July 10, 20242 yr I’m all in on Happ. That kid is on fire right now. Feels like he’s going on a run like Bellinger did last year after June.

July 10, 20242 yr Will they ever even attempt at making Marsh an everyday player? To me he looks the part at the plate, and he’s good enough in the outfield. At this point, I’m trusting him over Rojas, Pache, Castellanos, and even Stott. I understand he struggles with left-handed pitching, but if they don’t let him take his lumps, how will he ever improve?

I understand he struggles with left-handed pitching, but if they don’t let him take his lumps, how will he ever improve? The irritating part about it is like if he can’t hit lefties and you let him do it for half the season you would know at the deadline that he can’t do it and it’s likely not happening after 2 years of working with him. The fact that they won’t let him hit lefties after two years of working on it with him signals they think he might have maxed out at being a platoon player. He is going to be 27 in December and entering his six year next year. Usually you don’t start hitting lefties randomly in year 6 when you haven’t really shown you could do it at a marginal level for the first five years you were in the league.

His bat just looks different if he can play CF at a high level than it does as a corner OF. There were some weird metrics I saw that labeled him as one of the rangier OFs in all of baseball, but I realize he’s considered a merely adequate CF. Generally speaking, if you want to add pop to your outfield, it’s a lot easier to do it at the corners. CFs with big bats are pricey.
July 10, 20242 yr This team can play like the greatest team in the league and then less than 24 hours later they play like they haven’t won a game all year long. I wish they had more consistency playing like this
July 10, 20242 yr The increasing use of position players on the mound in blowouts is interesting on so many levels. For one, it does seem to make sense to trade the miniscule chance of a win for rest for your bullpen arms. Beyond that…the position players that play are still professional baseball players. They still have big arms. They could be winding up and throwing 80-85. Part is that they are preserving their own arms and body by throwing 50. But it also speaks to the delicate timing for hitters. These guys get more outs throwing 45-50 than they would grooving meatballs at 80.
