A big salute to the Great White Shark. This guy has been the spark that we needed. When our big guns let us down, Tyler steps up to help Bregman carry the load. I offer a sincere apology for ever suggesting that White be sent back to Fresno. I was dead wrong on that one. We would be in a mess without him.

Giles got it from fans because his stretches of slumping and being ineffective took place over two years. That's probly how long it'll be for Osuna with fans in his corner |

I realize that you keep calling Osuna a wife beater even though you know that it is false......a guy who has never married can't be a wife beater unless he beats another man's wife and that didn't happen. He will not be convicted of anything. I just compared Osuna's number of good innings to Stassi's number of hits. I thought you may be able to grasp that,but, since you still insist on calling Osuna a wife beater even though you know it 's not true, I can see how that comparison is over your head. You were against trading for Osuna and refuse to concede that Luhnow stole him from Toronto by getting him for a head case who was never going to pitch for us again. Only psychos punch themselves in the face and tell the manager to f*** off when removed from a game. We dumped Giles and got a good, young, proven closer who has been one of the best even though he is still very young. He is also under contract for at least two more years. Another point about Stassi.......I seem to remember you saying Maldonado would be left off the playoff roster and Stassi would make it. Maldonado is a lock for a playoff roster spot unless he in injured at the time. McCann will be activated Saturday which means Stassi will be relegated to the bench and will only be on the playoff roster if they decide to carry three catchers. i haven't kept up wit Osuna's innings since he joined us, but I can assure you his number of good innings equals or exceeds Stassi's number of hits.. I made that as simple as possible since you have a habit of saying simple concepts confuse you. I tried to explain it so that you can understand. |

That's probly how long it'll be for Osuna with fans in his cornerOsuna has been as consistent as anyone else Hinch has used as a closer and a LOT more successful than the nut job we gave up to get him. I agree with you that the closer is somewhat over-rated. There are no Mariano Rivera's or Trevor Hoffman's in the game at the present time. All of them will slump at times and none are automatic as the Dodgers found out with Jansen in the WS. |

In Tyler's final year in college, he hit for a 1.084 OPS, AVG in the .360s, with 16 HRs.
What's crazy is that his MLB numbers now are not much lower than his numbers from Western Carolina.
It's interesting to compare his batting style from his rookie debut year (2016) to what he's doing today. Here's a video somebody did when Tyler first came up to the bigs.

I didn't read all your comments about the wifebeater, but, as for Stassi, yes Maldonado has certainly been quite good for several games after being brutally horrible at first. At this rate they may carry three catchers like they did last year if McCann comes back okay. Doesn't change the fact that Stassi is the future catcher for this team (as he is still having the far far superior season out of the two). And comparing reliever innings to part-time catcher hits is the weirdest debate point ever? I don't know how to respond to that. Stassi has a longer beard than Osuna's eyelashes? Take that! |

A minor leaguer catcher with no MLB experience is not going to surpass Stassi in his first year unless Stassi gets hurt. If Stubbs is far superior to Stassi by the all-star break, then yeah maybe he'll get more playing time. Too soon to tell. The playoff roster will depend on how their performing at the end of the year and how the rest of the team is doing. I'm sure they'll also follow matchups and how the pitchers feel with certain catchers. |

White has gotten exactly 1/3rd the amount of plate appearances as Gattis this year. If you projected White's numbers to the same, here is how they would compare (just a projection, don't get butthurt non-stat people):
Gattis:
24 HR 71 RBI 47 Runs 85 Hits 17 Doubles 0 Triples 1 SB .232/.289/.475 (109 OPS+) .8 WAR
White:
30 HR 75 RBI 51 Runs 111 Hits 15 Doubles 6 Triples 0 SB .311/.393/.639 (182 OPS+) 4.2 WAR
The big thing is the difference in OBP and overall Hits. And keep in mind, Gattis has played in 20 less games than guys like Bregman too.

With the way Yuli has tanked, Gattis should get DH at bats with White playing first base. |

With the way Yuli has tanked, Gattis should get DH at bats with White playing first base. The scary thing is Yuli is the better hitter of the two...I trust him way more than Gattis...Gattis is extremely streaky.....when he is on, man is it great, because crushes the ball...but next thing you know it is a solid month or two of bunny hop strikeouts (I forget who here coined that phrase). |

The bunny hop strikeout is an accurate description. Yuli is much better than he has shown since the break. Having him, Correa, and Springer all under-achieving is a big problem.
