Remember the posts about the best hitter hitting 2nd in the lineup? Well, today Arizona has Trumbo in the 2 hole and of course he hit a HR in his first AB.
It all makes sense somehow in somebody's universe.
Top ten things that will change by October:
10. Twins will not be over .500
9. Kazmir will not have 1.62 ERA
8. Trumbo will not hit .295
7. Rodney will not be Seattle's closer
6. Stephen Vogt will not lead the AL in OPS
5. Mets will not be over .500
4. A.J. Burnett will not lead the NL in ERA
3. Dee Gordon will not hit .430
2. Angels will not be under .500
1. Astros will not be over .500
Jordan Walden out 6 to 10 weeks with right shoulder problems. Who'd we get for him again? Oh yeah, never mind.
And today is Willie Mays' 84th birthday and he blew out the candles at AT&T.
I keep watching. Based on the miserable offensive struggles, I think I've been transported back in time to the 70s. I turn on the game each night expecting a Ryan start.
It seems like something in his motion and release point. Not only has he lost a couple more MPH, but he's not locating well and leaving it up in the zone. I hope he gets this figured out soon.
