@MillsTwitch Only being two games out of a playoff spot is crazy given how hopeless this team looked at times in the first half. But we’re playing our best baseball right now, team is healthy, Boston and Houston are winnable series after the break!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; Mikel Merino just is not a midfielder. Top level striker’s instincts, incredible off the ball movement, very decent finisher too.
Imagine being Ronaldo right now. Sat on a plane back to Portugal, watching Messi inspire a 3-2 World Cup win from 2-0 down, after Mikel Merino has just sent you into retirement.
@MillsTwitch@NavyFB Should make them a fun “rebuild” team too. Strong offensive foundation in year one, but they’re all seniors. And Woodson, Lisorti and Bryant aren’t as OP (for the American) as Horvath, Tecza and Heindereich.
Coby Mayo's splits are wild.
Mayo's 238 tOPS+ vs. LHP is the highest in MLB among batters with at least 30 plate appearances.
That means he's been 138% better vs. LHP compared with his overall OPS.
Mayo's tOPS+ vs. RHP is 45. That means he's 193% better vs. LHP than RHP.
