  1. Keith Law also had Weigel as his #12 prospect for the Braves.
  2. It stops Counsell from playing Arcia and Urias together, so that's a plus.
  3. This is who Hiura was going back to the minors in 2019, I mean not this bad but very few hitters can have as high of a strikeout rate as Hiura and give an acceptable level of offense and those that do are patient (like Sano and Gallo) so even if they're hitting .220 or .230 their OBPs are in the .330-.350 range. Anyways, Hiura's strikeout rate jumped to 26% in AAA from 18% in AA then to nearly 31% in MLB in 2019 but I guess nobody wanted to hear about it because he hit .300 to 34.5% last year. There were warning signs about his bat going back to AAA. As far as Yelich, I wonder if there's some sort of mental block with his knee. I would imagine smashing a foul ball off your knee is really painful and I wouldn't want to do that again so maybe there's some swing change or hesitancy or something that's causing all the swings and misses.
  4. What exactly is Hiura's track record? Hit low minor league pitching as a college draftee, get bumped up to AAA and have your strikeout rate soar above 26%, get to the majors and strike out 30% of the time but have it masked by a .400 BABIP and then keep the 30% strikeout rate but inevitably have the BABIP drop to a more reasonable level cratering your offense. The rookie year was the fluke, this is who he is, pitchers have adjusted and he's going to need to adjust to their adjustment to be something more than a replacement level bat.
  5. Hiura fouled off a pitch right down the middle. Just give him the Silver Slugger now.
  6. Bill: You can't hit a ball any harder than that. *Not even the hardest hit ball in this game.
  7. If that was Narvaez we would have 10 posts about it by now.
  8. That was an impressively bad throw by Hiura because anything even in the general vicinity would've still been an out.
  9. Love the side shot. Mask down on chin, mask down on chin, no mask at all.
  10. Guy with the username Gorman complaining about strikeouts. Why yes, I do see the ironing.
  11. I grew up watching guys that looked like Vogelbach hit softballs into the Bark River. Now would be a good time for him to hit one into the Menomonee River.
  12. There has to be more than two. Scott Erikson and Verlander alone come to mind immediately. Four total. Mills last year, the two you mentioned and Steve Busby in 1974.
  13. Feeling confident that Hiura won't strike out looking here. He'll swing through some hittable stuff, but he won't get caught looking.
