We have one of the best offenses in the AL.

Just sayin'.

Yes. And we struggle mightily to score in a lot of games.

[HtownHorn 14772]

Give me my shit! He's 4 for his last 19, but 3 are HRs.

Valdez may finally be maturing.   He stuck that bunt hit in his pocket and didn't over freak from the walk.  

Retracted 

[David Dennison 18946]

So glad we don't have a HR prop.

[runthebone 8036]

Let's have Jose turn around one of these straight fastballs

[Scraps 13570]

I want more runs so we can put one in Robles ribs

Nah, we need to straight up nail Rodriguez after that bat spike.

[Scraps 13570]

Zero issue with that....he hit the homer and Framber deserved that shit

Just like zero issue with Meyers yelling and getting fired up.

Robles shit needs to be dealt with

That's our Tuve!

A better slide and he’s easily safe

Jake meyers is an above average baseball player (Not MVP but laughably better than “maybe 5th OF territory”) that’s average (probably) offensively. If he hits 8 or 9 we are perfect and that’s a great outcome. We need Tucker back and at least one more bat- preferably 2. 1B and LF. Everything flows really well if Pena hits 8 and Jake 9th (or vice versa). 
Yainer/singleton/pena/meyers 4-7 isn’t good enough to get us where we want to be. 
Really need 2 guys 20% better than average at 1B and LF so that it’s Tucker plus them 4-6, and then  Yainer/Pena/Meyers. That might be the best 7-9 in baseball. It’s shitty 4-6. 

[Gut Wagon 8087]

Nice to be on the plus side of a wild reliever walking the leadoff guy and then serving up a dinger. Gracias, Ryne.

He's fucking under .200 for his last 50 or so games. I am happy that he finally contributed tonight but he's not an everyday player on any team serious about a long playoff run. How much more under .200 does he have to hit before you accept it, but it's always hilarious of you to comeback to this thread every 40 or so PAs dick riding him?

Oh, ye of little faith! 😎

[BlackCat 441]

Abreu threw that pick off so perfectly he had the pinch runner dead to rights. Put it into a perfect window. Spicy. 

[tx 3 putt 77392]

Yordan insurance would be nice

.240, 106 OPS+

Bigger sample sizes are better than smaller ones

You are right, his sample size outside of May shows him to be hitting under the mendoza line, even Maldonado had months were he wasn't completely useless. I guess you keep changing the goal posts because his WAR total has been stuck at the same number for the past 2 months.
