He is kind of like a penny stock. The ticker gets pumped and everyone jumps on for the climb up. You know you should take the profits and run but you get greedy and before you can blink twice the other shoe drops and you are down 30% on the trade.
(this is not financial advice)
Agreed. I don't know what Miami had to offer in terms of picks between now and then but the projection of Miami hopefully lands us in a great spot when those picks come due. Long, LONG term health of the team those could be incredible.
Do kids these days know what 'pepper' is? Do they still play it? I feel like that could be a good nickname for Sal. Doesn't swing and miss much, most of his contact is able to be handled softly, etc
Just some random poking around with Turang stats... found this which is not much but maybe of note.
At bats when he swings at the 1st pitch: .310/.359/.548/.906
At bats when he takes the first pitch: .237/.376/.409/.784
All things considered 15 pitches a good outcome that frame. I think they said he threw 81 in his last rehab outing? Correct me if that's wrong. Would be great to get him through 5. Gravy for anything beyond..
I see the Cubs were rained out and will play a DH on Wednesday then finish the series Thursday before coming to MKE. It would be too bad if that is a taxing stretch for their bullpen..
I'll give someone a nickel if they can venture a guess which of our scouts dug up Wagoner even though he didn't pitch his last year of college because of academics...
Oh my gosh Freddy got pummeled. His era is in the upper 4s now. New York media has already been hard on him this year.. They are going to throw him under the bus this week.
Just anger resurfacing in different ways. The subject of the anger doesn't matter - some folks just need the release. Attacking Chourio both yesterday and today is an odd choice but I'm glad they have the outlet.
I don't have the answer - the only thing I came up with a week+ ago when we were talking about this was that Yelich has (had?) good numbers hitting from the 1 spot since coming back from injury and Brice had great numbers in the 3 hole more so than Brice leading off and Yelich hitting 3rd earlier this year.
What those numbers look like now after the last 7-10 days I am not sure. I think the question is valid.
I have asked about O'Rae a few times and I'm assuming there was no word on why he was out for a week and a half but still pinch ran a handful of times?
I was hoping it would be Sale vs. Miz ... that would have been a showstopper. Nothing against Perez.
Sale hasn't thrown since the 10th. I'm sure it won't affect but that is a long time.
