First of all, I would like to apologize for the eye-rolling nature of the title's pun. Anyways, Monday was a day with not too many games, but that didn't mean we were short on offensive explosions, as there were multiple double-digit run games. Perhaps the best performance of the night goes to the incredible Eric Thames who went 2-3, 2 HR, 3 R, 3 RBI. The dude just. keeps. hitting. It's insane. His stat lines are absurd, like his .910 SLG, .537 ISO, and his 52.6% HR/FB rate. Look, the guy showed incredible power in Korea, and he obviously figured something out, as evidenced by his 53.1% hard hit rate. The home runs will slow down, obviously, but this guy looks like he's going to make the people who took a chance on him very happy.
Let's take a look at some of the other performances from Monday:
wait why can’t I see anything on any article?
I am having the same issue, but it seems like others aren’t having the problem. I can’t see the lists, the gifs, or the roundup.
Thanks for the heads up, back to normal now!
Thanks for letting us know, should be all good now!
Add me to the list. I also couldn’t see the pitcher article list last night. This is a clown web host, bro!
Thanks for letting us know, we got it back up and normal!
It sucks that you have to deal with that. Are you hosting your own site? If not, then you really should look into a new host… unless it is your own doing… in which case, it happens!
If you were to sell high on Thames, what tier of players would you expect in return?
Depends on the general perception of him with whomever you’re dealing with, however I would bet you could reasonably get a top-40 hitter or top-20 pitcher for him right now.
I don’t understand the Addison Russell blurb. “Putting the past couple seasons behind him?” As you said he is only 23. He was brought up early at the age of 21. I think I would word it as building off those first two seasons. I don’t think he looks at those seasons in a negative way at all.
I would say he may not, but a lot of fantasy baseball players did.
In the preseason, I heard plenty of people saying that Russell was just a middle-of-the-road shortstop, almost talking about him like he was a bust when he came up so early.
