Need about 10 runs here and I'll feel comfortable with the bullpen.

Watching someone who knows "how to pitch" and can challenge in the strike zone is so enjoyable. Thanks Urquidy. Now, buckle your seat belts for the bullpen.

Diaz is cheaper, but I'd rather have Marwin.


No way. Marwin can't hit anymore.
If anybody's #s look like they cheated their ass off in 2017, it was Marwin. He's sucked since.
Marwin's career WAR is 14.8. This year, he is at .5. He averages 1.48 WAR per season. Without 2017, his WAR averages 1.2.

Diaz's career WAR is 6.2. This year, he is at .3. He averages 1.03 WAR per season.

Diaz hits for a little more power and better average, but Marwin has a higher hard hit percentage (42.7 to 39.8) and higher EV.

Marwin also is a switch hitter.

dWAR, Marwin is better than Diaz, averaging .43 to -.08.

This isn't even mentioning durability.

Diaz is better with OPS.

Marwin's numbers were inflated in 2017, but his numbers in 18 were decent and with Minnesota, they were similar to his averages prior to 2017. He just is struggling at the plate this year.

Again, I'd rather have Marwin.


I have no idea what any of those numbers mean. I do know Marwin hit .211 last year and is hitting .199 last year. That's over 96 games and 350 at-bats. He's got 29 walks and 80 strikeouts in that time frame. His OBP for those two years is .286 and .292 and his slugging .320 and .284. Those are horrible numbers.

At 47, I fully admit that I am approaching what some consider old man status. But "hard hit percentage" and "exit velocity" are statistics I find to be absolutely hilarious.



I agree those numbers are terrible, but 2020, imo, should be discounted. Look what Altuve did last year. Look at Yuli. I think 2020 is an anomaly.

The .199 BA this year is troubling, but I wouldn't be surprised if he hits one out today.

Straw is slowly getting better. Jones cannot make the first out at third.

I didn't see a tag until his left foot was down.

Did the base coach send him or did he go in his own?

He went on his own. Tag was to the inside of his leg.

I don't understand why Bregman lets some of these first pitch fastballs in a good location within the zone go so many times.

At least it seems that way.

Seems that way for Carlos too.


Bregman on TA confirmed...

9 runs and only 2 of them scored on a single home run. All the rest in the ballpark. That's a sign of a balanced offense.

Is this what they call a "two-out rally"?
