Marsh is 2-26 (.077 BA)

So a guy bats .220 in 123 ABs, has a .281 OBP and a .393 slug. And that includes a strong second call-up in the same season. The first was worse than that overall number. Mike Trout.

Just curious?

Why the Marsh fail commentary?

I figured he would struggle and not going to worry about how he does this year.

Just posting facts. 

I'm not asking you to worry.

Oakland gets to beat up Texas this weekend while we face the Dodgers who are on a roll.

At least we'll avoid Scherzer.

Buehler who pitches Sunday has lost two games, in which L.A. scored zero runs total and got only 5 hits.

This has nothing to do with Trout.

I am not worried about him.  He will be a good player.

Lou is a just the facts guy. He also enjoys cherry picking facts to own n00bs

[fan_since79]

The ever popular "get two men on base with two outs then strand them" offense.

[beatlesrule]

3-0 bot 5th.

He’s at peace now, don’t worry about him worrying.

I haven't cherry-picked anything.

I posted his career BA.

Well, we'll miss Scherzer, I think. That shouldn't hurt. The other aces they throw at the Angels might still be challenging.

IIRC Marsh struggled at every level he was promoted to at first and eventually adapted.   I don’t give a crap about his current struggles.  He needs to play every game.  

[beatlesrule]

Bundy cruising.

Honor and shame are huge parts of baseball. It’s not like it is with other sports where you can get away with being an asshole.

[eligrba4ever]

That exit velocity was awesome, Jo!!!!

[daygloman]

Right on!

Go Halos!
