Also I still don't understand how Bellinger is hitting this many HRs given his batting stance and swing.

Bellinger's swing is long and he's always been a TTO kind of guy with big power. I don't think he will maintain a 30%+ HR/FB rate but otherwise this is who he is. His super upright stance is real weird looking though.

Yeah, the swing is violent as hell, but his stance is so upright and it looks like he has no stride whatsoever. I just don't understand how he hits the ball so hard with seemingly no momentum. EDIT: And he's gone and done it again. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jun 15, 2017 |

all-Rush mixtape posted:N: The Astros drafted Trei Cruz in the 35th round. Man, I remember Jose Cruz Jr.'s rookie debut. Can't believe he has a kid old enough to be drafted. When your favorite team trades away your star player for a couple of no name rookies in one of the most universally panned trades of all time and the other local team goes on a near perfect playoff run to win the championship, I think you'd be a little bitter too.

Sydin posted:I assume it's the explosive hip rotation? It's aaaaaaaaaaaaall in the hips. No but really look at guys like Rizzo and Granderson they have almost no stride and can generate a ton of power (Rizzo especially). I'll still never understand how guys can hit from a straight up standing position though, it makes your swing look really violent cause it requires a bunch of movement to get into position.

I assume this is Matt Duffy, who really still hasn't recovered from the Giants grinding him into a fine paste in 2015. The problems of the Giants are beyond the scope of what Matt Duffy could fix, unless he could make them take walks, or stop putting the ball on the ground, or DFA the outfield.

Lol Tyler Thornburg going down for thoracic outlet surgery Reminder that the Red Sox traded a 3B who is OPSing about .880 for this, utter jack poo poo. Let this be just one more warning for every fan of every team: never trade for relievers not named Kimbrel or Miller.

Aw man, now I'm suddenly reminded that Launch Ballman is a piece of poo poo and came out against the Equal Rights OrdinanceLunch Bigman posted:To me tolerance is the virtue that’s killing this country. We’re tolerant of everything. You know, everything is okay, and as long as you want to do it and as long as it feels good to you then it’s perfectly acceptable do it. Those are the kinds of things that lead you down a slippery slope, and you’ll get in trouble in a hurry. Dammit

N: https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/875440743317458945 V: There's only one loving baseball team in New York City and they play in the loving Bronx. Tom Gorman posted:Aw man, now I'm suddenly reminded that Launch Ballman is a piece of poo poo and came out against the Equal Rights Ordinance Berkman elaborated on that quote to Craig Calcaterra and it's not quite as bad as it seems at first blush. Calcaterra's summary of Berkman is that he's not trying to be mean or vindictive, but that he's entirely naive about the effects of the stance he's taken/the groups he associates with. I mean, "Christian Day" is dumb as gently caress and gently caress The Cards regardless.

NiceGuy posted:Lol Tyler Thornburg going down for thoracic outlet surgery On the other hand Travis Shaw July 15-Oct 1 2016: 194/259/360. If he's managed to put it all together good for him, but I'm never going to be all that stressed about trading away Shaw (it helps that Rafael Devers exists). The rest of the prospects are a different story since that was a bunch of chips for a middle reliever.
