I don't really think Carlos Correa, one of the best players in baseball over the past eight years, needs motivation. He's just struggling, let's not make this a work ethic issue. -
Oh yeah, they're both slow, which is why I found the substitution hilarious.
-
Okay, I laughed out loud.
-
The thing is that the team wasn't built to be so strikeout-heavy. Miranda isn't a K fiend under good circumstances, neither is Correa. Those are just two examples of players that have wildly underperformed to date. There are others. And there are guys like Kirilloff who are not strikeout-heavy, either. This roster has shifted into whiff-heavy, it wasn't really built that way.
-
Jeffers is quite a bit faster.
-
There we go.
-
More accurately, you need a dose of both. Contact without power leads to the worst OPS in baseball and one of the lowest runs scored in baseball. Teams need power in today's game and with power comes strikeouts.
-
I get why it happened and it's the absolute right move but subbing Jeffers for Vazquez as a pinch-runner is objectively hilarious.
-
It's real unfortunate the catcher was the guy on first there.
-
Probably busy lining up hotties on Tindr.
-
And you can't hit into a double play if you don't put the ball in play. There are a lot of reasons why batting average is so devalued in modern baseball. And it's not because these guys* who run billion-dollar franchises are stupid about baseball. *Kim Ng runs the Marlins so we should probably stop saying "guys" here, me included
-
Several, yes. But the actual impact is a lot smaller than you think.
-
If he's .200/.325/.500, I'm totally fine with that. But it's pretty aggravating to watch. But I kinda like Joey Gallo, with that said.
-
Some of us were at the 50% mark and are still at the 50% mark. It's a few innings of a 162 game season. I do not understand why people get so up-and-down about baseball, it feels mentally unhealthy.

I fixed this for you. When posting a tweet, just grab the URL of the tweet and paste it in here. It'll look like: https://twitter.com/username/status/numbers That's all you have to do.

That was a really bad PA from Gallo. I expect better from him, even if it still results in a K.
-
I resent you making me go look it up. He's been pretty good over the past week. So I've mostly been watching while he's ripping liners and not watching when he isn't.
-
Holy ****, boys.
-
Has Solano actually been good lately or have I only been watching games while he's been good?
-
My thoughts are Correa, Buxton, and Kepler are in the midst of a high-stakes game of horse using a wastebasket in the tunnel and no one wants to be the one to try to stop the game.
-
I've tried to figure out the details on this but it isn't clear. It appears Kepler doesn't like playing center and the team doesn't see upside in forcing him into the position due to health considerations. This is conjecture, mind you, as I said I've tried to figure out why that keeps happening but no one seems to know.
-
Sigh. Jorge. Come on.
-
Then use wRC+ or OPS+ or any other weighted metric. They all say similar things about Joey Gallo.
-
I don't know why he won't play center but it pisses me off 100 days a season. His value changes drastically if he's subbing out MAT on the regular.
-
He still has an OPS just over .800 and an OBP of .325. This is who Gallo is. He gets to his numbers in a very aggravating way but he is productive.
