Kim 3-3 with his lowest EV at 104... and we're totally wasting it.

4 of Olson's last 6 ABs have been with RISP, no hits, no RBI.

Comes up with 0 on and 2 out, laces a 104mph double to the wall.

.

It’s really strange how so many power hitters have such low RBI totals that you scratch your heads. Olson’s 37 has only netted 79 RBI’s. Schwarber’s 40 has only netted 82 RBI’s ( a bit more understandable considering he hits lead off so much)

But back in the day, those guys have north of 100 easily. I guess pitchers are much more careful now with the power guys when there are runners on.

AJSS should be finishing this year in Gwinnett to get his confidence and comfortability back after the grueling TJ rehab process. Instead we fast tracked a 23-year-old back to the majors because we needed instant reinforcements in our rotation for the stretch run.

Just bad overall planning that put a young, high-potential prospect in a no-win situation


I mean, that's pretty much the way AA has handled AJSS's entire career. He wasn't remotely ready when he was called up the first time, and was rushed through the minors. Which is even worse when you consider he has barely pitched before being drafted.

AJSS has never even shown he's ready for the majors (he's topped 70 IP once in his career, and never had a sub 4 ERA in any of his full minor league seasons), yet here he is in the middle of a playoff push. We've really mishandled his career for sure.

Brewers won, despite trailing 3-0, because they actually have an offense.

Cardinals are kicking the shite out of the Dodgers and the Phillies are kicking the shite out of the Diamondbacks.
