[Mainge]

I'm impressed that's only 3rd worst
--------------------
Alvarez hung a cookie to Harper

[Bobbob1313]

I should've been more clear.

Rated out as third-worst per fangraphs. Not sure where the 11% figure ranks.

[Mainge]

Ah.

[BigGameFish]

Hech is really bad on bases, which is a shame because he has speed.

[Bobbob1313]

He's gotta be one of the worst baserunners in the league that can actually run.

[Madman81]

Wait, why was Alvarez out?

[Bobbob1313]

Don't have the sound on, but I'd guess the ball hit him as he came out of the box.

[BigGameFish]

First pitchers dual this season. Gio and Henderson have been working the strike zone beautifully.

[Madman81]

Don't have the sound on, but I'd guess the ball hit him as he came out of the box.

But that was deflected off the catcher. How is that any different than if the catcher had drilled him in the back with the throw to first (and he was in the runner's lane)?

[BigGameFish]

Our defense at second has been really ugly so far this season. I'm surprised Red hadn't gone with Solano
--------------------
Wow as I type that Baker drops the throw there... What the hell

[Madman81]

Range has been fucking brutal at second.

[AdamRavs]

I just don't get the whole Jones vs lefties. Solano at 2nd and Baker at 1st. Not that Solano is a gold glove at 2nd though

[Mainge]

No Yelich here?
--------------------
sweet
--------------------
aheah Dobbs

[Nick]

I hate Dobbs so freaking much.

[AdamRavs]

We pay Dobbs to do one thing. Make outs in pinch hitting situations
