    Never been a Bregman enthusiast. I get that he's "home grown" but he seems to come up short alot in scoring moments over the last year or so . I'm sure the analytics says the opposite so I'll fall back on my doubts for him.. IMO he's a bit overrated ..

    he hasn't really been the same since the scandal and juiced balls are gone.

    or maybe mlb will bring in juiced balls midway through the season and he'll be good again.

    He had a 1.002 OPS with RISP and he was awesome in the playoffs, so yes facts state the opposite of your doubts.

    Absolute dog s**t to start every season for some reason.

    You are wrong. Check back at the end of the year. He has one of the best eyes in the majors. Once he gets locked in, get back to us

    Boy MLB network is completely confused when they had a split screen and ATT was showing the BP reaction to the Alvarez walk off HR against Seattle. They then came back and said oh it was a replay of the WS winner yet Pressly was not in the BP he was on the mound lol

    Can someone remind Abreu he doesn't play for the White Sox anymore and he doesn't have to help them?

    Does Blanco bat lefthanded? He's like the exact opposite of Chas with all those beautiful sliders.

    I think he baffled that his close friends have analytical data on him and using it perfectly.. Might strain some relationships over there lol

    What I've never seen is Alejandro pass on a walk. That's his trademark, 4 fingers out.
