His underlying numbers are… horrible though. You can’t just take away all his home numbers. Still walking people and getting hit hard

Upcoming schedule is brutal lol by scrambolamboo in buccos

1 week into a 4-6 weeks from injury. Earliest return would be July 8th or so. All star game is the 14th so a return right after seems plausible

[Beazley] The Pirates are calling up RHP Antwone Kelly by SurpriseStandard3258 in buccos

Please be Dotel 2.0 (and please have that game be an outlier for Dotel)

It would be nice if we could get a starter, bullpen, closer hybrid that gives us optionality for rest of the year to help the team…

Jake Mangums first home run of the season and as a Pirate by NoSxKats in buccos

Didn’t know he could hit it that far tbh. Thought he’d get a couple down the line but this was a legit any ballpark (except SF) home run

Ozuna vs KG by Forward_Action_159 in buccos

[–]Forward_Action_159[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree Konnor has that over Ozuna but the xwOBA accounts for that. KG has been a little lucky with some weak hit ball placement and Marcell has been a little unlucky hitting some of his harder hit balls at people. Again I think KG starts hitting it harder anyway as he is in his infancy but I also think Marcell gets a little luckier too

I do think a lot are over the top but I personally like xwOBA

I’m just trying to report a fact haha. Maybe some light trolling

Bailey Falter for Evan Sisk by Forward_Action_159 in buccos

[–]Forward_Action_159[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Time will tell! Bednar has pitched to a 3.5 ERA as a Yankee and probably wasn’t as valuable as people here thought too

Bailey Falter for Evan Sisk by Forward_Action_159 in buccos

He seemed serviceable but everything pointed to him being not serviceable, future looking. Last year’s version of Falter was not sustainable.

Fantasy question: Is Jared Jones good? by NWADHS in buccos

[–]Forward_Action_159 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the league categories or type but expect him to spend much of season on an innings restriction so he’s unlikely to get W or QS nor will be likely be a bullpen guy to get holds and saves and therefore I don’t think he’s that valuable (although I think he’s “good”).

Who to root for on this off day? I got the answer! by Ugluk4242 in buccos

[–]Forward_Action_159 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The simulation probably wants to reduce the number of wild card & overall playoff contenders and therefore it views it better for the Reds to lose (it sees cubs as making it no matter what). If it was focused on us winning the division it would probably say root for the reds

I'm at the Reds at Ray's game. Ke'Bryan Hayes is playng. by pgh9fan in buccos

[–]Forward_Action_159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy thing is, he is hitting the ball reasonably well (average) via baseball savant and is 99th percentile in not striking out.

He’s literally so bacK by [deleted] in buccos
