Yeah we better sweep the White Sox.

I don't even think it's a hot take if Ohtani can't or won't pitch

My God.

Ryan Yarbrough DFA'd, worth a claim...?

That was a big hit. After a couple of disappointing series, Witt did what stars do. Picked up the entire team and took them to victory.

Post game, I slept well.

BWJ is so damn humble and quiet it’s incredible. He’s not cocky, doesn’t bat flip, doesn’t do anything over the top, just keeps his head down and plays ball. Very lucky to have him on our team….. obviously. But the intangibles are amazing. He even supports his teammates at every chance he gets.

Hmmm...sounds a lot like our QB

Our dude is 44/88 over the last 30 days. For those of you bad at math, that's a .500 average.

Both raised in MLB clubhouses.

Vinny and Garcia have a .270 BAPIP. Both of them.

Very reasonable to think they will be better end of the year.

Bobby has a .378 bapip lol

I have begun to sour a bit on bapip though to try to weed out flukey starts or lack thereof because some guys just always have a high bapip...like Alex Gordon.

There's so much that goes into BABIP.

How much contact do you make?
How hard is that contact. on average?
Are you fast enough to beat out a lot of IF grounders?
Are you hitting lots of line drives?

If you can run like the wind, you hit the ball hard (and consistently hit it hard), you control the strike zone, and you hit a lot of line drives, like Bobby Witt, BABIP is generally going to be higher than average.
