Mind you we're winning the games but pitchers are rolling along and then in 3 or 4 batters it just falls apart. Like I said we're winning the games any way but it seems like its happening every game. Happ wasn't just pitching well. He was absolutely dominating.
Hamilton is easily the worst hitter in baseball and has been his entire career. Right now his OPS is .588. and wRC+ is 60. He is nearly an automatic out with zero power. The only reason his WAR isn't negative is because his defense is very good. But it is not Andruw Jones HOF good. He has never won a gold glove and UZR has him defensively behind CFers like Lorenzo Cain, Ender Inciarte and Jackie Bradley Jr.
He shouldn't be starting or getting regular abs in any lineup.
The haters have a abated for now...
Nice tack on run there from Gardy and Gio.
3-3
damnit.

You jinxed him
Is it okay to 'hate' Happ again? Heh.

I knew I couldn't stop you, Dave. It was only a matter of time before he regressed anyway. It might as well be in this start.
But 6 innings of 3 run ball is a quality start... for how useless that stat is.

I'm just joshin' with you, brother. :)
Yep. Hell, the team itself keeps on keepin' on. Incredible.
Boone was told Paxton felt no additional pain today after his turn yesterday, which is decent news.
At this point it is pretty clear he has taken Wade's spot on the team.
Luke's bomb was 479 feet. Damn he is a beast.

Good news.

Luke to Gary- "Hold my beer"
He seems like potentially a top 5-10 1B. Never an all star, but a good player. If he could become a good fielder, he'd add tremendously to his upside.

that this is what Voit is going to be going forward and that he's not a flash in the pan? And "that" is a good, solid, consistent player.

I may be selling him a bit short here actually. I didn't realize his OPS+ is 130. That's Tex level.
Big power from Luke to win the game in the 7th, and insurance RBI from Thairo Estrada in the 8th
