Was an unsustainable hot streak and everyone knew it.

Back to the level our run differential suggests we are.

There is a reason why he was released twice in 2024, and no team except Minnesota offered him a non-guaranteed contract for a million dollars back in February. That is why I said yesterday I had hoped for a better bat than this guy. Yet some media homers were saying he will be "fixed by the hitting coach". Time will tell I guess.

That’s optimistic. At the rate they’re collapsing, wildcard would be great.

And so am I, 2nd best player they have.

He is one of the best players in baseball. Do not insult Varsho. Do not insult the Real MVP.

Idk in what world a player that can barely hit 200 has ever been considered one of the best players in baseball.

Varland reminds me of Aaron Sanchez as a RP in 2015, heavy velocity FB that generates GBs without a real top tier outpitch that draws a lot of whiffs

This team loves giving money to one year wonders. Gimenez, Santander and now this bum.

Ask Randle. According to him it is possible for a .200 hitter, who strikes out a tonne, and who has a horrible on base- to be considered as one of the best players in baseball.

I’d be batting Varsho 2 next game, we won’t be winning too many games against quality pitching with a Lukes/Loperfido 1-2

.240 obp shouldn't be batting anywhere other than 8 or 9.
