this at bat will decide whether or not Jason Heyward's OPS stays above or below .700 It is that momentous (lol)
-
Bryant is 9 for 11 with 3 walks in this series holy moly

Why does it look like his brain is trying desperately to escape from his skull?

Hahaha, Schwarber is now OPSing .747 with a .195 batting average. He's trying to do all he can to be a valuable hitter while being under the Mendoza line. However a .747 OPS is only a 92 OPS+ this year, which shows you just how much the juiced ball has affected the run environment. Just 3-4 years ago, a 100 OPS+ was about .700. And 5-6 years before that a 100 OPS+ was damn near .800. The baseball run environment has changed violently over the past 10 years.

Please don't immediately give it back

I think one of the reasons the first half was rough, other than the starting pitching, was that almost none of the young players got better, which we reasonably could have expected at least some of them would. They all either tread water or had a little slippage in production (or a nearly lost season for Schwarber, who has turned it around in a large way since the break).
-
There's basically no way a .900+ OPS season can be a disappointment so I'm not really sure what you're expecting. I expect Bryant to get better and better, but players performance doesn't fit a nice curve up and down with their peak and decline. And he's really really good and nearly putting up the same numbers as last year except with apparently a decline in his defense right now so I'm not getting it.

[muses to himself, bored at work] huh, i wonder if the game got started yet [checks score] oh
-
Baseball is good

I wonder if a trade like this is a signal towards approaching the playoffs with every starter on a very short leash and letting a super powerful good bullpen handle roughly half or a majority of each game. A lot of teams were starting to move in that direction over the past couple years, and the Indians wanted to leverage their two best relievers that way last year (and, uh, lost) but maybe thats the plan as far as any sort of "magic sauce" (that I agree doesn't exist, there's just way too much variance for anything to make a huge dent in a handful of games) in the playoffs.

i mean how can you not know who he is? he came in the big bonifacio/russell deadline deal of 2014 he's not real
