LOL I now realize why you asked @DreamShook Hopefully the trend continues as Verlander pitches Monday.
I've completely misunderstood what a "runner's build" means all these years. Also, it'd be nice if your Twins could help out right here.
Someone needs to tell McCullers the worst starter during the season goes to the bullpen in the playoffs. The way he hates coming out of the pen... he might make a run at the Cy Young.
Tony Kemp 24 ABs, 8 RBIs, 9 hits, 3 walks, 2 stolen bases, 10% strikeout percentage Derek Fisher 74 ABs, 11 RBIs, 13 hits, 5 walks, 2 stolen bases, 46% strikeout percentage Jakes Marisnick 90 ABS, 11 RBIs, 15 hits, 1 walk, 2 stolen bases, 46% strikeout percentage
Kemp has been a big upgrade. Gattis, Jose and Correa are all heating up. Marwin sold half his 2018 Hits and used them last year. Until yesterday, the pitching hadn't surrendered 8 Runs since April 27th.
"I was real immature and let my emotions get the best of me," the 24-year-old McCullers said. "I showed my frustration and Altuve was letting me know that we're beyond that. I'm not 21 anymore. I've been around for enough — this is my fourth season with this team — and I know how hard they work and I know how hard they try." Asked about the conversation, Altuve declined to give specifics. "It wasn't anything, just talking," Altuve said. "We talk a lot with teammates and we communicate. That's what makes us so good, we have good relationships with good chemistry and good relationships between us." Manager A.J. Hinch said he did not address the incident, one that was "handled internally." McCullers said he addressed the entire team and apologized. "I feel really bad about letting my emotions get the best of me and I spoke to them, I apologized and it won't happen again," McCullers said. "(Altuve) was just letting me know that, if I'm going to pitch with emotion like I do, which is great, that's part of what makes me good, channel it for the right things." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/sp...Strikes-Lance-McCullers-emotions-12947000.php Sounds good to me. I love this team.
STASSI!!!! HE has been on fire this year, a very pleasant surprise. Could be our solution at catcher long-term. Definitely a keeper!
