Beni doing his 75% jog. I don't care if it's an auto double, fucking hustle dude.

Meh? It's more like watching a dog roll around in liquid fertilizer on a hot late summer's day.

Get Eloy off this team please.

Vaughn got a cookie and popped it up. Damn.

Robert's value is skyrocketing showing he's healthy.

Nice AB Beni. Bum.

holy s%*# they combined viagra and cialis? My god.

Thank you Jon for reminding everybody of Covid.

Thorpe sitting 90-91 again. He really needs to put on a couple more ticks this offseason.

look at these clowns celebrating a guy moving his OPS over 300 in July. What a bunch of losers.

it's insane how bad MLB umps are at calling obvious strikes that missed the catcher's target. Robots.

and a terrible Eloy AB of course following a nice walk by Vaughn.

Bienvenido a Miami. Wonder if Moncada made the trip...

Tragically the Grimace magic has worn off a bit. Stink of the Same Ole' Mets has returned a bit.

This kid is the definition of "long levers". Unlike a bunch of our scrubs he's actually got a boatload of physical talent as well as skill.

Crochet is a guy that can single handedly win you two games in a 7 game series by going 14 innings and allowing 1 run. That def has a premium attached to it.

FIP is basically broken in the current hitting environment. For starters ERA still works well enough imo.

I have to say I'm sorta enjoying the Central being the best division so far as well. The smaller markets having a good year. Get sick of Yankees, Dodgers, etc.

Yea I'd like to see him back at 2nd. He doesn't really have the arm for 3B. Maybe he'd look better on the pivot than trying to stab plays down the line and fire across the diamond. He's not a great athlete so I'd expect an average 2B at best, but it's worth a look before season is over. Get him at least 30 games there once Moncada is back. Lopez should be DFA or traded for a bag of used BP balls.

ideally he slots in as a good utility guy.

Yea we should have seen him have 300 or so MLB PA way earlier than this given the state of the team.

So he kinda sucks at 3B (as reported by yours truly) but if he keeps hitting like this he's got a role. Insane what statcast has as his percentile for BA. We are in a new era boys. If you can hit 280 as a player you are almost assuredly an average regular all things considered. And he's got some pop. Interesting profile, a guy that can probably hit a bit, but isn't a great athlete and probably will need to hit like 280/320/420 to be a solid regular. Honestly maybe he can do it. In today's game if you can hit for average with pop it carries value, it's rare.

Huge rally and win for them today. Sparked by Julio. Even tho I half heartedly root against them it was cool to see Julio lead the charge, he's a helluva player just in a pretty bad slump. For a minute they had a 1 game lead and a negative RD, then Julio hit a solo HR and that really seemed to ignite things. Hitting is contagious.

Yea, I will always respect the guy for what he was able to do here. He wasn't the best GM, but he was far from the worst. That said, dude is now 60 himself and I'm not sure he's got anything left in the tank given how long he's been playing ping pong upstairs with Michael Reinsdorf and crew.
