He's not the 7th or 8th best prospects in the system. Fangraphs has him 23rd. He's projected to a middle relief role long term.

Funny when you saw him head down sprinting 15 feet from 3rd and Baez standing watching the ball just 10 feet up the line.

Yup, just a dull and monotonous voice, and he drones on too long. Painful to listen to.

I have to pirate every game and always end up with the home teams announcers. I much prefer road games. Both Gibson and Monroe are amongst the worst announcers.

That's not really accurate, he's below MLB average in both GB% and PU%. He just hasn't been making solid contact and hitting the ball regardless of the hit profile.

Definitely more than a little annoying that the consensus #1 picks in our drafts were Mize and Torkelson while the O's consensus #1 picks were Rutschman and Holliday.

Walking off the mound on a pitch that isn't even borderline is quite the move.

Bring on the robo umps.

I subscribe to the best hitter second theory.

Jobes start is once again the free milb.tv game of the day. Game starts in 20 minutes.

Buckner is absolutely awful.

FWIW fangraphs scouting report list his raw power at 40/45 and in game power at 20/45.

Jobes start tonight is the milb.tv free game of the day.

I'm lost...what is the spotlight? And why is this the first time he's doing it? Is it some new things the Giants are doing?

Keith has both a higher GB% and pull% than Canha. Canha is hitting more GB than he normally does so far, but for his career he hits less GB than the MLB average. Keith also has a .444 OPS on the season. Also, you absolutely want one of your 3 best hitters in the #2 spot. Really what's happening is Canha had one bad AB where he GIDP in extra innings against the Mets and you're basing everything upon that one AB and burying your head in the sand and ignoring all the evidence that shows your take and opinions are blatantly incorrect. Literally all the things you say Canha lacks for the #2 spot are legitimate strengths of his game.

Correct, those cleats are no way indicative of being thin skinned.

It absolutely does not make a huge difference lol.

Riley Greene would really benefit from a robo ump.

Its a rate stat, not a counting stat, so whether second or overall is irrelevant. And replacing our third best hitter with one of our worst at the top of the lineup is honestly one of the worst suggestions I've seen on this board.

Fortunately there is actually a stat to measure that. And it turns out that you're wrong. He's basically average at avoiding GDP every single year, and +2.5 for his career overall.

Why do we keep hitting him leadoff though?

Botch back to back double plays to give the Twins their second run. Not getting an out on the bunt, and then give up 3 runs on an error there. Add in Carpenter not going first to third on a single to right in the bottom of the 11th. Just can't do that. This team is gonna be in a lot of close games, they need to be a team that wins because they execute the little things.

Never should've been in that position. How Carpenter did not go first to third on a single to right is baffling.

Carpenter should have been on third after Keith's single.

Season long offensive struggles not withstanding, this is more of a great pitcher just in the zone than anything IMO.
