Well let that be a lesson to ya. Get yer @@@ here on time in the future.

 

Yeah, the next time the Twins drop a challenge this bad, I want to see it from start to finish and try to spot the exact moment in the dugout closeup when Rocco starts listening to his right shoulder.

Seems pretty clear the outlier is the .995 OPS on 2019, not what happened before or since.

 

He never put up the kind of numbers in the minors that would support the idea he's anywhere close to that good.

 

However, he also shouldn't be this bad.

 

Hopefully he levels off into a dangerous kind of .750-ish hitter. That's my estimate of where he sort of "belongs."

He did have a OPS of .928 one year in AAA, so there is some precedent for his outbreak. I don’t know what’s happened to him, but he has the potential to be a really good hitter.

We need a reaction button other than 'like'.

 

I mean, this is a good post, but I sure as $**#)@(@( don't "like" it.

Hmm. What what would that look like. Maybe an”ISBIC” button for “It Stinks, But I Concur”?

It's taking a long time to hear about why Buxton left the game.

 

I think that on weekends it takes longer to get results for mail-in stool sample tests for migraines.

Tuned in just in time to see a major league play by Polanco. Hip hip Jorge!

The 7 hopper out to short right? 

 

He's now 1 for 2 on that play.

Because the first thing I do as a fan after doinking a fly ball and then running over to pick it up is take off my shirt and flex...

winner.

Can confirm. 

 

All samples, in fact.

In almost every away game vs the Brewers, a hometown fan finds a way to remind me I'm kinda glad to not be from Milwaukee.

Yeah, well, I meant to add that on the play to his right that Plonk did make, Nick Gordon does not make that play. Not unless he has improved greatly during the intervening two years. He just doesn't.

Do other pitchers end up fielding as much as Pineda?

Seems like his doing a fair bit of it.

To be fair, he does have a little more surface area to protect than most pitchers do.

 

EDIT: Yeah, like Chief said.
