Despite the ugliness of his overall slash line, Gose has shown some pretty nice progress this year. His K rate is down 10% from previous and his walk rate is up over 5%. BABIP is a bit low as well so while he's not exactly setting the world on fire, He is showing signs that he might not be a complete liability with the bat.. eventually.
-
Yeah, my bad, Nolin should have been the performance of the day. I sent you a trade offer. Just a starting point so don't laugh too hard when you read it.

Donahue is not a prospect at all. Pompey and Lopes are doing okay, though Pompey is the same as any other of AA's "athletes." He strikes out too much, doesn't have power and doesn't have a good hit tool. Lopes has a good hit tool and doesn't strike out a lot, but his 2.2% walk rate needs to come up. At 6'0, 185 he might fill out a bit more and maybe get to average power when he fully develops so that wouldn't be bad for a 2b.

I really wish people who don't quite know how to apply the term "regression" in baseball vernacular would stop using it. It doesn't mean what you think it means in the context you just used it. The word you are looking for is "retrogress."

I've just decided to abandon the picture idea, since I am clearly not capable of performing such a monumental task of internetz wizardry.

oh well, at least JPA didn't strike out. -
uh oh, Edwin got something to RF... Murphy won't be impressed.
-
White Sox
-
Interesting fact, so far today the Jays have only managed to get 3 runners in scoring position.
-
Very much agreed.
-
7 pitches in the 6th. No-No still intact and a quick inning to boot.
-
I think it's possible that JPA ups his walks over the course of time as he goes on in his career, but even if he does... he's still very bad defensively at the position he plays, and a few more walks per year isn't going to change his overall value because of that fact. As a catcher, his D will also improve, but even with slow marginal improvement over time, he would only get be an average defensive catcher by the time he's 30+, at which point his bat would go south and he'd still be an overall liability as an everyday player.
-
He's also at 80 pitches before the 6th inning started. Unless he gets a couple very quick innings, he won't last.
-
It could also be that the fastballs he's facing today have been 88-91, rather than 93+, therefore that hitch is just not causing to be late on the slower FB
-
Lawrie has been snakebit this entire series, he's been spraying it all over the park and nothing really falling in. He could easily have had 7 or 8 hits
-
Right now I'd be first pitch hacking on Motensen, clearly a guy who would be throwing nothing but first pitch fastballs... and he can't hit 90 consistently with it. I'd go up there waiting for that first pitch meatball right now.
-
The long ball at work. It's just too bad that it's not a sustainable way to score runs consistently.
-
Gotta get him out of there now. 90 pitches and you sure as hell don't want Boston building momentum
-
Yep. BUt if that's the worst strike call all day, it would be a pleasant change.
-
NVM, they are off tomorrow, so he can feel free to use the pen as normal.
-
I know Jenkins hit his poitch count, but I would definitely roll him out for 1 more inning. No need to use 2-3 pen arms in a blowout.
-
I R genius
-
He does have a problem with consistant defense though.
-
They won't walk Melky to load the bases for Jose
-
Would be good time for a double steal right now.
