Incredible

 

[Suntouchable13]

I am rooting for Barger, but he just hasn't been able to get anything going. Frustrating

The alternative (Clement) is not much better sadly.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Lukes has been lowkey very good

 

[MK78]

woo sweet!

 

[Forgotusername]

Luke's did something good.

 

[The Nemesis]

Come on boys where are those clutch dingers you teased us with!

You'll get a Lukes double and like it.

Yessir!

 

[Discoverer]

Lukes has been lowkey very good

I wanted him demoted after those two stupid baserunning mistakes, but he's been very good ever since. He's up to a 113 wRC+ now.

 

[MK78]

Phew, made it interesting but Hoffman gets it done!

He’s been a bit unlucky. Making good contact but not finding holes.

 

[The Nemesis]

He’s been a bit unlucky. Making good contact but not finding holes.

He also really hasn't had any extended run. He comes up as an injury fill-in, and then the fact that he's stumbling makes it easy to send him back down. He could benefit from a few weeks of being able to play through mistakes and see if he can adjust to problems and/or that his batted ball luck evens out.

That's what makes it so frustrating.

 

[MK78]

It will be interesting how Gausman performs after that 53 pitch inning he had last game.

 

[The Nemesis]

Solid 1st inning for Gausman. Hopefully that means the debacle that ended his last start is behind him and we're back to regularly scheduled dominance.

 

[Tw1ster]

Bo-mer! Happy for him

 

[MK78]

I know someone has mentioned this before, what's the deal with Vladdy and the way he interacts with opposing players that reach first base? Recently i've seeh him hug a player, bop them on the head, right now i just saw him pull on a chain behind his jersey. Does he do this to distract them or he's just not focusing enough on the game?

Oh Bo Just homered! Nice.

 

[The Nemesis]

It's weird that we can't use the Bo hair flip gif anymore...

You can see that he's a genial, happy guy practically all the time. Lots of players have talked about talking to the opposing 1B when they reach, they just aren't as upbeat about it. I hardly think it means he's "not focusing enough on the game."

Oh yeah I've seen players talk all the time. But I just don't recall this lever of interaction as Vladdy has. I first noticed it a year or two ago when Rowdy Tellez reached base and they were horsing around, but i figured they were teammates and came up together etc...

 

[mikeyz]

Varsho strikes out twice today on the exact same pitch in the exact same count.

Have to score here
