Yeah that type of ABC baseball isn't going to cut it in this organization. This is exactly what we want. That 7th AB will be a dinger for sure
I’m personally looking forward to Snit starting Murphy every game despite him hitting below .200 and the press conference sound bites of “he’s got a ton of talent we are just waiting for something to click”
I thought part of what made Murphy excellent was his defense, which is why AA wanted him so bad. Does anybody know how his defense measured the last 2 years?
I don't think he's any where as near as good enough to make up for his horrendous bat. 14th in Framing. like 40th in CS above average per baseball savant. I'm sure there is some blocking stat, but idk Edit is blocking was top 5 so yay. His pop time was 31st in MLB. yay
we made the playoffs by the thinnest of margins last year. not saying we need to manage every game like game 7 but all these games are important and it’s moronic to punt on a week by playing a man down. some of the shit this franchise does is baffling
Remember the galaxy brain strategy that everyone praised right up until the last 3 weeks when the bootlickers in the media realized there was a real chance we might not even make the playoffs due to all the "grand strategy" losses? Good times.
I mean yea he needs to get healthy but we've heard all offseason that starting behind everyone else after his early injury last year is one of the main reasons for his bad year. Now he's gonna miss basically all of the most important time in spring training this year..................not great.
