Luplow had his contract selected, Cimber to the 60 Day IL.

 

Luplow been hitting lefties well at Buffalo with an OPS over 1.000.

The Padres lineup is hilariously unbalanced. 4 star caliber players. 2 more solid regulars (one of whom should be batting in the bottom third not leadoff). And then 3 scrubs to go along with a bunch of scrubs on the bench.

Springer base hit

[John_Havok]

lets go Belt, make it hurt early!

[Spanky99]

That was a terrible call, my God!

[John_Havok]

Dman, nice pitch. Cant blame him for taking that.

 

It caught the strike zone, please remember the upper part of the TV strike zone is terrible

[Spanky99]

Vlad, dude?

[BlueBaller]

Fatimir heading down to the .260s.

 

Defend him, clowns.

[John_Havok]

Darvish sweating like a pig and not even out of the 1st inning. So out of shape...

[Spanky99]

Nice Chappy.

[Spanky99]

Berrios' sharp tonight!

[JFD]

Not sure what Vlad was laughing at after that AB. Himself?

We might be at that stage in Springer's contract where he needs to move down to 5th or 6th in the lineup. No knock on him but he's no spring chicken anymore.

we start moving guys down pretty soon no one will be batting 1,2,3;)

Merrifield should be leadoff

You worried about wear and tear?

[JFD]

Berrios giving Soto too much respect to lead off an inning

[Spanky99]

Damn, that was going to be sexy.

[Spanky99]

Berrios is a stud.

[Terminator]

You worried about wear and tear?

 

Nah he's just trending downward. I wouldn't worry about anything this year but he just might not be a top of the lineup bat moving forward.

[bones10]

What more can you say about Varsho lol.

[keggy]

Merrifield should be leadoff

 

Guerrero needs to lead off. I'll die on that hill.

Yer dumn.

"2. George Springer, Toronto Blue Jays

2024 WAR: 4.2 preseason, 2.8 midseason (-1.40)

2024 wOBA: .357 preseason, .334 midseason (-.023)

 

Springer has been far from awful this season, and he’s still on track to finish the season with somewhere in the neighborhood of three WAR. But his offense has dropped off a bit, and he’s old enough that ZiPS is simply forecasting far fewer scenarios in which he gets back to his late Houston peak. You can make the argument that it isn’t that the computer is being too mean now, but that it was a little too nice at the start of the season."

 

Nice try but if you think I'm dumn then you think the highly respected Mr. Dan Szymborski himself is dumn.

 

One thing my haters don't get is that I have literally zero original thoughts of my own. I merely copy stuff I read online and regurgitate it. That's why I never lose any arguments.

We gettin' carved up like quarter chicken dinner at Swiss Chalet.

Zips is dumn. Look at his splits and tell me where he's trending down?

[Delgalladay]

Looks like the offense is back in hibernation this series
