:flythew: #HatsToTheLeft I liked how Pedro was manipulating velo on the slider today. Think he was between 80 and 89 on it. FB velo seems a tick down though, a few 94s but a lot of 92-93. He can probably get by throwing 94 if it’s located. 92-93 is a little concerning.
We need a bat so badly. Even just a guy who has good platoon splits, it doesn’t need to be a star and I don’t care if it’s good splits vs LHP or RHP. I don’t think we should be using the big prospect capital we have to add right now but there’s enough guys in the Giambrone type level of prospects to find and get a platoon type bat.
yet is somehow the 2nd or 3rd fastest guy on the team. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sprint_speed_leaderboard?year=2019&position=&team=CHC&min=10 His in-game speed sure as hell seems slow though These numbers are lies
They aren’t They're under .500, but have a +51 run diff and a 3.54 team ERA. They aren't bad I know there’s a time every year we have to act like they’re a legit threat. But no, they aren’t good.
The Reds truthing never gets old, they do this every year. I like how we have to act like they exist. Yeah but this year they are actually good They aren’t
wait, what the hell am i looking at here? They did a primary thing for positions. So like top 3 vote getters at every position got cut down to a final vote and the winners start. Since there’s 3 OF spots there’s 9 guys. Time to vote Acuna, Bellinger Almora as the starting OF for the NL and horsefeathers Yelich. Because it would be hilarious to have Almora beat Yelich out. Hopefully every other of our meaningful guys get voted out at other positions and get the ASG as rest.
He shouldn’t be rushed in theory, but if they aren’t going to try things out with Barnette, Maples, Mekkes, etc in the meantime and keep the status quo with the Brach’s of the world then yes he should be rushed
