I'm there with you Omar. I've been defending that Varsho trade since the day it was made. CF was a glaring hole and I love the way Varsho plays the game. So happy to see him making the adjustments to unlock his offensive potential.
Love hearing about these adjustments that France has made. The talent is in there somewhere - he was a really good hitter from 2020-2022.
It reminds me of the Straw trade - everyone is baffled by the acquisition, yet all they do is contribute.
I just read this. Unreal stuff.
George Springer over his last 45 games: 66 hits 50 runs 39 RBI 16 HR 9 SB. The only other MLB players to reach all of those numbers over a 45-game span in a single season are Babe Ruth (1920) & Lou Gehrig (1931)
Do any MLB catchers actually change their stance and revert back to a standard catching position with runners on 3rd? I can't say I've noticed anyone who does.
In this case the catcher got his entire glove on the ball. He just missed it.
What a moronic hill to die on. Almost every single catcher in MLB uses the 1 knee down approach and there is all kinds of data to back it up. It's being taught throughout the game by everyone.
Buck doesn't like anything that's different from when he played and always voices his displeasure about it.
