Yelich is having a great season after a couple of down years.

He might be getting a bit lucky with the BABIP but he's still hitting the ball really well.
The issue with Yelich has always been that he hits too many ground balls in my opinion.

I've wondered recently if Vlad Guerrero Jr could benefit from working with Barry Bonds because Vlad reminds me quite a bit of Yelich in some ways.
Both are guys who have good contact skills and power. But both also tend to drive the ball into the ground. If Vlad could just elevate the ball a little more, or get more more of that backspin that Yelich talks about...he could get closer to the 2021 Vlad that we saw hit 48 HRs.

Nah @god shamgod he's right.
Kid needs to be quiet.

Hitting .229 is embarrassing.
Edit -- he's hitting .202

Morel did nothing in that hr trot for dude to be crying about it. That whole clip makes him sound miserable , he was talking shyt about the fan who caught the hr barehanded too

I'm waiting for some .385 shooter to celebrate after making a 3 pointer and I'm gonna tag you to make sure you got that same energy.

Watching ColinCowherd interview Derek Jeter and the interview took a left turn when he speculated that Jeter played against Nolan Ryan. Jeter jaut seem so mad and irritated about that and jsut never let to go :russ: :russ: . Colin been doin this a long time and even though he’s is who he is, he’s professional. Better was telling him to be a bette professional and stat check next time. They missed each by one season:mjlol:

Harold Reynolds downplaying Honneycut's K% is surprising me. Figured he be more in the back in my day you strike out a lot you don't play.
