I never thought I’d have to institute and enforce an “if you shove it down your pants, you bought it” policy for my after show t-shirt sales, but apparently every day really is a new adventure!
@DarrenTrain The rotation is solid, not spectacularly dominant. Would love to have one true lockdown Ace with these guys. None of them seems to be that. Imagine a rotation like this around Felix. Is Kade going to be an ace?
I didn’t see this in Canzone early in his time in Seattle, I thought last year was an aberration, but he’s just been solid. I don’t get why, at this point in the season, you would give any of his ABs to Refsnyder & think it puts you in a better position to win.
Dominic Canzone since June 9th, 2025
.295 AVG / .357 OBP / .504 SLG / .861 OPS
146 wRC+, 50.0 Hard-Hit%, 15.5 Barrel%
Minimum 400 PA, only Kurtz, Ohtani, Judge, Soto, Yandy, Rice, Schwarber, Langeliers, and Acuña Jr. have a higher wRC+ than Canzone.
@StoneLarry It was an unexpected turn of events after the early innings. Clutch, and much needed. Not sure where they might have gotten that additional inning from out of the pen tonight.
The tandem has really done a lot to help the team win over that stretch. Pereda has been fun to watch & Garver has had some big moments. Way to hold it down!
Since Cal Raleigh landed on the IL on May 14, Mitch Garver and Jhonny Pereda have combined for 5 homers and a .793 OPS in 23 games. Only three teams have had a higher OPS from the position in that stretch.
Anyone else catch the way Basallo pimped this fly to center like it was the most sure homer he’s ever seen? I definitely thought it was a game tying home run based on his reaction, my heart sank.
Julio caught the ball 3 feet or so in front of the warning track.
@ProspectInsider Now take off the leash and let him hit against lefties too. I’d be shocked if the results aren’t better than the production Refsnyder has had Paging for him.
@MissyPowel21975@timburchett “I guess” that the results that don’t track with my ridiculous and unfounded hypothesis, making it obvious that my argument makes no sense, are so hard to explain away that I’ll just say “I guess” in front of my dismissal of that inconvenient reality.
