    Rodriguez is having a mini slump since his four hit, two home run game in July, with just one hit across his last four outings. Hopefully just a small thing, with four K's in 16 plate appearances too Would be great to see a hot run and that hard quality contact before the DSL season wraps up
  2. Jake McKibbin
    They've also sold more than enough talent, its' a great time to face them with Cron, Grichuk and Brad Hand out, while facing some limited starters. It's time to make hay

    Please let tonight be fun...

    Have you noticed him getting closer to the batters box the last few weeks? An absurd increase in the number of HBP's he's had
  5. Jake McKibbin
    It's what we'd all love to see! If he gets close to 25 home runs this season they'll be in a great spot, if it's 20 ISH not so much!
  6. Jake McKibbin
    I actually thought he had some good AB's tonight.. nearly walked off, a rocket liner to left field for an out and a single. It's just not quite falling for him, but he'll get there (I hope 😅)

    The call by the guardians commentator is legendary "They're fighting, they're swinging, DOWN GOES ANDERSON" "Anderson squared off, José decked Im"

    I hate myself for saying anything. If they come back it's definitely on me 😂

    Henderson is absolutely mowing them down. One hit through green innings, five strikeouts (four swinging) Going from one strength to the next To add to this, it's taken just 34 pitches

    Wiemer has been excellent against lefties this season, he's slugged big time and has also looked more playable at the plate of late I'm slightly surprised Turang is in there but he's looked so smooth, excited to see if he can keep it going Burnes for a shutout anyone?
  11. Jake McKibbin
    It's just with a lefty effort, and tbf Tyrone Taylor has looked more like himself with a couple of Homers I think against lefties in his last two games, plus brings better defense and a chance to let Yelich rest
  12. Jake McKibbin
    I do find it interesting how hard the reds are pushing Andre Abbott with pitch counts etc, especially in lost causes, he's soaring last his previous innings high
  13. Jake McKibbin
    There might be something of very slightly notable consequence that may happen in the Reds game that shouldn't be mentioned
  14. Jake McKibbin
    Oh sorry may have come across wrong! I was thinking more in general recently that Eric Lauer has looked really good over multiple appearances not just this one, didn't mean to impinge the write up at all, really love reading these!
  15. Jake McKibbin
    Also the disappointment when you go check in on ACL team and there's no bitonti, Pratt or boeve. Thankfully o'rae has signed and stolen a base as per
  16. Jake McKibbin
    16 walks for brewers dos.. Incredible numbers, with just two hits
  17. Jake McKibbin
    Also it's quite incredible to see Matt Olson with 92 RBIs a week into August. What on earth
  18. Jake McKibbin
    Braves have hit two homers so far, difference is against the brewers they made sure to get a couple of guys on before they went big 😂
  19. Jake McKibbin
    It's based around his stats in July, I think they do show he was unlucky over the course of the month I saw a lot of strange hard hit outs that just weren't finding grass which lead me to investigate the month as a whole when I found the background stats. I'm not saying he's going to have a .900 OPS to finish the season, but I also don't think he's a .600 OPS guy and deserved considerably better than the results he got last month Did the background numbers surprise you?
  20. Jake McKibbin
    Swing and miss is swing and miss though, they seem to be giving him multi innings in relief to build him up again, wouldn't surprise me if he was starting at AAA by September
  21. Jake McKibbin
    There have been some brighter spots too where we've seen lots of line drive outs as well To play devil's advocate on myself, the one really worrying stat is the cratering hard hit rate compared to 2021 and 2022. I'm okay with him having a javy Baez style approach, as long as he mashes every now and then. He's always been streaky and mercurial, and I think it's hard to say he hasn't had misfortune with his expected stats to this point. He has been piss poor the last four to five games mind, so maybe my timing is slightly off with this article, but interestingly he's averaging 95mph + exit velocities in the very SSS so far in August Anyway I digress, I think there's signs he could go on a run for a few weeks, or he could continue to mire in a slump, but certainly wouldn't be surprised either way. He's a little lost at the plate but a little confidence boost and Boom
  22. Jake McKibbin
    Ismael Yanez with 3 hits, one earned run and eight strikeouts in four innings for dsl brewers dos
  23. Jake McKibbin
    He did find his straps pre AS break absolutely, but he has always been up and down. I think his expected stats do tell a story however and he's clearly been unlucky, especially in July
  24. Jake McKibbin
    Not to go unnoticed is Eric Lauer who has looked notably better upon his return with some big swing and miss stuff again. He may have fixed things, meaning he's a sixth starter sitting in Nashville
  25. Jake McKibbin
    Yeah he's looked a little more iffy the last 25 plate appearances or so, but he's never going to be consistent, he's a streaky hitter at his best. I think early in the season he was very vocal about his walk rate, and that led to him being too passive on pitches in the zone, since he's become more aggressive again he's fallen on some hard luck but I've a feeling we'll get a two week stretch of hot hitting from him, maybe more. A couple of good homers will probably take the stress off his shoulders somewhat too, but he's definitely been better as of late and in hoping for his sake that he can burst out Absolutely. Adames and Tellez getting hot makes this offense top 10 instantly. Adames and Tellez cold make it bottom 10 This is all going to come down to a hot stretch and who makes the most of it now and in September
