Yes. Differential is just simply runs scored minus runs given up. Earned... unearned...vs a position player or a one-eyed midget wearing fishnets... doesnt matter
Anyone recall what game it was when Springer kinda hurt himself on a swing ... was that the point where his slide started?
It was his left wrist then and he's shaking it again. He must have something going on/lingering with that
When Sandlin comes back...another excellent addition to that depth.
If Swanson and Burr also come back to their potential, some guys are gonna get shuffled that don't deserve to...but that's a great problem to have
This game so far is all the proof anyone should need as to why HR power is vital in today's MLB.
You aren't gonna get many hits off aces that often, so when you do...they better be over the fence as often as possible
I get the argument against top end pitchers but... trading 2 outs for a run against a great pitcher is also still really hard. You're basically banking on a guaranteed fly ball out deep enough to score which is far from a likely outcome for a 9-hole hitter against an ace.
That said, he hit it on the screws, just got s*** luck.
Burr and Swanson both with much better 2nd outings at Buffalo
Swanson 1.2 IP, no runs,hits or walks allowed with 1K
Burr, 1.1 IP, no runs, no hits 1 walk 2 Ks
Very much so.
But if anyone is looking for some kinda optimism on Tony Taters... as of May 15th last season he only had 7 HR, 2 more than he has now.
so... maybe soon?
