    Chas going 0-4 but w/ that catch he had a bigger impact on the game than Bregman, Abreu, & Hensley combined.

    Remember yesterday when the ball just popped outta jakes glove on an easier play?

    Let Chas reclaim his rightful spot as the everyday CF. He hits better than meyers and he is the better defender.

    Let's go over this again. 7 losses by the bullpen this season.

    Last year we win 5 of those 7 games.

    That's 26-14.

    That's 105 wins, same as last season.

    So yeah fix the bullpen and a lot of your problems are solved, especially with Altuve back solidifying the lineup to some degree.

    Careful, “metric post” incoming. It is odd that just looking at Meyers he looks the part, taller stronger faster and more athletic but for some reason Chas just has the “better glove” and more consistent pop.

    Yea I know someone will cry that baseball savant says that jake gets a quarter second faster jump, but I see what I see. At this point it’s clear who the gamer is. McCormick should be the starter.

    If you think spreadsheets speak to you, you're delusional. They are non-speaking tools only useful in the hands of those who understand them.

    I’m not so sure Jake is the better athlete. Taller? Yes faster? Maybe but negligible difference. Stronger? Maybe but I think McCormick messes him up in a fight. I think Chas has more dog in him.

    it’s a philly thing

    I have been hyping memorial day but the season starts on Mother's Day. We are about to get on a roll. The schedule lightens.
