Yea, obviously if you can acquire a guaranteed upgrade I’d say do it. However, bringing in a guy at a cheaper rate, hoping he can produce more than Eaton has, I mean he played like a WS MVP just months ago! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries aside, he's been very solid. Over 269 games with the Nats he's hit .288/.377/.425 for an .802 OPS and 104 OPS+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess that Rizzo aims to keep him next season rather than make any knee jerk moves based on this season alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thames has 2 homers, Kieboom has been terrible. Castro and Stras injuries are killer. Zimm and Ross opting out affect our depth. The Yankees are on a 5-15 run, the Astros have lost 7 of 10--so it's not just us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially vs Lefties. Stras going down is so hard to overcome. Is Voth really starting Thursday? He has been pitiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was, but therein lies the problem with relief pitching. Its such a volatile position that it makes no sense spending big bucks on it because guys who are good one year suck the next year and vice versa and it happens all the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Not sure where the MLB thread is, so thought I’d put this here. Anyone see the braves-Marlins score? 29-9. Yes, your eyes are working correctly. That says 29-9. One single team has scored 29 runs......WOW 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Braves are going to be good for a while--especially if they get their pitching figured out (which will make @Dont Taze Me Bro happy). On an unrelated note, Harper is doing his thing. Start hot, crater. Last 20 games: .153/.358/.271 2 HR.
