Because Dusty can. And right now if I needed a baserunner and could chose Bregman or Pena to bat, I would choose Alex.
He's swinging at good pitches which is what is promising to me. His walk rate is 3 times higher than the first 2 months of the season while his strikeout rate has pretty much stayed the same.
"Worse than complete dogsh!t" Bregman has been on base 10 times in the past 7 games, 14 times in the past 8. He has been in a slump but I think you are exaggerating a bit.
If Breggy is worse than complete dogsh!t for the last week, what the heck is the 0.000 / 0.063 / 0.000 slash line Maldy put up?
Bregman last 7 games: .120 .290 .160 .450 Go look up his numbers with runners on... What would you call that?
I mean...that's a given Maldy is worst than dogsht. Bregman has better expectation than what he's put up the last couple weeks.
Which one is hitting at the top of the order in a run producing position? We all know about Maldy, what the **** are you going to do? Go break his leg like the figure skater?
I asked others earlier today... Is the Kangaroo Court in the clubhouse still a thing? Like: you're fined 1K for doing some some idiotic ****....? It all goes into the pot and at the end of the season it's all spent on a team dinner?
