Yes Hinch, make Peacock bail out your stupid decision. Because Harris and his 16 of 26 save conversions with his time with us didn't tell you he wasn't closer material.
This season feels so much like deja vu of last year. Great pitching to start the year, mediocre streaky offense, and now we have the shit base running. We're winning it all again boys.
Well, I'm at least encouraged it seems George is seeing the ball again. He would have struck out on those sliders a week ago. Just missed walking it off there.
I don't understand why he didn't just get the easy out at first. Oh well, Bregman tries risky shit and it pays off a lot of the time, can't be too mad.
I mean, we did start 6 guy hitting under .200. I haven't seen so many guys slumping at once in a good while from this team. Some poor team is gonna pay the price when they break out.
He's got more raw talent than most of the others to come over. Will be interesting to see if he can have consistency at this level. So far he has started off hot.
Springer is streaky. He and Marwin haven't really gotten hot yet. That's the beautiful thing about our lineup though, it's so potent a few guys slumping never really hurts us. Somebody else is always hot. I'm not the least bit worried about our offense, I think most of them showed they can hit even the best pitching when it matters. That is just so rare. Reddick and Marwin were really the only two big time producers in our lineup who got somewhat shut down in the postseason. And even they had their big moments. I also feel like both of them faced so many dominant lefties in the playoffs it isn't really fair to hold it against them. They are here to mash right handed pitching and balance our lineup.
Maybe hot garbage is a little harsh, but I've been drinking the stuff since it was $20-25 bucks and always on the shelf. Now it's $30+ almost everywhere and declining in quality IMO. Just about everybody I talk bourbon with has had a similar experience. Granted, I haven't touched the stuff in over 6 months. Maybe it was just a quality control issue and localized with the batch that showed up here. I don't know.
