  1. Depending on if you prefer UZR or DRS, Addison Russell is on pace for somewhere around 4.5-5.5 WAR.
  2. Nice win. Jon looked good. The pen looked good. Didn't really hit the ball too hard, but we took a lot of great PAs.
  3. I still think Happ needs to be in Iowa to work on things, but I guess if he continues be an above-average player despite his 56% Contact%, then what are you supposed to do?
  4. Time for the Cardinals' horrible bullpen to blow a game.
  5. Just so I'm on record somewhere with it: All of the players we've traded away that everyone has been freaking out about... they all suck. Jorge is living off of a .400 BABIP. He's a bad base runner and a horrible defender. His BB/K rate is a little out of whack. He's not seeing many pitches at all in the zone, despite not actually being that imposing. His Contact% is still 67%. Straighten out those things and his BABIP and let his defensive metrics take hold, and he's back to being a below-average player. Gleyber is rocking a 6.4% BB% and 24.1% K%. He's also living off a .400 BABIP. His plate discipline numbers look kinda gross. He swings at too much junk and doesn't make enough contact. And he doesn't have enough power to make up for it. He's just an average-ish to slightly above-average regular. Christian Villanueva has already went back to sucking, like the rest of them soon will. Eloy is Jorge 2.0. Jeimer Candelario's numbers actually look pretty legit. He's not living off a ridiculous BABIP and his plate discipline numbers look solid. But I don't think he's a .224 ISO guy, either. He doesn't hit the ball that hard. (None of these guys are putting up huge exit velocity numbers.) He's probably just an average-ish player, too.
  6. The Dodgers got us beat again. They didn't even have to play the bottom of the 9th tonight.
