I am obviously referring to him with a bat in his hands. And yes-he did suck with a bat. No one ever questioned his defense. Do I need to look up his abysmal OPS for last year. Better yet you look it up.

Averaging 15 HRs, about 66 RBI, .257 average, with 50 games left this season. Gold glover. Double figure stolen bases each year. 29 other MLB teams would love to have him.

Tolle needs to get tough. Keep the Sox in the game.

Thanks for proving my point. Up until this year he has sucked. In addition he hadn’t a clue of the strike zone.

.257 BA and a below average OPS works for you? Doesn’t work for me

Rushing should yell at Muncy and the third base coach that Muncy should have ran on that pop up.

In 2026 the major league batting average is .244 for all players. He is above average in all categories and he is the best center fielder in baseball.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That could have been a lot worse.

Don't let the facts get in the way of your narrative, Fred.

He had a below average OPS+ last year and no concept of the strike zone. You don’t win rings with players like that. 

[Tedballgame]

Yep, Cedanne really sucks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Mr Moto is going to be a tough nut to crack.

Is an OPS+ of 96 above average?

Yes or no

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Raffy!

Below average OPS+. What the F is that?

It’s park adjusted OPS.

But you knew that. It’s probably the best single measure of offensive performance imo. 
Rafaela was below average last year and horrible at the end of the year

Fred, you need a proof reader.

Good shut down inning.

Are you denying the fact that Rafaela had an OPS+ of 96 last year? Or that 96 is below average….?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching Tolle pitch so far hasn't been a comfortable situation.

An OPS+ of 100 is average, so, yes, an OPS+ of 96 is below average.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Tolle not fooling many tonight.
