Reds have had some insane pitching luck. Like they face the Dodgers this weekend and got to face 3 rookies. Over the last 40 games they have pretty much just faced the bottom of team's rotations outside of facing us and the Giants
Edit: This isn't to say the reds offense isn't good because they are. They have just had quite a stretch of fortunate pitching matchups.
And it really doesn't matter their relationship to the Kernels in the standing because the Kernels won the 1st half. As long as Wisconsin remains in 2nd place behind the Kernels, they will be the 2nd half representative for their division in the playoffs.
There is no such thing as a 50/50 ball-strike call. The strike zone is defined in the rulebook. It isn't an opinion thing that can go one way or another. It's either a ball or a strike. That was 100% a strike.
@82brewcrew82 you can cry and give me the thumbs down all you want, but that doesn't make you any more correct.
Here's the Baseball Savant/Statcast zone showing a clear strike.
Then here's the gameday zone showing a clear strike.
Jimenez is a good player that doesn’t mean he has huge trade value as a DH only with extensive injury history on a somewhat expensive contract.
Devin Williams is way better/more valuable than Eloy. That’s such a horrible comparison.
We did not give up more for a half season of Santana. That’s a bold faced lie.
You’re totally ignoring Eloy’s extensive injury history. He’s a DH only now who has peaked at 500 PA in a season and is set to make $48M over the next 3 seasons which is a fair contract but nothing special that would make him extremely valuable in a trade.
Toro's defense is not good. They are going to prioritize Turang's defense especially when Houser, Teheran, and Rea are on the mound as those 3 are contact oriented pitchers.
Yeah Cubs are really hot right now. Kind of hoping this ends up with them buying but then still fading down the stretch getting nothing for the rentals.
Darrell Thompson has had a rough go of it lately. Someone posted an article on him recently from his hometown newspaper I believe and he said he expected to make his MLB debut this season and was expecting it to happen at the end of this month. Since that article was written he has given up 9 runs in 6.1 IP...don't think you're getting that call Darrell
Cousins velo is down a disturbing amount. His FB since he came off the IL is sitting at 92-93 and him being bad feels very much because of that poor velo. I feel like he's a potential DFA candidate this season.
