So a walk, hard hit single, K, ball that probably could have been a double and hard hit ball caught with a slide at the wall. Great start...only 1 walk!
This seems kind of strange. Maybe I’ve been out of the loop but I don’t remember anyone making fun of him for going on the DL with the flu or for going on the DL 2 times in general. And despite some groaning about his iffy start I haven’t felt like there has been an abundance of hate for Yu at alll.
His BABIP has always trended high. Not .379 but it was .338 last year. If there's some regression that is fine as long as he is contributing on both sides of the plate and continuing to play defense at a high rate.
that's horsefeathering disgusting For the worst possible reason, too. I bought into the scrappy white guy mystique of Stockton. I....didn't know that was a thing
Wonder how they felt about this in 2015 http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/2015/05/28/mlbtv_arisln_134761683_1800K.mp4 It was legal Admittedly I'm cherry picking, several didn't like the slide or questioned if it was dirty. Also going through their game thread and finding them wondering why Heyward is struggling at the plate and how he's so likable so they hope he gets going is interesting.
