How was the weather? My recollection was that he didn’t have a feel for it that game and had trouble locating either for a strike or close enough to get a chase.

I actually think you hit on it. The more realistic extension candidates are Cowser, Westburg, Kjerstad, Mayo, and Basallo.

Time will tell but when I watch Peyton Burdick with Norfolk he sells out for power way more than Fabian and he’s been able to have an extended cup of coffee in MLB and Fabian might be a better defender. Rooting for more nights like last night even if the home run numbers suffer a little.

Looks for comfortable and natural there as he gets mor reps, IMO. No longer looking like a fish out of water.

Sounds like a deal.

Shane Bieber?

Does your mommie know your posting on a sports message board? (just kidding). Been waiting to use that one.

Just ask some of those guys in the Christ thread to pray for it. I asked God for my first serious girlfriend and promised if I got that I would never ask for anything again. I’ve been all out of asks for a long, long time.

3.7. Book it Dano!

Gunnar had 4.7 FWAR last year. I’m going with 3.7 for Holliday. The Baltimore Kid breaks out within the next 7 games.

And play when and where?

Holliday is the only thing standing between us having a dangerous hitter 1-9 with our A lineup. Once he gets going, no soft spots. Very few teams can say this. Good pitching still stops good hitting. Just have to hope the Royals pitchers don’t have their A+ games in this series. First two games look like tossups pitching wise, and we look to be at a disadvantage on Sunday. 2 out of 3 would be excellent.

I’ll be performing at Bananas, the local comedy club, every Friday thru June. Come catch a show. (Disclaimer. Nothing in this post was true)

I think most of us either expected or, at the very least, wouldn’t have been surprised by some amount of regression from last year. At the end of last year he was biting on a lot of breaking balls down and out of the zone. He’s really tightened up his plate discipline so far. Hopefully, it continues. From day 1 he’s consistently had the best at bats of anyone on the team.

Shouldn’t his handle be Just Irregular? Hmmm. On second thought ……
