Around Baseball 2023

Heard lots of opinions on it today. He thought he was going to get held at 3B.

 

They should have held him. Why take the chance in that context when the score is 4-1

[BTS]

Coming of a bunch of hammy injuries too, he's likely not as fast as he used to be, which was pretty close to top precentile in 2022.

 

Olli marmol doesn’t seem like the smartest guy

[BTS]

Sean Murphy is sitting for the 3rd time in 6 games. AA must not be super thrilled with Snit’s handling of his big offseason addition.

D’arnaud kinda tearing it up rn so hard to blame him… although he could have him DH more over Ozuna.

d'Arnaud is better tho

Ozuna is the puzzling one. Murphy is just straight up a better hitter at this point.

[BTS]

d'Arnaud is better tho

 

He's not, but either way, AA didn't acquire Murphy to back up d'Arnaud. The plan was clearly to DH a catcher most days they weren't starting. But Snit seems inexplicably married to Ozuna in that spot.

Gotta be faithful to the wife-beater

ahahahahahahahaaa

Not exactly a shocker given that he's 37 now, but Josh Donaldson looks pretty washed.

[Jimcanuck]

BTS has some angst, being a Murphy shareholder

His legs are shot and he has no power in the swing

Honestly credit to him for putting up almost 10 WAR after he left us and all the drama surrounding his leg injuries, before being traded to the Yankees and turning into a pumpkin who’s also a headcase.

Why is Christian Pache starting against Gerrit Cole? Is Brandon Marsh injured or something?

Down 4-1, Boone left him in, with 2 runners on base, to face Kimbrel in the 9th last night while Rizzo sat restlessly on the bench. JD popped out, game over.

IDK

 

It just seemed like an odd trade for the Braves to make

[Solaxys]

Rays are winning again, eesh.

 

Also they are sending Grayson against DeGrom, interesting watch. Starting soon.

Aaannnnd he just injured his calf and is out of the game.

Borderline punting the game

Lawl no way

This year could very well be it for him. He needs to have a good year or he's done since he's a FA at the end of the year. I can't imagine teams will be banging down the door to bring in a 38 year old coming off a bad year and his reputation.

[Orgfiller]

It's honestly pretty shocking to me that a team like the Yankees is starting Franchy Cordero in 2023. Like yeah Harrison Bader is injured, but that's your best internal option to fill in the outfield for you?

[Spanky99]

Sandy reminds me a lot of Halladay, right down to wasting his prime on a team that will never win with him.

 

Bwahahaha... well played!

[Spanky99]

More ground balls getting through 1st and 2nd base does not make for more exciting Baseball.

 

How about the hard line drives through that gap, don't be obtuse Jonn.

[Spanky99]

d'Arnaud is better tho

 

Hah!!!

[Spanky99]

Why is Christian Pache starting against Gerrit Cole? Is Brandon Marsh injured or something?

 

lol

[Spanky99]

That unfolded quite comically...

[philly30]

Yes, sprained ankle

[Orgfiller]

The Phillies bullpen is god awful.

[John_Havok]

 

First 2 pitches were called strikes, then he fouled off the rest and hit a dinger on the 12th pitch of the AB.
