Idk if I am walking into a sarcasm post I misread, but he got paid in spring training.

You were right on the sarcasm sir. 

[WBT 20418]

Great AB by both George and Jake

[YChang 3430]

Way to go George!

Didn't he change his swing this spring? Last year he batted .211 so your statement is not totally correct.

Yeah, I was talking about LAST year. Right. 

No. I heard somewhere around these parts that Marisnick wasn’t worthy of a roster spot. 

So far, THIS YEAR, he’s proving that theory wrong. 

[WBT 20418]

Kalas just called that an earned run and MLB Gameday shows that as well.  Don't you have to wait to see how the inning plays out to know if Jake would have scored without the throwing error?

I was basing it on the fact that people had opinions from how he played last year.

No, because the hit take precedence. The hit happened before the throwing error

[WBT 20418]

Yeah but if not for the error he would have been at first and then he wouldn't have scored on George's hit.

They based it solely on how he played in April. He was fine after his first recall at the end of May.

[Mez2 4021]

Both hits were earned. Scorekeepers can be wonky but that's how it's played out. 

[Mez2 4021]

Great eye, wow

[elfenix 34171]

correa's gotten pretty good at the 60 foot hit

[elfenix 34171]

more DPs than legalporno

[thetruth 149]

Correa mashing them like Bregs did earlier last season.

He batted .200 in July and .184 in September/October. Personally, I think Jake fits in his role well.

[Mo Horn 8807]

Wasted a chance to add more

I agree.  He's never going to be a good hitter but he plays great defense and runs into homeruns every now and then.  He's fine as a 4th OF.

Lol he had 10 ABs in July. 

Look at his numbers before he was sent down. They were awful. Then after, where they were in line with 2017. April skewed his season and people’s perception.

Great defense, speed, occasional power, and - so far this year - ability to get on base. 

Perfect reserve outfielder.

Not in a 7-2 game. 

Yeah, good point. I had forgotten we had a 5 run lead.

Nice little 6-0 homestand.  2019 home = 2017-2018 road?

[UTEX_ME 4754]

so they are going to win a lot at home this year? Cool

[kevwun 15643]

Pressly fucks.

Made it interesting at the end, but a win, any win, is good. 

[4Pete 156]

[Rustic Horn 929]

[runthebone 7932]

Sweepy sweep sweep

Okay, then he had 2 good months and 3 bad months

Sweeping the Yankees will never get boring.

No snarky trolling comment from me. That was horrible. The Astros are very, very clearly the better team at the moment. I hope that changes come October, but I won’t hold my breath. Fuck. 

[Mez2 4021]

Good series,  obviously,  but when they're at full strength they'll be a handful. We'll see them again in October
