Does Adley's fade down the stretch portend a move to 1B or DH sooner rather than later in his career?
Davy Andrews
5:03
No.

Doubt  it
esp if this is just a hand injury
Burnesed

I really think the Adley problem is the wrist injury lingering. But also he has a very long swing, which may age poorly if uncorrected.
Davy Andrews

Statcast's bat tracking leaderboard begs to differ.

14th percentile bat speed?
Davy Andrews

Let's not forget the hand injury. It's dropped quite a bit. 69.4 mph before 6/27, 68.6 after.

Cal Ripken is slowly morphing into Tom Colicchio

I was doing some back of envelope math and if Soto averages 35 HR for 15 years (until he’s 40), he still won’t pass Bonds…

It's a LOT of homers!

Can Jose Ramirez usurp Barry Bonds as the best player in the 400-400 club?
AvatarJay Jaffe
5:10
pretty sure that Barry Bonds is going to be the best player in just about any club he's in

I like J-Ram, but let's not go nuts

....is Ripken losing like a foot of height in that Colicchio transformation?
AvatarDan Szymborski
5:10
He's in his mid-60s, as shocking as that is!
Davy Andrews
5:11
Oh no Melendez.

Though probably not a foot

Ripken isn't going to be impressed with my ability to debone a chicken, that's for sure.

But is 400-400 on the table?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Despite recent spike, he's still at an age where SBs really start collapsing

what's the OAA on that melendez play ?
Davy Andrews
5:12
I mean, if it were possible to lose more than one out on a play, I'd say -35.
Burnesed
5:12
When they talk about the new LF in Baltimore being hard to play, they don't mean that ball
MOOOOOKIE
5:13
that melendez play gets made like 80+ percent of the time I bet?

Colicchio is the best chef-judge of cooking shows.

Way higher than 80...he misread the spin off the bat.  Huge misplay.

melendez' default seems to be "turned around" .... yikes

Lindor seems to be underappreciated by a big chunk of Mets fans, who (until this year) thought Alonso was the better player.  Do you think yesterday's HR immediately gives him the props he deserves?
Davy Andrews
5:15
At this point, I think this is an extremely small minority. Narratives are hard to kill.
AvatarJay Jaffe

That's one of the biggest homers in franchise history. Not sure how that — and really, his whole stretch run with all of those clutch HRs — can't help but level his standing.
Ben Clemens

My 'potential difference maker' for the Royals was keeping the ball away from Melendez
feeling good about that one

Are you looking forward to the “rest is bad” takes if the yankees/dodgers/phillies lose ?
Davy Andrews

I find it pretty easy to avoid the nonsense.
Ben Clemens

Oh boy
