How many years did he play ball without robo-umps? He should know to protect the plate.

Why are you using quotes around calculation? Are you accusing them of just making up numbers? We do have an idea of how much impact the various counts have on the outcome of an at bat. There is this for chart for instance, tracking the chance to get on base.

And now they are trading two for one to get the pitching. How much of that depth is gone? He had to give up two ML ready position players for Rodgers, he had to trade three guys for Eflin.

I was just commenting that Trumbo was not the absolute worst outfielder I've seen.

It's 1+1 level math.

Larry Sheets. Delmon Young. Nelson Cruz. Trumbo was bad but he wasn't Adam Dunn out there.

You put Witt in the blocks and I bet he could reach 30.8 easy.

How do you have seven assists in 20 games at first?

Flavor aid.

Zach Eflin was good.

Shame he isn't in Mountcastle's glove.

That's on the thrower. No way in the world that is "routine". He needs to do better.

He had some singles. Not as if he was crushing the ball. He had a nice series, helped the team win a couple games.

I'm not sure how that is routine.

Once again, I didn't say otherwise. But coming into this season he most certainly had a positive reputation as a quality pitch framer. So he was "known for" pitch framing.

I read somewhere that didn't look like a viable option either. No I don't have the quote on hand.

He's making it easy. He looks like a DH. He looked like a DH in the minors.

Everyone knew this.

Who is going to soak up the innings?

Rogers might not get much more than one inning.

Probably because Eloy has that intimidating veteran presence that cows the umps.

Someone was talking about picking up his option the other day. I don't think they were joking.

What makes you think he's capable of learning how to play defense? Serious question. Maybe he's always going to be a defensive liability.
