southsider2k5 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Since LaRussa backed over Yermin for hitting homers, he is .145/.226/.200/.426 What is really interesting is he has a .159 BABIP since that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because the opposing defenders are respecting the game damnit!!.....or he is not hitting the ball very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked to see Sheets spell Yermin tonight as well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Really, REALLY ok with Yermin sitting a day or 2, and letting Sheets play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Bear Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Yermin needs to go to the bench for a couple games. Leury should no longer be an every day player Madrigal needs to be in the 2 hole ASAP Sheets needs to debut Saturday at the latest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is interesting... season exit velocity 87.5mph Since May 18 86.2 mph Before May 18 88.0 mph. Not a huge difference in exit velocity, but definitely a drop off.

South Side Hit Men Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Cool to get my Man Soo Lee fix , the world's coolest bullpen catcher, while checking for today's lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wild is his season long exit velocity is barely over BIlly Hamilton and one of the lowest on the team. I wonder if it has to with his two strike approach weighting it down. Even Adam Eaton is 88.5 mph. Abreu is 92.3 on the top end, and Grandal with 93.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference point, over the same period of time Yoan went from 90.3 up until May 17, and May 18th til now he is 93.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He def didn’t have a 3 pitch K last night though. Yea wise guy, strike one, strike two and strike three. I must have forgotten about the pitch he threw over his head that Yermin didn't swing at.

Of course he is 8th in the single velocity incident rankings at 116.8m, so it is in there for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless hopefully he finds his stroke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's obviously talent there but we're seeing why it took him so long to reach the majors. When you don't produce any sort of defensive value you better hit, and right now he's just not hitting enough. That said he has the talent to turn it around. TLR sure is giving him a vote of confidence not even moving him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 LaRussa is a confusing guy. If any other rookie was struggling like Mercedes is he would have sat him by now but for some reason he refuses to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
