Already up 4-0 after a Matt Chapman EWS...dude is having a really good year after a slow start with the bat. Very important piece for us to compete next year. Already over 5 WAR so far this year, arguably our best position player.

Webb acing like the ace he is

If there was a time for Conforto to strike out, that was it.

 

[Stokes1931]

Encarnacion hitting like he wants to stay and play.

And Fitz with another bomb, number 12 on the year.

If Fitz is the real deal we got a lot of guys set for next year...imagine him if he had played like this since April

Man, that 13 pitch walk really wrecked Spyder. Still a decent effort and thanks to Walker, only one run allowed that inning.

Ok here is the scary part.

Couple of filthy sliders from Doval for a K, 1 out

3 strikeouts in a row ok for ya?

FYWW!

 

[msgkings322]

This is the crappy part of the schedule, glad they are taking advantage,.

Back to .500

Weird game. Spider looked great until he didn't. Early offense and then massive batdouchery, especially Forto, Chappy and Schmitt. Taylor was shaky. Doval looked great though.

Lots of ways to win them, I guess.

It's been two months...mediocrity feels nice.

Patrick Bailey (3.7 fWAR) and Matt Chapman (3.6 fWAR) are 6th and 9th, respectively, in the NL in fWAR among position players.

 

[sf1giantfan]

I’m surprised Bailey is up there and ahead of Chapman

Lot of defensive value at the catcher position.
