k - we are cooking again. Cano was pretty awful last year when the chips were down.. good when nothing was happening on the bases
Just throw the majority on ignore. That's why i did and it's made a big difference.
Bo has had clutch hits this year. Vlad not so much.Bo and Vlad real clutch. Way to smash losers
Yeah but they are mostly hititng singles which you need several to generate a single run.They're swinging the bats pretty well to start the year i would say but the power just isn't there yet and i'm not particularly sure why. (Team OPS is a bit low, which makes sense given this team doesn't walk all that much)
Pitching has been remarkably good but given how the ebbs and flow of baseball work, you can't expect them to all be this good, all the time. Eventually it's going to hit a rough patch and the offense is going to be expected to find those home runs that can't seem to atm.
To be fair Santander missed a second home run by a few feet.
You don't if you run the bases. In 94 the Expos did not have that much power. But they were running the base. Every time there was a runner at 3rd and 1st with less than 2 outs they would automatically steal the 2nd and if the catcher would throw to 2nd they would steal the home plate on the throw. With a runner at 1st and 2nd less than 2 outs they would very often steal 3rd and 2nd (to avoid double play). Lot of hit and run. In a game where you have 10 hits and only one HR you can't have just 1 stolen base. And frankly that's one the coach only Vlad and Kirk can't steal on the team.Yeah but they are mostly hititng singles which you need several to generate a single run.
To be fair that's also like 30 years ago too. Game has changed quite a bit.You don't if you run the bases. In 94 the Expos did not have that much power. But they were running the base.

That was a different era in baseball. like 80's in hockey.You don't if you run the bases. In 94 the Expos did not have that much power. But they were running the base.
