IKF is a rally killer

And a lot of folks would say our best three pitching prospects are a good bit better than any of these guys pitching up here now.

That’s a good point

Diamondbacks are already down 4-0 in the third.

Trevor Story showing the Rangers that he likes hitting here.

They were saying on the radio broadcast early in the game that Baseball Savant has a stat that shows the number of HR lost by each batter. They base it on how the ball was hit in relation to if it would have been a HR in most parks. It measures how many the hitter missed out on due to playing in the wrong park at the time. The leader is lost homeruns is Trevor Story. He should have had 12 more HR. The next most is 7.

One could make the case he has had a very unlucky year. Of those 12 HRs he missed out on due to bad luck. Let’s add 8 of the 12 to his stat line. I think that’s fair.
goes from .246 16 hrs and sub .800 OPS
To .265 24 Hrs and an OPS over .800
Hopefully this down year can lead to a friendlier contract lol

The Diamondbacks have made it a one run game after 7 innings.

Proactive move before shutting Dunning down?

And bet he is not rostered until next year

Proactive move before shutting Dunning down?

I would think Arihara would be the first line of defense. I guess they just want someone in case of another Covid outbreak or other rash of injuries.

Heim back from the Covid list it seems
