Hoskins has really good plate discipline for such a young power hitter.

Hoskins has really good plate discipline for such a young power hitter.

Yup, he is walking nearly 18% of the time and he isn't striking out much more than that. Think he will be a lesser version of Votto from the right side.

Darvish doesn't even go 6.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Guess what, Red Sox going to extra innings again...

Pirates losing again. They've been putrid since the Hurdle extension.

Olson homers for the 5th straight game.

Seems like yesterday he was one of three A's to hit their first MLB HR in the same game (June 24 against the White Sox).

To put his 15 HR's in perspective, the other two A's that hit HR #1 on 6/24 (Barreto and Brugman) have combined for 5 HR's since that game.

One guy- 5 HR's, 5 games

The other guys- 5 HR's combined in almost 3 months

Close game late? Better bring in Baez. Triple, hit batter..no outs.

 

[JWK]

Olson has 19 since being called up August 11, most in baseball.

A's calling up a talented young player and actually play him? I'm jealous, only time I see Ryan McMahon is him sitting at the top step of a dug out with Tauchman while they watch Desmond hit ground balls after ground balls.

Can the Brwers and Cardinals stop winning? Please?

Rockies, Brewers, or Diamondbacks- which team is most prone to regression in 2018?

Red Sox stop playing extra inning.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Pedro Baez enhances his status as the most hated middle reliever by his fanbase in baseball. Dodgers about to lose 2 against PHI with Kershaw and Darvish pitching...

Rockies, Brewers, or Diamondbacks- which team is most prone to regression in 2018?

Can I at least see what they do in the off-season?

I think Arizona is the best bet to repeat this type of the year of the 3.

 

[kingsholygrail]

This is why Dodger fans boo Baez before he even makes a pitch.

 

[Jack Straw]

Two great ABs by Hoskins this game. The kid looks like something special.

Phillies playing themselves out of the #1 pick in the MLB Draft

I'd rather have Hoskins than the #1 pick.

 

[Halladay]

Good news for Baez is he wont be facing any hitters as good as Hoskins in the playoffs .

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Seriously, how did no one want Jed Lowrie.

He's a top-5 2b this year.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Lowrie

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Khris Davis channeling his inner Trumbo. Jumped and completely whiffed on a ball that hit the base of the wall.

 

[Halladay]

Altherr is pretty good too.

 

[JWK]

Rockies, Brewers, or Diamondbacks- which team is most prone to regression in 2018?

Rockies

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Rockies

Either them or Brewers.

Hopefully Black starts playing your youth one day soon.

Neither Brugman or Barreto are hr hitters. Barreto may be a 20 hr hitter, but he'll likely be a double/triple guy.

Both have also been in the minors most of the time since then.

Good news for Baez is he wont be facing any hitters as good as Hoskins in the playoffs .

He won't be on the Dodgers 25 man playoff roster at this rate.

 

[Terry Yake]

yeah that still shocks me. he could have been a very valuable asset to a contender down the stretch with the season he's having

 

[darko]

Was genuinely surprised Nolan Ryan wasn't on the list.

He did it 3 seasons in a row .... twice.
