    Yep. Just keeping every team under 3 runs all season should do the trick.

    I also think Paredes looked promising in his AB's

    Paredes lead the league in pitches per plate appearance last season and has consistently been pretty high on the list. I'm surprised people don't talk about it more. His profile makes him a perfect replacement of Bregman other than his defense.

    Paredes also leads the league in dragging his ample ass around the bases

    That would be a good stat, right?

    From The Athletic by Chandler Rome

    Paredes saw 65 pitches across the 12 plate appearances he took against the Mets. He collected just one hit in the series — a single in Friday’s loss — but provided plate appearances that can be contagious for a lineup trying to reverse its tendencies.

    “He saw more pitches than what I did in half of last season,” utilityman Mauricio Dubón joked after Saturday’s series-clinching win. “Me and Peña were talking about it, he makes the pitcher work and it helps us a lot. That’s who he is.”

    “He’s a guy that can put 40 (home runs) in the (Crawford) Boxes, but at the same time he can take his walks. We’re grinding at-bats. We’re seeing pitches. I don’t know how many pitches I saw today, but I saw a career high probably.”

    I think it was a changeup if it makes you feel any better

    Very Good (4.01 p/pa). Paredes is better (4.30). Both guys are the best on the current team at seeing pitches.

    I think you are confusing him with singleton. He was really high all the time.
    Hey Ohhhh.

    90mph changeup when your FB is 94 isn't much of a changeup

    This team is pretty boring huh. Cam Smith excitement already died down.
