Man, Bumgarner's going to get a big contract in the next couple years.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Wood: .261/.306/.500 8 R 3 HR 10 RBI .354 wOBA 124 wRC+

Bumgarner: .269/.304/.481 9 R 3 HR 12 RBI .341 wOBA 123 wRC+

 

Seems like a pretty even match-up.

He's signed through 2017 with a couple of $12M team options after that. So he's basically signed through 2019.

Daaaamn, Giants made out like bandits on that one.

Even if he blows his arm out tomorrow and never pitches again, the Giants will have paid $36M for 15 WAR.

lol just saw brett on tv

[Sammy Sofa]

Where is he? I'll go introduce myself and we'll have a real meeting of the minds.

[UMFan83]

Jaxon B to go on DL soon?

[sweetpeteman]

Wood should join Jason on the DL

[Cubswin11]

Let us know if he's a shorts or pants guy and what type (cargo, jean, slacks, etc.)

[CincyCubsFan]

First inning runs for Wood? I'm shocked.

Ha I was just gonna make some sort of pants joke because he just tweeted a pic of him and a bunch of dudes abd he's the only one not wearing shorts.

Mojo might have a new best friend by nights end

Javy takes a terrible swing at the 2nd pitch of the AB. Every single time.

OMG, I GOTTA NEW BFF.

[UMFan83]

I'm convinced that a segment of meatball Cubs fans is never going to like Baez no matter how good he is because he's always going to have terrible swings on occasion and is always going to strike out a ton.

[UMFan83]

Is a 41% K rate bad?

[Clem Fandango]

Is a 41% K rate bad?

 

Probably so, but his 13.8 AB/HR ratio is #1 in the majors among all qualified and unqualified 2B! Unless you count the guys who have no home runs, then they're all tied for first.

[UMFan83]

Ugh he was out but Ricky used his challenge

[TruffleShuffle]

I just need to keep reminding myself that Baez does this every time he reaches a new level.

[UMFan83]

Baez with 4 K and a walk in 5 PAs today. Really embracing that 3TO lifestyle. Expect a HR in his next AB

[UMFan83]

It's difficult to watch and not be down on the kid. It was a lot easier staying level headed when you read about his bad starts in the minor league forum
