He's younger than league average hitter by 16 months, His .891 OPS in Iowa is better than league average by .056 points and .108 better than the Iowa average since they don't play as many games in the extreme hitters parks of the league. The whole "he's only a boy playing a man's game" shtick doesn't really fly anymore when he's got just shy of 600 games at the major league level.
-
Yeah, the only way he comes up now is if Baez, god forbid, gets hurt. As long as Happ is *checks notes* slashing .300 .391 .650 1.041 playing actual baseball, Russell can go horsefeathers himself.

Perfect, I can wear my Bears SB LIV champions shirt to Miller Park right off the bat Oh, cool. Which 3rd world country are you going to go to to pick one up?
-
Hey, the hair starts thinning up front, you kind of lose your mind for a bit and start thinking you can balance it out by growing it elsewhere. Most people get over it eventually. Others become president. -
The park keeping the Cardinals offense down also helps their pitching hence being 11 games over .500 at home with 210 runs allowed. =
-
And I guess the Cardinals don't count, too, since they're technically a worse offensive team at home, which I can't imagine is the mark of a team you'd dare consider to be worthy of any kind of a winning record.
-
You realize all you're doing is digging yourself into a hole where your argument is, "the Reds can't possibly ever be an actual good team," right? When you have to come up with a laundry list of reasons and ever-moving goal posts to argue in the face of the obvious, just punch out already. The Reds are a decent team, and they should have more wins than they do.
-
Jesus, just admit you were wrong a single time. The Reds aren't that good of a team, just because they won a bunch of blow out games doesn't mean they should be nearly 10 games over .500. So I'm sure you think any blowout losses also are not similarly reflective of how good or bad they are. The Reds have a better offense than the Cardinals; to just dismiss the idea they could be a mere 2 wins better than the latter is just being stubborn.
-
The Reds' pythag record is 62-53 vs. their actual record of 56-69. They are a decidedly better team than their record indicates. The Reds winning in a bunch of blowouts doesn't make then a better overall team. Jesus, just admit you were wrong a single time.

Now THAT'S an impressive meltdown.

Pirates escape the 6th with no damage.
-
Rangers manage to hang on and beat the Brewers 1-0. Pirates up 8-4 in the bottom of the 6th, but Cardinals threatening with 1st and 2nd with only 1 out.
-
That Pirates/Cardinals game looks like it must be wild.
-
Classic "the save is actually in the 8th inning" coming up.
-
You don't wear pants under the hockey shorts. The bottom of your legs are covered by extra long socks that go over your shin pads and are held up with tape. I'll leave it up to you to decide if that's better or worse. So, what you're saying is...
-
Also not gonna lie: "sandbox" is a pretty great auto-correct for "bandbox."
-
Its not meant to be a burn its just a fact, unlike you I want everyone on our roster to do good. With that said 2 HR over 48 games for your #3/4 hitter in the year of the HR isn't very good.
-
He wants to get on base with only 2 HR in just under 2 months. This is not the burn you think it is.

Holy thread title was WAY off on the game time, Batman.

cl smooth, welcome to the suck. -
They are grasping at straws See, you're this close to self-aware. Do you think it would make sense to just move the better hitters up in the lineup so you always have the best 3 guys going 1-2-3? Or do you think their lack of a "real leadoff hitter" is a problem?
-
I mean, they made the call to move Heyward to the leadoff spot, which is something you seem to think is tantamount to a baseball war crime.
