javy straying 5 feet past the bag to backhand the foul ball. no big deal

[UMFan83]

I don't care if his FIP is like 5, I love having 4 starters with an ERA under 3 and a slack jawed yokel to round things out.

Maybe we should start stuffing potato chips down Heyward's mouth.

that hendricks article about ready?

Yes. I was working on it this evening until the game started. I'll probably be up late tonight finishing it. It'll be fun for people who like Kyle Hendricks.

Nevermind, getaway day for the ump in general

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Every time Addy gets his average near or at .250, it always seems to go down 10 or 15 points. Not that it matters much.

There was like a week or so where Heyward was hitting he ball in the air. Now it's back to pounding it in the ground

[weis21]

heyward tried his best to 4-3 it but baseball happened

[Brian]

[Brian]

Javy has to dong here

[Ding Dong Johnson]

many thanks, other umpire guy

[Tryptamine]

So Heyward's now putting up a .628OPS on the year and he's trending down. Is there any performance point where Heyward isn't a starter in the playoffs?

Probably not because of his defense. Maybe against Bumgarner or Kershaw even then I'd say still play him e

I think he might be done starting vs lefties in NL parks. Against righties though I assume his defense will keep him in the lineup since Soler and Baez can get exposed vs those pitchers.

Short of schwarbs coming back, which isn't happening, the only scenario I'd really agree with it would be Lester against a lefty pitcher, where Ross would be starting, you'd want contreras in left, and then you'd want Baez in the lineup at third. Otherwise I don't really see it.

It's time to engage back-up mini Super Bullpen right
