The Bucs need to start capitalizing on chances.

 

[dare2be]

Usually that's done by getting a hit.

 

[Darkstone42]

We got the hit that time. But we didn't score the run.

 

[steelparrot]

Not looking good, we getting lots of baserunners and no runs

 

[dare2be]

Prepare to be swept by the Payroll.

Polanco leads the International League in runs, hits, triples, RBIs, total bases, batting average, OBP, slugging percentage and of course, OPS. His OPS is .116 higher than second place in the league. That difference is bigger than the difference between 2nd and 14th place.

He's still got things to work on in AAA, though.

He's still got things to work on in AAA, though.

The only thing I can think of that they want him to work on is getting his K rate back down and his BB rate back up to his career norms. That and concerns about his way high BABIP carrying those numbers a bit.

But he certainly has more talent than anyone playing over him right now.

Marte was so good yesterday and so bad today.

 

[thedddd]

2 errors and now it is 2-1 Yankees.

 

[Darkstone42]

Well, at least we took one game. We probably should have taken two, though. The first game today was very winnable.
