Heh

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Thanks for being stupid Russell.

[profisme]

That was a Theriot-level baserunning error

[Tryptamine]

That's a completely inexcusable mistake.

[OleMissCub]

Here comes a triple that only scores two

[OleMissCub]

Wait nvm Miggy is up. Bases clearing double forthcoming

[Sammy Sofa]

Welp, hope you enjoyed it while it lasted, Russell, because basically the meatballs and the local press are going to be baying for your blood every time you screw up from here on out. Poor kid.

he'll be fine he's not spanish

[profisme]

There's no way the Cards would even give up Pete Kozma for him now because he doesn't play the game the right way

Some writer will say Castro should've been running harder to home, allowing Russell to go to 3rd.

[Schwarber Fan]

Dumb game all around, let's pretend it never happened.

we have montero for more than this year, so you're allowed to like our catcher playing at a 3+ win pace with well above average framing skills

This. He was too busy thinking about his 900th hit to keep his head in the game.

[Andy]

That one gets a pretty high fake rally score for not getting one across the plate.

 

[expletive] stupid loss

After that hot start he's been pretty terrible for a while now. He was decidedly unremarkable (or worse) the last two seasons. I hope he gets pushed to being the backup by someone better.

His high mark for OPS on the year was like 2 weeks ago.

I was that close to making a joke about underage drinking...

Hooray for stats inflated by his freak first month: he's hit .200 .360 .333 .693 over the last 28 days going in to tonight, and it's only gotten worse from there.

[Sammy Sofa]

I mean, why is it so crazy to think he's just a tolerable catcher at best? His last two seasons sure indicate that's about all we can hope for. What about the first 5 weeks or so of this season would have anyone thinking he's actually turned it around and is going to have one of the best seasons of his career? He's ideally not THIS bad, but why would it be unlikely that he's a guy who ends up just OPSing around .675 the rest of the way at best? Edited June 3, 2015 by Sammy Sofa

April 5-18: .754 OPS

April 19 - May 1: .878 OPS

May 2-17: 1.073

May 18 - yesterday: .512 OPS

 

Sure looks like you're confusing a slump with some inevitable descent to terrible.

[Guest]

you do realize a .693 OPS with a .360 OBP is far from awful right?

 

also if his high water mark was 2 weeks ago how could that be "inflated" by his hot first month?
