Tough break Doesn’t look too serious though
-
Nah i saw this game yesterday
-
Tied I believe
-
Already behind. Another couple of runs and it’s pretty much over
-
You think they should keep Booler in the rotation? If not what should they do with him? The flops are actually pretty deep with SPers. The don’t need Booler.
-
And he swings and misses at many more. Thats the problem.Do you expect him to keep this up? Wouldn’t that make us so much better. Or is he likely to regress to his career OPS of 94. I’ve been critical of Rafaela but I think I’m just going to enjoy his moment in the sun-until it passes
-
Nope. It was outside and he went out and got it. Even a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut.
-
I think he will settle down to where he belongs. I’d love for him to prove me wrong.
-
What’s .225/.706? Rafael Devers stats in SF. Don’t need him. nice win
-
Not until I declare the game over or when the FLOPS start playing little league baseball.
-
By the end of it the FLOPS will be clearly out of the postseason race. BOOOLER just coughed up a 2R HR. Game almost over. Boooler needs to pack his bags
-
At least Story can play acceptable defense even if he’s choking at the plate
-
Story’s had a productive night so far….🙄
-
He gave me the EVIL EYE during a game once.
-
Little league ball by the Rockies…outta here Not
-
Hopefully we can get a bag of golf balls for him 🙄
-
Not even close. Vlad would hit balls nearly in the dirt with authority. Rafaela hits meatballs only but swings and misses at balls outside the zone.
-
Bingo! Very few batters have had success chasing like Rafaela does. Vlad senior comes to mind. It didn’t matter where the pitch was he could hit it hard it seemed. That kind of chase rate is a recipe for failure.
-
We are talking about two players here. I assume you are referring to Rafaela. If we are trying to build a team that competes for a ring most years I want a CFer who not only plays good (not necessarily excellent) defense but who can also hit the baseball with authority. Now for the last month Rafaela has been doing that. But his lack of plate discipline imo is going to be the limiting factor to his contribution to the offense. Like all fans of the team I hope he’s the exception and can hit balls out of the strike zone but players like that are rare.
-
Bradley had a career OPS of 82. Thats the bottom line. Now you can cherry pick the good years if I can cherry pick the bad ones. But the thing is this: they ALL count in his career. And overall, at the end of the day, he was pretty awful with a bat in his hands.
-
JBJs OPS+ was 82 for his career. That sucks and its why we got rid of him. Like Rafaela he was a below average hitter who was great defensively. I admit I could be wrong about Rafaela. He might surprise me (pleasantly), but from what I see of him he STILL has no discipline at the plate. Sure, he can hit mistakes. Most ML hitters can. But few can hit GOOD pitches well and if he keeps swinging at pitches that are a foot off the plate he will eventually sink to his expected level.
-
They all count, unfortunately.
-
Now be fair Max! I also wrote earlier that Bello was tossing a gem. Just because I think Rafaela will return to his natural level doesn’t mean the entire tea sucks. Only certain players suck. Toro, Gonzalez, and Narvaez were excellent finds…. I think
-
Wong should start warming up. Maybe he can pitch
-
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Let’s see where he is in September.
