I’ve got a bad feeling he’s cooked. It’s been a constant stream of setbacks all season.

It’s a real shame, he seems like a solid and well-liked dude. Wonder if he could transition to coaching or something?

At least he got a ring. Didn't even just coast the bench the whole season for it, played for a couple months. Still wonder if he feels unsatisfied about not playing in the second half or the playoffs

change of scenery, improved health, maybe a change in his swing path?

his LD% is the highest it's been since his MVP year and his K% is down 12% from last year

also his BABIP is way over his career average

e: and by way over I mean his career number is .286 and this year it's .345

it was .196 in 2021 :stonk:

We have had no real power hitters besides Jorge Soler since Stanton/Yelich/Ozuna all got traded.

They signed Soler and Avisail Garcia to address the power issue, but Garcia has either been hurt or terrible since signing that deal and Soler was bad last year.

For anyone who did not watch Guardians-Rays: Guardians tied an 8-5 game on 3 walks, a HBP, and 3 wild pitches. They then immediately gave up a bottom of the 9th dinger to Franco on three pitches.

That and one game, which the Hall specifically says you're not supposed to vote people in over one game but :shrug:

e: also I guess he didn't technically get voted in

who was that super crusty old guy who was a massive Morris stan and also hated Blyleven? He had a website of his baseball rantings that looked like it was made in the mid 90s

Basically all the worst HoF inductions came from the committees over the years. Those committees also rectified some very dumb misses by the writers (Ron Santo) but their overall track record is bad.

Chris Sale is back. And he's good again.

*Scissors cutting through thick fabric noise*

E: I couldn't watch, just looking at his stat line. How did he get 2 ER with 1 hit and zero walks? Strike out on a wild pitch?
