Should we ring the alarm about Bo? Dudes got a 100 OPS+ we really need him to start doing something lol

Lars Nootbarr has to be one of the best names in baseball.

Depends on how much stock you put in his increased K rate. Everything else in his peripheral numbers seems basically fine, and I tend to believe that he's more likely than not to trend back toward career norms.

The Dutch are high on the list of quality name generators. Probably A tier versus Nigeria's S tier, but still up there.

I should also mention, not for the first time, that the Dutch baseball league is called the Honkbal Hoofdklasse. Perfection.

Time to trade for a SP. We can’t move forward with Berrios and Kikuchi the way they’ve pitched this year.

I’m not sure Berrios is actually pitching all that poorly this game. Some of it seems like bad luck.

The Jays have hit 6 balls over 100 mph. Cardinals have only hit 1.

He’s not commanding a single pitch he’s throwing. Has been a season long issue.

Can Berrios throw a FB within 5 feet of his target?

Lucky he didn’t give up another HR as badly as that hanging curve was on 0-2. May lead to the go ahead run anyway.

Those black shoes on Hernandez just look weird. I'm so used to blue or white.

Ugghh... like the aggressiveness in general, but that was not the time to stretch a single into a double.
