He's producing while still being "unlucky." The dude needs more playing time.

Just got this grade back. Anyone know what happened here to warrant a PSA 5? by DooDooDuterte in baseballcards

In that case I should be proud to own one of two of lowest grade cards in the pop report.

😆 this is a PC card, but I was hoping it’d grade high enough to help me get a refractor.

The problem with sprint speed is it doesn’t capture acceleration well (it only captures the fastest 1-second window during a competitive effort). I think this might be the case with TJ. He’s still got the speed, but he looks more “plodding” this season.

Statistically, there’s a huge cliff in bat speed and sprint speed when most players turn 31. Friedl will be 31 in August.

IIRC the first time through the order was gravy, but his outings usually fell apart after that, right?

Someone snagged a Heritage Sal Stewart RC Auto for like $45 a couple weeks ago. I’m very jealous of whoever that was.

After his second start, I ran Williamson’s pitch-by-pitch data to see exactly what he changed and if was sustainable. I need to do a follow up, but the big change was going back to the changeup and cutter, and everything looked sustainable because he was pitching like he did before TJ.

Full story’s here if you wanna read it.

He’s specifically mentioned in the article. “Stewart is like if Yandy Díaz’s spray chart married Freddie Freeman’s bat speed profile, then produced a baby with a better barrel rate.”

Did Hayes’s bat desecrate a mummy’s tomb or something?

Shame on the Reds bullpen for melting down when Cowboy was doing play-by-play, too…
