Zach Morgan won’t be activated, will end up getting two stints in big leagues and a taxi squad week without getting in a game. Pretty brutal. Giants used record-tying 71 players, but somehow didn’t get an at-bat for a homegrown guy from Stockton.
@MWalk66 I really don’t think there are many. I don’t remember people sending in for damage replacements then like they do now. I had never seen another one until you posted this
@RoyceIsaacs What’s insane is this wasn’t even a uniform violation. Eddings had absolutely no ground to stand on. Sonny Gray wears his cap more crooked than this and Eddings has never called him out on it
@RetroCardSnaps 84 Fleer. The Topps set has definitely become more iconic. But as an 80’s kid who dreamed of owning a set of 84 Update, tough for me to pick against it
Some people took issue with me calling Bailey’s performance at the plate thus far unlucky. It’s an 89 plate appearance sample size, entirely minute.
Nothing in the underlying data suggests that he’s any different a hitter than he’s been his entire career. Which is still well below average (70-80 wRC+), but plenty good enough to keep the profile afloat given the otherworldly defensive skills.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to call him the most talented defender of all time.
@rodbrooksTV Them KNBR streets were NOT a safe place for Wendell Kim lmao I can still hear Ralph screaming about him at 9:45 on a Tuesday night in June
