Yeah he sucks. 1 hit, 2 outs with xBA of .640 and .540 and 2 walks today. 1. He doesn’t suck. He’s just sub-replacement level. 2. Nobody cares about xBA. Theoretical stats suck. Lol. How bout you get mad at xander, Martinez, and who have played like bench players for over a month Or do you have some vendetta against Verdugo Xander for instance last hit a homer more than a month ago.

I work in sales. The next time I miss my number, I’m going to tell my boss “yeah, but my number doesn’t take into account all the EXPECTED sales I was going to make”. I’ll let you guys know how that goes.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence when the offense is slumping

Catchers call time out when batting to piss off pitchers far more than anyone else.

No vendetta. I just call it like it is. I don’t fall in love with any of these guys. There are people on this board that refuse to acknowledge obvious truths like JBJ & Dalbec are terrible. There’s a similar level of denial with Verdugo. He’s sub-replacement level. I can’t pretend to get excited about that. I’m sorry. It works the other way, though; If he’s playing well, I’m more than happy to acknowledge it.

If you take his whole career WAR/g (which is understating his worth for any games he didn’t start) he’s a 2.5 WAR/162 player which is slightly above average. I think that’s a fair peg for his talent level too. He’s not the problem with this team, and he’s not the answer to our problems either. But JBJ and Dalbec are empirically awful yes.

That will do it. Trainwreck series. Oh well.
Have to start trimming some fat soon. JBJ and Dalbec have to stop playing. Dalbec isn’t worth anything in trade so I hope the FO sends him down and sees if he can figure something out like Franchy has. If he can be a LF/3B/1B bench guy in the future, that’s worth something.

Dykeman, baseball savant, hits the first batter to set up the DP. The guy is always thinking.
