16-13 Pythagorean W/L: 17-12 Team OPS+: 94 Team ERA+: 137 1.5 Games Back
You want to hear something sad? Despite missing over two weeks, Chas is still our 5th most valuable position player from a WAR standpoint. And interestingly, Tuckers defensive WAR is horrible at -.6 so far. That's where I question WAR, because his defense has still looked great.

That's where I question WAR, because his defense has still looked great. To me Tucker’s problem is how he swings down on one knee to hit an outside pitch. He was perfectly fine in ‘21 when he had an all-fields approach. I’m not sure why he sacrificed his batting average to sell out to pull-hitting.

This is the best start he's ever had. He's in a little bit of a power slump like most of our team not named Pena, but overall his offense is excellent. I'm just surprised that his defensive WAR is so low.

Yeah, I don’t see a change in his defense. Are his peers stepping up and affecting his value? Before, his only challenger was Betts.

Holy crap, Diaz gets to start since it's Brown on the mound. I'm glad that arguably our top catching prospect is getting to play 27% of the time. That 70+% time spent on the bench is probably super useful.

Cha cha to the IL, Matt Gage called up Gage has been purely a reliever since coming back to baseball in 2021, so I would assume Blanco and/or Seth Martinez are going to make some starts. Or maybe Gage is a temporary call-up for depth while they work on bringing France or Whitley up.

As long as they don't beat up women, I don't care if they're an asshole. No, Sherwin. We're not signing Bauer.

Abreu with a misplay, a steal, now a lame single.

Way to at least give your pitcher a breather, offense.

Impressive work by Gage. The offense has to do their job.

Can't say enough about the bullpen stepping up these last three games.

I’m gonna act like Todd here and shit on this offense.

The bats love a disappearing act. On the broadcast, they said our offense is the worst in MLB vs. sliders.

Yainer 2/2 at throwing out runners. Maldy who?
