I agree, but on the other hand, the Coliseum at night saved him two flyballs which would have been no-doubters in a lot of other ballparks. He wasn't that bad or good but he certainly got nothing from his defense.
Is it really the yips though? I swear he's always been awful at receiving, watching him in the playoffs especially is painful when usually every other team has a rock behind the plate.
I was just pointing out that his contact rate on those pitches is fine, plenty of good hitters are around ~70%, on the other hand the majority of elite hitters have low O-swing rates.
Well the O-Contact is fine, 70% is around Mike Trout's career average, the O-Swing for sure needs to drop a lot. He swings and misses at exactly a league average rate so that's fine, but would likely go down if he stopped swinging at pitches outside the zone.
Even if what you said is true, Sam Gaviglio would be a pretty decent get out of a compensation pick that most likely would have flamed out within a few years.
It's two weeks of an injured Josh Donaldson dude, of course it's going to look lopsided. At least we got something out of him, this season was the worst case scenario for the front office and they tried to salvage anything they could out of it.
You know what's a lopsided deal, Noah Syndergaard + Travis d'Arnaud for a f***ing 40 year old knuckleballer.
What was Kris Bryant doing there? With a 5-man infield and the bases loaded, he gets a groundball hit to him by Yelich, and he attempts to go back to third, step and throw to first instead of coming home right away. Terrible thinking for someone who runs as fast as Yelich.
Boras can complain all he wants, if Sanchez continues to be garbage he's not doing s*** to stop the team from doing whatever the hell they want with him.
The Brewers' bench for this game against the Cubs includes Granderson, Domingo Santana, Eric Thames, Mike Moustakas and Travis Shaw. Granted, the starter was Cole Hamels which is why a number of those guys weren't starting, but damn that's deep.
He's just going to say that it's the Marlins, which to be fair it's true. But 10 strikeouts is 10 strikeouts, and only one walk, the command was very good today.
