I have not, although I was cool with bringing him back this year after his performance late last year. He really can't keep up his current pace but he's a useful guy to have on the roster. -
And after a rough first inning Mis is now through 3 with 42 pitches. Pretty efficient since the 1st.
-
At this point it's inertia. He needs to go down at some point and figure some things out.
-
Bauers wasn't going to miss the RBI chance twice.
-
Good at bat from Mitchell again.
-
I'll take that. I ain't proud.
-
Yeli isn't picking up that knuckle curve at all and he's missing the 4 seamers he can hit.
-
PCA had no chance in that at bat.
-
Net did it to Corey Hart once.
-
In his sleep.
-
oh boy
-
105.7 mph off the bat
-
Wouldn't have bet on Mitchell succeeding where Yelich and Bauers failed, but it beats a goose egg.

They might eventually, but his BABIP is .50 points below his career average while his average exit velocity is right on what he's done his whole career. And his 3B defense isn't bad. I'm guessing the front office is still betting on some positive regression on his BABIP. It's close to inevitable. The question is how long can you wait for the inevitable. Right now, .5 games out, and with Hamilton sitting on an option, I'd be a little surprised if Renfigo got DFAd before Hamilton went down. Neither is likely to happen before June I don't think.
-
With Ortiz bat being at least replacement level the last few games that's fine. But it probably doesn't make any sense to keep Hamilton up if Williams can play 3rd and SS, which he can. I tend to agree though that they'll wait, even though Super 2 status might not mean anything in 18 months.
-
I should have read on before I replied to an earlier comment. CHL said it better and shorter. 😂
-
Hamilton has an option left so he can be sent down if they decide to give Williams or Pratt a shot. Rengifo is tougher because he's out of options and they'd have to DFA him. I know a lot of folks think that's no great loss and I get it but I just don't think they're ready to give up on him yet given his 2026 BABIP is .50 below his career average even though his average exit velocity is right on par with what he's done historically. He can't make bonehead outs on the bases when the play is right in front of him (which he did last night), but he plays 3B pretty well and the underlying numbers suggest he's still due for some positive regression (which a week ago looked like it was well underway). If it were up to me I'd option Hamilton to AAA and bring up Williams while leaving Pratt to hit every day at AAA, and I'd probably give Rengifo a few more weeks at a minimum.

So you're saying we're due against Brown. Got it.😂

I completely agree. And to be fair, the commenter who started that conversation noted the hype that surrounded him, which was major. I watched him at High A when he was 18 and the whole stadium, including the people in line for food, would stop when he came up to the plate. Regardless of that context I think there's a percentage of the fanbase who expect players to show up in MLB as finished products or for them to become finished products in those first 2 years and for Chourio that meant people expected him to be an MVP level player at age 22 (he was literally held to an Acuna standard in that conversation; Acuna himself won his MVP at age 25.) In reality he's put up between 6.5 and 7.4 WAR (baseball ref/Fangraphs) in 291 games. I just don't see a way to be anything other than encouraged by that. And as an aside, his at bats last night were fantastic. He was a free swinger during a mini-slump that ended a few days ago, but last night he put a couple of gems on Imanaga and saw 7 and 6 pitches in at bats where Imanaga was relying on him to chase out of the zone, netting a pair of singles, and RBI and a stolen base. No they weren't 3 run homers (although he just missed one of those in his lead off at bat) but they were professional at bats of the sort that lineup needed. At the age of 22. Super excited about his first two weeks back from injury. He looks like a better player than the one we saw last year.

Got to watch all of that one!
-
I kept waiting for someone to take him all the way to 8 seconds on the pitch clock before looking up to try to slow him down, but no one ever did. He was throwing with almost 10 seconds left.
-
I can't quite pick it up on the replay. It's very close if it didn't hit his own name. Regardless, Bauers absolutely has The Natural vibes going on right now. He's hitting everything hard, getting some weird outs (like that fly out that from exit velocity and launch angle should have gone 400+ feet and didn't even get close to the warning track against the Twins), so nailing his name on a scoreboard seems on brand right now.
-
Absolutely love the fact that in PCA's previous at bat the slider got him to two strikes, he refused to chase and then flew out on a fastball (causing PCA to very dramatically react in a way that let everyone know he missed a pitch he thought was hittable), and then Drohan basically said "bet you can't do that again" and destroyed him with three consecutive sliders PCA couldn't identify or lay off of.
