Hey, lets get some runs with these free runners

Ozuna needs to be 3rd
Murphy needs to be 5

Hey, lets get some runs with these free runners

That's asking way too much

Ball game.

Got what I needed out of this one and Nats/Tigers. 12 more outs to glory.

6

Murphy’s had a .740 xBA
Duvall’s fly out had a .750 xBA

They are absolutely snakebit.

I told someone this the other day.

I do believe MLB messed with the baseballs again.

I also believe with the way we are built, it hurts no lineup more than it hurts us.

Doesn’t help when the pitcher gets strike one three inches off the plate and outside.

There’s definitely something up. Duvall’s EV was just under 107 and the ball only went 368.

Meanwhile, here's what Baeball Savant says about an EV of 106 with a launch of 35. I don't care if the wind knocks 10 feet off the ball, that's still a ridiculous result.

Playing Duvall everyday needs to stop. He can't hit. Accidently running into a HR once a week doesn't cut it

He’s still the least of our issues

Definitely favors a team that can play small ball. Do we even have anybody that can get down a bunt?

Dammit.

A guy hitting .176 and playing everyday is a big issue.

LoL. Brace yourself. Bunting is taboo around here.

Hasn't Chestnut won the Nathan's Hot Dog contest at least 4x or 5x in a row?

8 years in a row and 16 of the last 17.

I know nothing about the economics of competitive eating, but it seems like a dumb move for them to insist on an exclusivity agreement with their only publicly recognizable figure.

It's not even about bunting.

Top to bottom I think we have the most power in the league. We don't really have OBP guys, when balls are flying 20 feet shorter it's a problem.

Top of the 1st sums up how things have been going the last 25 games

Harris with the leadoff triple and nobody chases him home.

Nobody should be off limits

Focusing on a positive, that was great work there by Johnson. You’d like to feel that was a major momentum boost, but the way the bats are struggling…..

Bunts are like asbestos. They’ll still sometimes get the job done but we’ve figured out that they’re bad overall.
