May not last but it’s weird when you see players struggle in the minors look like busts and then play better in the majors

I’ve heard some players who look like they’re struggling in the minors numbers wise are better in the pros because in the minors a team might tell them to work on a specific aspect of a swing for awhile even if it means struggling

Verlander throws a no hitter and is 1A in discussion of this years Cy Young, but he’s washed

He still touches 98 on his fastball, he talked with Nolan who told him to dial it back a little and his next start he threw that no no.

Let’s see if he lets loose whenever game 1 starts next month.

Lester might be washed , must win games and he gives up 4 runs in the 1st to the pirates

Castellanos,Hoerner and Contreras brought them back

I seen a article the other day about Castellanos being unlucky at the plate. Eventually those hits will come. Cubs are benefiting from it.
He had a 35% hard hit rate.

this post confusing you saying castellanos been unlucky at the plate?

I don't like their chances without baez to be honest , he may return in october but they may not be playing by then.Baez provides too much value(top 10 in mlb in drs,led the cubs in rbi's,2nd in homers,his energy etc) & he's out during a critical stretch

I can’t find that post on Twitter. But he’s been unlucky with balls in play with his hard hit rate. He’s been raking for the Cubs(which you know).

Could the A's be a sleeper pick to make it to the World Series?

All it takes is for a team to get hot at the right moment. I say it all the time. MLB playoffs is a crap shoot.

A's been a sleeper team the past 17 years

Just saw Nolan Arenado on MLB Network. He has a great personality. Would probably be a huge star if he was on a regular contender or better market.
