  1. Shaw's gotten some extremely favorable BABIP fortune the last 2 games. Maybe one of the hits was well-struck.
  2. He's right though. It's damn tough to execute a bunt for a hit when the 3B is 70 feet from the plate. Lately he's been squaring up a lot more balls. Hopefully this forces the defense into a regular alignment. Then he can start working that into his arsenal more. A lot of these bunts have been ABs just flushed down the toilet. Combining those with the ABs where he just got overmatched on 3-4 pitches and that's a high rate of uncompetitive ABs.
  3. Witt Jr. now hitting 350/400/600. Dude is a horsefeathers monster.
  4. Shota has to watch those get-me-over fastballs
  5. Too bad Geo couldn't sustain (his high)
  6. Just please don't let Shota get blown up. I ain't askin for much.
  7. I still marvel that he his those 2 against them probably a combined 30 inches below the plate lol
  8. Cubs only need to see a team a 3rd time through
  9. Facing a bad knuckleballer, that explains it
  10. That's the case sometimes. There's been a lot of ****** bats that we hoped we had potential replacements for.
  11. Move them for what? They'll probably sign minor league contracts with some org after the season and maybe become semi-viable MLB players in 2-3 years. Their arrows are pointing way down. Both are barely above league average at their level.
  12. I think he's firmly in the IDK what to expect outta this guy tier and will be looking at 2-3 year deals. You're still talking about a guy that has eclipsed 2 fwar once in the last 5 years, who is getting up there in age and whose tertiary skills are not as prominent as they once were. 2020-2022 + 2024 (Projected ROS) will possibly barely equal what he did in 2023. He is a major, major gamble IMO. The floor is not all that sexy.
  13. But I've seen blurbs that mention Alcantara is gonna slide and I haven't seen that for Jones. Jones is having a miserable season.
  14. How in the world does Spencer Jones get so much cushion compared to Alcantara
  15. So the Rays brass pretty much admits even with a state-of-the-art stadium they'll never be a hot ticket. I'm surprised by only a 30K capacity.
  16. Man you say some of the dumbest horsefeathers
  17. Hit 2 last night as well, albeit one was off of a position player.
  18. Shaw pulled a dong. Hoping he gets some AAA exposure before the end of the year.
  19. Moore extended 4/110/82 Fair deal. Not sure it was necessary yet. He might have been barking behind the scenes, maybe?
  20. I marvel at their ability to pick at the back-end of the 1st-2nd every year and end up with a highly-coveted prospect every single time. it's incredible.
  21. Tigers get Sweeney and Liranzo. They will probably pay Javy to go away in the winter.
  22. Tigers should see if Flaherty's open to an extension
