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.
-
Meanwhile Bello is pitching a gem
-
And Rafaela has had a great …..month. JBJ was even worse with a bat despite his “moments”
-
How’d you like him when he proved he couldn’t hit the baseball? Very similar to Rafaela. He had a brief moment in the sun just like Cedanne. Then he sucked offensively though he was obviously great in CF.
-
I can’t believe the WS waived him
-
Even Moon gave up on him. He’s had a great month. But his lack of K zone control will be his downfall. He’s a newer version of JBJ.
-
His career OPS+ is 94-below average. And he hasn’t a clue where the strike zone is. He’s going to revert to baseline eventually. Let’s see where he is in September. Meanwhile enjoy this flash in the pan.
-
He’s a very good defensive player He’s a below average hitter for his career. That said it would please me to no end to be wrong about him for the good of the team. But I don’t think that will happen.
-
Rafaela smokes another mistake
-
Too many Flops hitters are taking K zone lessons from Rafaela
-
Facing Ref is a mistake here
-
Not just that but unless Mayer gets ABs against ML LHPs he’s never going to get good at it.
-
He shouldn’t be playing
-
Another error…YAWWWWWN
-
Rafaela swings at a ball that almost hit him then takes strike 3 on a ball right down the middle.
-
He didn’t want to be that close to the Red Sox dugout. Thats what Clark said anyway. Apparently
-
Like most MLB hitters when they are served a meatball right down the middle even Rafaela can hit it. But unlike most hitters he has absolutely no idea about the K zone. Watching him swing at balls a foot outside is getting old. Its going to cause him to drift down to his level as a hitter, which has been BELOW AVERAGE for his career. By the end of the year he'll get there.
-
No, but he's missing almost everything else.
-
I recognize a bum with a bat in his hands far better than you do, obviously. Enjoy this little flash in the pan by your hero. Once pitchers realize they never need to throw him a strike he’ll be back to his old incompetent self with an OPS+ closer to his career number which is 92.-below average.
-
He still has zero plate discipline. That’s why he’ll find his natural level: striking out a lot on balls a foot off the plate.
-
Why anyone throws Rafaela a strike is beyond me. He’s pretty good at hitting balls thrown down the middle, like nearly all MLB hitters.

Still eating my posts. They’re not THAT bad
