So many meh matchups Did Atlanta rush Acuña back or something? Seems like he is sitting every game right now
Maybe. I think they want him to run in consecutive days without soreness. If he doesn’t start tomorrow, I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t go on the 10 day IL
Royals tie it up against Chicago in bottom 8th. Finally found a little offense against Graveman of all people.
Seems to be all about defense and homers. Maybe the current offensive environment hurts him more but he's definitely not close to the 18-19 dude
only 4 teams with winning records against teams over .500 Mets 9-4 Dodgers 8-3 Astros 10-8 Yankees 9-4 Cardinals are 9-9 Padres 5-5 Angels 7-7
Bregman, Bellinger, Yelich, Chapman all probably looked a lot better than they are because of that hot ball back then
Of course not, but last year he was either 1st or 2nd in the NL in HRs and RBIs and a lot of that was because of the ball
What are you getting at dbl? Atl listed 4 guys who likely had inflated numbers because of the hot ball and I’m suggesting Duvall did something similar last year
Those guys were MVP caliber players. They didn't have one year where they hit a lot of HR's while doing nothing else. Idk why those guys have fallen off but I don't think it's the ball bc everyone is playing with the same balls so it's all relevant. Were their HR totals inflated? Probably, everyone's were. But they weren't top 10 players bc of the ball. They've fallen off the last few years, not just a one year spike and back to average again. I think Duvall just had a career year last year. I don't think the 2021 ball was super juiced compared to the last 5 years. His numbers were coming back to earth, ball change or not.
Idk what the punishment should be, but *only* 60 games for distributing opioids which lead to a players death seems like not enough.
bauer fucking sucks but that probably strengthens his case to get out of his massive suspension earlier
Extremely irresponsible to say this, oxy provided by Kay to Skaggs killed him and it was provided to Harvey but he didn't take it after hearing what happened. He was given full immunity to discuss Percocet usage in the clubhouse to help the investigation.
McClanahan is so good Having to buy weed after work and missing a few innings as a result. Legal state problems
It isn’t always smart to bet on yourself. But he is probably earning himself an additional 50-100 million this year
