what's crazier is that after his first year in cincy at 5.4, griffey's highest WAR total in cincy was 2.7

[Guest]

So hittable. Young Jaxon.

Ya I don't see Jaxon in him. I see much more downward movement and an actual major league change-up.

 

i forgot where i heard it but i think the change is a pitch bosio has been working on with him

[Sammy Sofa]

His swing is so purty.

i'm a baseball moron when it comes to some rules but i thought the reason for the infield fly rule was so that guys couldn't do stuff like what len was talking about

[sneakypower]

Soler's swing looks like Hulk-y Torii Hunter

I knew that swing looked familiar. good call.

No infield fly rule active with only one man on base.

2014 Cubs are the first team in history to have two players, each age 22 or younger, HR in their 1st MLB games (Baez/Soler)

Only with 1st and 2nd or bases losded. It doesn't matter in that situation since the only way Cincy could have recorded multiple outs there was if Soler didn't run. In the other two situations, the runners aren't going to move since they'll get doubled up if they do. The rule doesn't protect from the batter choosing to not run.

makes sense

[Schwarber Fan]

Turner is the white Edwin Jackson.

The infield fly protects with multiple runners on because they cannot run, the rule does not protect from a batter being dumb.

[Sammy Sofa]

Turner is the white Edwin Jackson.

 

Way to read the thread.

 

Or are you just going to lazily compare every not ideal pitching outing to Jackson?

Somewhere I have a bobble head and a fotoball of Tiny Face Latos from his days with the San Antonio Missions. I should find them and turn them into some sort of baseball voodoo dolls.

like either of those were easy plays lol

[bukie]

Welp, people are starting to care enough about the Cubs to overreact stupidly in game threads again. They've made it.

Yeah well, this is totally making it take too long to get our young stud hitters back up to bat. RAWR!

[Agony and Ivy]

His line got a little ugly but I liked what I saw from Turner in terms of stuff. Velo was excellent and his change-up definitely flashed a little.
