Some notes from Farhan Zaidi on KNBR earlier this week:
-Zaidi said that Heliot Ramos is “definitely on the radar” and “working his way into the picture.”
-said that Mason Black will be considered for the open rotation spot
This game had it all:
Mittfuckery -- Chap, Murphy
Moundshattery -- Hicks
Batdouchery -- Soler, Chap, Yaz
A true team effort. And bonus! Bailey is concussed!
phuking hell.
You'd have to know his day to day development at Sac and talk to the pitching coaches. Perhaps he's been working on a grip, mechanics, etc. and they want to see him repeat it before promotion. this assumption that they are idiots gets old.
Not saying thats your assumption.
Except that Ahmed is playing elite D. Any hitting is a bonus from him.
/checks Baseball Reference page.
Dude is a phuking TRAIN WRECK at the plate. You're probably right, an OPS+ of 65 can't be sustained, even in the 9 hole.

I weep for Soler and Chappy vs. Nola.
Not if you watch the ABs...Lee made solid, loud contact all series. Soler hit the ball hard yesterday but has been K'ing a lot....Forto hasn't even been making hard contact.
Speaking of league average, here's what the average MLB hitter has done this year:
.239 AVG
.313 OBP
.383 SLG
So ... before being disgusted by someone's .230-something batting average, just know that that's normal in 2024.
I will accept this game.
Harry not sharp but hung on for five and dive.
Miller looks like he might be a legit piece. With Doval, Tyler, Taylor, Walker, Jackson...thats 6/8 of a bullpen.
Lee hit into some bad luck. Soler still strrrrruuuuuggllling.
Forto slumping now
Chappy didn't K!!
Yazbombs...

I guess if Harry pitches well I'll be satisfied but this offense SUCKS. I'm losing hope for Soler, Chap, Yaz...
