Yup, lol.

[Spanky99]

Buck's hammered, lol.

Sogard's ball was at the wall before he finally uttered the phrase "base hit" lol

[Spanky99]

Richard hurt, Kingham in.

Sogard keeps this up, he should get us a lottery ticket. Dude has a wRC+ of 128, and so versatile.

 

Who'd have thunk he'd be putting up 2 fWAR at this point in his career to date in this season.

I don’t know about that. Why would a playoff team want a rental bench utility infielder? I guess if someone gets a few injuries, maybe. Still think Galvis is more likely to be traded despite Sogard having the best 2 months of his career.

 

Obv if we get anything it’s a great bonus.

[Bobthe4th]

Richard injured? Borucki should be back next week then even if Stroman is still here.

[Terminator]

I could totally see someone giving up a C+ prospect for Sogard.

I’m much more interested in the offers we get for Smoak. Hasn’t really been any rumours about him for a while, wonder if an extension is still an option.

You would think, they won't get the value via trade, better to sign him up.

Did you read my post? A lottery ticket at that production is certainly viable. Also, I believe Galvis stays.

IMO we’ll keep one of them, and Galvis is more likely to be attractive to a playoff team that needs infield depth.

 

Sogard is having a pretty good run but is just as likely to revert to his career form (i.e. below replacement level) for the rest of the season.

 

Again, would be pleasantly surprised if I’m wrong and we get something for him.

If they trade him, they could always resign him in the offseason again.

Biagini sucks

[Spanky99]

Great play, Randal...

Why do all these pitchers turn into Greg Maddux the second they face Vlad Jr.? I don't get it

[Terminator]

Just painting both corners of the plate every single pitch.

[Spanky99]

Nice Grandal, that takes both strength and luck.

That's true in general but Ottavino is a very good reliever, it's pretty common for him to be downright unhittable at times.

I think he's just lost right now. I haven't watched much lately as I've been travelling, but checked fangraphs and his hard hit percentage is dropping. He's like 1 homer the last 5 or 6 weeks.

 

The only at bat I saw was his third today. Didn't see the first pitch. Second pitch was a straight fastball outer third, but not on the corner. No idea why he took it. 3rd pitch was a slider way off the plate, and he didn't seem to recognize it until the last minute and barely held his swing. Fourth pitch was a hanger on the inside part of the plate, but hanging a bit. Should of swung at that too.

 

It just looks to me like he's lost right now.

[Orgfiller]

Garbage call, I don't think even David Phelps thought he had that one.

Vlad is being pitched like anyone else He's scuffling

lol... data says this is very incorrect, and yes he's scuffling.

[DigitalRock]

He's had plenty of pitches to hit, he has either just missed them or taken, and he is chasing more then he ever has. Everyone gets pitched tough in the Majors. Him scuffling is the issue not everyone pitches him tougher then anyone else.

[Spanky99]
