The entire catchers torso isn’t even in the strike zone.

This has to be a league wide troll job where everyone tests Baez to see if there’s ANYTHING he won’t swing at.

Going to depend on these last 5 starts by Hunter starting tonight. They lean pitchers usually and he’s been damn good for a rookie. He will be even better now that his mentor is back on the roster. Jung is also hurt so there’s no telling what the Rangers will get after sitting for 6 weeks.

Javier Baez has an OPS+ of 60.

Sixty.

100 is average. He’s at fukking sixty.

I'm watching the game on tv. Pitcher threw a fastball up and away which javy missed.

Like clockwork threw a slider way out the strike zone and javy swung

Riley Greene just crushed a pitch 450 feet to right field.

Sad a 2nd year player has a better approach at the plate than a 10 year vet

We're stuck with Baez. Ain't nobody trading for him and that contract.

@Regular_P the rebuild is gonna take another 3 years. We can't wait for Baez to turn it on. He's 30 and should be leading the way. If he gave us 15 HR we might be a game back in this crappy division instead of 9 games.

I also forgot about Vierling. We gotta keep him cuz he just plays hard every day and can play anywhere on defense.

Miggy at 40 can still hit. He batting over 300 since mid July. Imma miss this guy

I'm not waiting on Baez. Personally, I would let him rot in Toledo. If they're gonna keep him with the team, I'd hit him 9th and pinch hit for him late in games.

@Regular_P

Whenever I watch his at-bats, I'm confused whenever pitchers throw him strikes. If I was a manager, I would tell my pitchers they are getting fined if every pitch isn't a slider low and away.
