  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. There’s no crow. He did suck Now he doesn’t Things change
  4. Cherry picking. He has not “steadily improved “. He sucked at the end of last year and suddenly found his stride when this season started. I proved this but because it doesn’t fit your faulty narrative you ignored it. Regardless-he has certainly become a contributor this year, a fact I’m not shy to point out since I provide this forum with a fair and balanced analysis of a player’s performance.
  5. He was awful either way a bat in his hands last year. This it’s obviously a different story. I am glad for him and for the team. Hopefully it will continue.
  6. Yamamoto is about half a run in ERA better than Tolle this year. He is tough. Of the three games this is going to be the most difficult, especially without Contreras out there.
  7. Rafaela consistently SUCKED at the end of last year. From Aug 1 to the end of the year his OPS was .622. That is a long time period. There was no gradual improvement except in your mind. This year he is up to .781, and it started ABRUPTLY at the beginning of this year. For the first two months he improved his OPS by nearly 100 points. Therefore, I will continue to point out his contributions, as I do with every Flops player, when appropriate and criticize him and anyone else when they screw up. Balanced and fair. But by all means, keep whining! You seem to enjoy it so much. I would not want to deprive you of your joy.
  8. I think its important for you to keep whining. I doubt I will see an abrupt improvement in that any time soon. Meanwhile I will keep doing what I think is right, that is, being impartial and fair. To us normal people the change occured ABRUPTLY at the beginning of this year compared to the end of last year. He sucked at the end of last year, offensively. Then, ABRUPTLY, he turned the corner this year. Whine on though!
  9. Yes, if it continues through the rest of the season. Remember last year he tailed off at the end. I want a full season to see his final numbers. So far so good, obviously
  10. The term "abrupt" means different things to different people. For me its an ABRUPT year over year improvement. I will continue to cite his contributions when appropriate-and I will continue to criticize him for swinging at bad pitches. In that way I am probably the most fair and balanced poster here.
  11. Not at all! I am pleased that so far he seems to have turned his career around and so noted in last night’s game thread. I didn’t think he could make such an abrupt improvement. He still swings at bad pitches more than average but as long as he is producing who cares?
  12. I heard that Contreras is in a 7 day concussion IL protocol. That means he is out for the season the way our medical staff has been missing things.
  13. Lots of Kudos to go around Bello....Rafaela...Monasterio etc. But you are wrong to assume that we have the entire bullpen available for the next two games. Not necessarily. If we need a couple of guys tonight for an extended outing they will not be available tomorrow, potentially. One win out of the next two and we win, I believe, our eigth series in a row.
  14. Here’s how it works: all I have to do is call the game over and the Flops will win
