Mauer will turn this poo poo around someday....right? Something is clearly not right with him and its painful to watch after years of decent hitting

First 56 games back post-concussion:

Joe Mauer 666 OPS
Justin Morneau 608 OPS

It's funny, because, if you play The Show, especially this years, you know how QUICKLY old players deteriorate, and Torii seems to be one of those in the game. He loses like 10 points by the middle of the year in every ability. I always thought that was hilarious.

Now it's happening.

Mauer is pretty significantly better than Morneau there

He's still far short of his career average of .863. Morneau's was .869 before he took that knee to the head, and he's bounced back to .832 this year. Most of that's probably Coors, though.

Remember a couple weeks ago when people were pointing out that Gomez/Puig/Stanton were probably the right choices for the NL OF All-Stars? Well, Andrew McCutchen is suddenly the second-best hitter in all baseball by wOBA/wRC+. He was hitting .408/.473/.959 in June and all he did today was go 2/5 with a dinger and a walk. That's his 7th HR of the month, after hitting a total of 0 in May.

He's good.

Oh sure, Puig disrespects the game with his antics yet again, shows up the pitcher and endangers an ump and a fellow player all at once, but batflips are so cool am I right? Let's face it, the man is a menace.

Doctors do enough yelling about how recovery times from concussions are completely individual processes with no standardized schedule besides some generalizations based on the past concussion history of the specific brain in question that we might also not want to be throwing up Since Got Back From Concussion samples like they're especially meaningful by that virtue alone

Literally an hour after Rollins broke the hit record, he told reporters he would be willing to waive his no trade if the Phillies were actively trying to trade players.

I thought he had been pretty open about that being his plan, at least a couple of SAS people had talked about it on Twitter.

N: Mike Olt leads all NL rookies with ten dingers and 25 RBI. He has done this with a .152 average and a .611 OPS (63 OPS+) alongside 60 strikeouts, which is Jose Hernandez-esque.

V: Didn't Olt have surgery or something to fix his vision problem, which was blamed for his K rate / batting average?

George Kontos optioned down to AAA. Does this mean the Giants are going to try and shake up the bullpen after the last three losses?
