Apparently making above 70% contact, though I'm still not sure where to find those numbers.

Nice to see that if you take away his one game in April, Javy has a 22.7 K%

I'm still new to the contact % business. What is generally considered bad/average/good for that?

League average is a tick below 80. It generally runs from 70 to 90, although occasionally guys exist just a bit outside that range for awhile.

If we fix Javy too this is the greatest player development machine of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Not even lunch time, and McKinney already has a pair of walks. I like this kid.

Anyone know why Schwarber was pulled today?

Best guess is rest. It's his 3rd game in 2 days(although only 2nd behind the plate), it was already 7-0, and the temp was in the mid 90s with heat index in triple figures.

If recent history is to be followed, it means it's time for a new thread in the Transactions forum.

Whoa, Null had a bad game.

Looks like Javy will finish the night 1-4 with 1 K and his 6th SB
