Does the "still young" excuse still work for Doval? But we still got the W!

Walker, bullpen ranger.

I did glance at team OPS each of the last 8 years, plus this year. Unless this team really heats up, they'll be the worst hitting of the bunch, except for the 2019 squad. 2015 - .647 2016 - .693 2017 - .690 2018 - .680 2019 - .627 2021 - .722 2022 - .712 2023 - .708 2024 - .632

I'm thinking more along the lines of measuring success by OPS. Setting the threshold somewhat arbitrarily at .800 (and a minimum 100 ABs prior to 2024): 2024 (thus far): Christian Koss - 2.075 (3 games and currently injured) Damon Dues - .913 2023 Meckler - .881 Matos - .842 2022 Schmitt -...

Winn says "you're welcome".

Talk about a guy who wants to uphold tradition. Must be the reason he signed with the Giants.

Or we are watching history in the making.

Maybe it was just the quality of hitters for a couple of years but it seemed that more guys in Richmond were, you know, actually hitting.

Richmond seems to be reverting to a hitters' graveyard again.

Sounds like the perfect storm for a Giants' sweep. Let's hope it is the Giants who do the sweeping.

Still haven't heard who is getting sent down to give White a roster spot (why did the Giants need to pick him up again?).

It is pretty standard for guys like this to start their pro career in rookie ball, even if it is the subsequent year to being draftdd

This is just so surprising to many of us. I know I was expecting some prime Arenado production myself.

Which is why he does not post often

He’s got time with all the GDTs he leaves early when the pitcher gets poopy on the mound

If he takes more than one spot, then either he is super human or the team is in really bad shape.

Under FZ? No.

That is really aggressive, especially since they didn't want him starting the season with any team. It is also odd considering how much they've kid gloved him up to now.

Only two times someone besides the regular five (Cain, Bumgarner, Vogelsong, Zito and Lincecum) didn't start was April 27th and Sept 23rd. And before tzill responds, yes, I realize that this was an anomaly. Point still stands, it can still happen, just slightly higher than the never level.

I generally agree but have found sharing what little I have to be harmless. It is whatever you are comfortable doing. This is a pretty tight knit group who’ve posted together for many years. Hope you fit in well.

Which brings up a good question, assuming no one needs to go to the IL at that time, where does Cobb fit in the rotation when he is ready?

Did we get a new right fielder?

Hey @Brightboat , as I was welcoming a new member to this board, I realized that you haven't shared anything in our Introduce Yourself thread (that, and you still list yourself as an Angels' fan, which I'll probably give you a hard time about for awhile or until you change it, whichever comes...
