Being able to hit 96 isn't that much of a calling card in today's game. Seems like a sunk cost to me but not as if they don't have a need in the pen right now.

Pitcher wins is a mostly useless stat.

He doesn't wear glasses.

I stayed up all night hoping he'd post so I'd know he was alright.

Just like everyone else.

I was worried he wasn't OK after he went radio silent after the Mullins dong.

That is what, six hits in a row for O'Hearn? What are the odds of that?

Nice O'Hearn!

Sure. He should be ready, It's his job. Not like they are asking him to catch.

Can't say I like what that implies.

First off that's ridiculous and secondly I'm not saying Mullins is the MVP, just that I'd put him ahead of O'Hearn, who I also don't think is the team MVP. It's Gunnar by a wide margin.

Woe is me. O'Hearn is a great story. He doesn't play enough. Even missing time to injury Mullins has impacted more games. He also impacts games more with his glove and on the basepaths.

It's cool, he's been a great story.

It's not close. I'd put Bradish, Adley, Felix and Mullins ahead of him.

You have to be something first. His only season prior to this one that was above replacement was his rookie season in which he played like 44 games. This is more like a most improved player situation.

Can we get some sort of meme for folks whining about how unfair the strikezone is? It's terribly unoriginal and in almost every case the ump sheet that comes out the next day shows the guy did a mostly OK job.

Seems like half the pitchers in the league have had at least one TJ surgery.

Was more of a blurb than a full story.

I forget the details but they were relocated.

/shrug. I just don't care for it as a strategy, especially when they don't really know how long the player will be out for.

And maybe we don't get either.

I think the plan is to use Bautista in the playoffs if he appears capable of helping and then have him get surgery in the offseason. I also think he is 100% on board with the idea.

You can easily put the manager in a situation in which he is sorely tempted to rush a player back.

I don't think most players that get to this level have an issue dealing with high stress situations.
