Gunnar Henderson 2023

[86this]

I know there were comments about what the TB Rays announcers said about Gunnar's homerun and I happened on this other commentary.  They were commenting about Hays "unsportsmanlike" conduct for trying to fake out the runner.

ESPN pregame had the tidbit Gunnar's hard hit rate of 53% is 2nd best of the Statcast era since 2017.

'17 Aaron Judge #1.

My favorite part of that broadcast with regards to Henderson is when they quoted Aaron Boone about his thoughts on Gunnar.  He said "Yeah, he's going to be a problem".

I just came here to say that Gunnar Henderson is a future MVP.

That is all.

I don't care what the splits say...there's no way I am intentionally walking Hays to get to Henderson right now, even with the left-on-left matchup.

He’s an absolute stud. He may end up being a 5 WAR player this year.

It was an awful decision. Hays has been awful since the AS break.

[RZNJ]

He hasn’t been “hot” yet but his very warm is impressive.   

[RVAOsFan]

What pick do we get after Gunnar collects his ROY award? I guess they have to wait until the end of the year to give him that as a formality

Yeah.  Horrible managerial decision.

He's ice cold.  You'd love to give him some rest, but Mullins is out.

Not to mention he had already grounded into two double plays on the night. Over managing at its finest.

No doubt. You may have to anyway but it’s certainly harder with Mullins and even Hicks out.

No worries.  Cowser's here.

I did forget about McKenna. That at least means you can get Cowser out of CF..not that he really belongs there anyway.
