Absolutely...only have 2 seasons left in this window so have to make them count. Well, it's a two year window if we keep everyone. If you start shipping players off, who knows what the new window looks like
He threw 5 inning, 0 ER in his first start off the IL Doesn’t matter, his stuff is clearly a tick down. Velo is down, location and command is a mess. I'm not saying he's good, but I'm sensitive to SSS after the nightmare that was Edith Cox
huh? Earned runs in starts since beginning of June: 0 0 0 1 3 1 0 4 Where was his injury? After the 3rd zero, right? He’s been sharp in maybe one start since. He's had 1 good and 1 bad start since coming off the IL
It had to be a grounder to second. Have you not been watching? Another horsefeathers loss. He is mister 4-3, sure, but it feels like the entire team loves hitting mile high pop ups on hitters counts
Young players like Russell struggle off the bench. For example, Russell’s career OPS off the bench is .727, compared to his career OPS as a starter of *checks notes* .706
Hey, look, when you've accumulated 588 games of mostly middling professional baseball and you're "only" 25, it's like they don't even count at all! 2138 major league plate appearances is pretty average for a young player like Russell. He’s really barely gotten his feet wet.
