Posey is a donut so far this year.

.280 BA, but only a .750 OPS.

Andrew McCutchen:
13.7 BB% - .238 BABIP (.305 last year) - 48.5 % hard hit rate (career best) - 9.1 percent soft contact rate

The BABIP doesn’t surprise me. But the hard hit rate is surprising. It doesn’t feel like he making a lot of really good contact.

Gorkys really is thinking about potentially getting DFA'd....

 

[calsnowskier]

Oops


Lol

 

[LHG]

He hasn’t gotten into a groove yet.

But they showed his career numbers in April, and they pretty much match his production this year. He is a notorious slow starter.

Then shouldn't he just sit through the whole month of April? It works for Brandon Belt on his birthday.

 

[calsnowskier]

Doesn’t he need to scud a pitch here?

 

[calsnowskier]

This is a long AB. What’s the record for most pitches in an AB?

If they are hitting Hundley instead of Mac, that means he isn’t avail tonight...

No, it just means Hundley is a stud. He hits clean up when he starts.

This is true.

And Mac is a lowly 7 hitter...

Held by some dude you wanted to be unemployed a couple of weeks ago.

 

[calsnowskier]

+2 for cushion...

The Giants once traded for 1-armed cancer survivor.

Jackson needs an ''injury"

 

[LHG]

Shouldn't Austin Jackson be the guy concerned about the DFA?

 

[calsnowskier]

Don’t even say that, Jon. That hurts to think about it...

I doubt it, but I would rather see him go than Gorkys or Blanco.
