). Even if he was bad, backup catcher is way down on the list of roster importance.
-
I cannot BELIEVE that Stearns has made some moves that didn't work out. Chaps my hide. That Adam Lind deal will be the death of this franchise. Sometimes I wonder if Rachel Phelps is running the show.

Well, in 2015 I said that Jimmy Nelson would injure his shoulder on the base paths two years later and that eeeeveryone would be all optimistic about him returning some time in 2018 and that turborickey would advise everyone not to their hopes up because he wasn't going to pitch this year. My wife - my WIFE - got on me about turborickey's opinion on the situation. Well look who's laughing now. Look who's laughing now.

I haven't watched Bote's homer, but I say if you hit a walk-off granny when you're down by 3, you are allowed to show boat all you want.

Yeah, Craig needs to power up the DeLorean so he could see there would be one to challenge later... That's not what I meant. CC challenged a play that had no shot of being overturned. At least this replay would've had a 5% chance. Cain was safe, so I believe the call had a shot of being overturned. We, as cynics, didn't think it would be, but since he was safe, it certainly should have been.
-
So we lose a challenge that we should've won and now can't challenge that.
-
I don't think I've seen someone get more doubles on dump-off singles than Freeman.
-
I prefer a catcher with two strikes.
-
We all felt that. Even Hawing.
-
Completely predictable. Looks safe on replay, but officials scared to change the call.
-
It won't be overturned, but I think Cain might have been safe.
-
Pitcher pinch-hitting for the pitcher is awesome.

The second inning of the game on August 12th, 2018? I get so nostalgic for the second inning of today's game! I wish you would stop living in the past. Just because the team was great back in the second inning doesn't mean the logo they wore then is better than what they are wearing at 3:14pm ET.
-
When you get a lot of hits, you get a lot of base runners and, by extension, often have a lot of stranded runners.

I don't think the slowness of today's game is the fault of the game in general, it's the fault of today's pitchers. EDIT: I wanted to go to one of these games, but I couldn't go to last night's game, Friday's game was just tough with schedules (thankfully I missed it), and I wasn't particularly thrilled with sitting in 90 degree weather for 3-4 hours today. Looks like I could have gotten whatever seat I wanted, though.
