home run baez.

 

Three more to go.

 

for what? he's on 35 home runs (17 for daytona, 18 for tennessee).

 

the smokies have 5 regular season games left and you'd expect baez to sit out at least one since they've qualified for the playoffs. would be cool if he could make it to 40 when you take into account playoffs.

 

To overtake George Springer for the minor league lead, I'd imagine.

 

Also, George Springer looks like he's what Brett Jackson could've been if he didn't regress

 

Don't forget Jackson killed the ball in his first AAA stint too: .297/.388/.551 in 215 PA. Not quite Springer's power, but the K rate concerns are similar. Jackson was a year younger too.

For what it is worth, Rosario was regularly at 93 or 94 tonight. But he still needs an acceptable breaking pitch.

David, I haven't looked around PSD much recently,what did someone post that has you iffy on Javy?

 

His contact rate at AA (swing and miss divided by swing and miss/foul ball/BIP/HR) is just a touch about 65%. That's awfully low, and 65% in the majors is about as low as you can possibly be and still be remotely useful. It's Reynolds/Stanton territory.

 

So you're saying that he could be as useless as Giancarlo Stanton? As a SS or 3B? Whatever would we do.

 

I just hope that they let him grow out of it on his own rather than toy with his approach as they did with Starlin.

That makes me so sad.

The whole time, I was hoping for a replay showing more of the flight of the ball. It never happened. :(

The video production guy in me is angry at this... they really need to hire a new production manager. Whoever is responsible selecting those camera angles is the worst at everything. And don't soft dissolve between angles. And don't cut 1/2 a second before the pitch crosses the plate to the center field camera you [expletive]. Ugh.

 

But that home run was awesome

YES.

 

When I was in college I was the jumbo tron operator for our basketball team. Someone before me had made this video that combined the stock animation of a basketball going into a hoop, followed by an absolutely horrendous MS Paint drawing of a butter tray and a stick of butter on it with the word "BUTTER" in Times New Roman underneath it on a white background. I threw that [expletive] up there every 3 baskets.
