Boog Powell is a PED dude who is struggling to put it together. Unless he develops power he won't be anything but a 4th OF.

Edit: Boog is 1 PED suspension away from a lifetime ban soooo

People were clamoring for the A's to sign Alonso to a multiyear deal so of course Beane dumps him first opportunity.

He's a great hitter but an awful defender, AKA an Oakland A's player.

undetermined. he looked great in the first half due to his better launch angle, but has reverted to terrible. not sure if that's because his swing's changed or what. talent is definitely there, though. and given the mariners are terrible at developing/coddling hitters into their best, i'm not hopeful.

good dude, though

He's been a mediocre hitter for his entire career. I would bet on him reverting to that instead of turning into Justin Smoak.

Boog Powell is apparently 75 years old, has osteoporosis and the physique of Dusty "The American Dream" Rhodes, this is a bad trade for the A's imo

I'm more impressed with the 42 foot apex. That's a 395 foot line drive the opposite way.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Judge is hitting like poo poo right now, swinging and missing like crazy, and basically doing everything wrong he was doing right in the first half.

But every once and awhile he hits a ball and it just flies out of the stadium because he's silly.

Revelry in the Dark

so the Dodgers are gonna be 79-32 after they finish off the Mets, which made start thinking about their chance to set the win record. The current mark is 116, so they need to go 38-13 the rest of the way to get to 117. that's a winning percentage of .745, which is actually lower than their current win percentage over the last 51 (.862). As of now, they're on pace for 115 wins. if they went 26-25 the rest of the season they'd still win 105 games, which is absurd!

this Dodgers team really might be the best we've ever seen in our lives

e: outside of matchups against Colorado, Arizona, and Washington, every team they'll face is under .500 by a decent margin too
