Messing around on Baseball Savant and found some fun comps for Yainer. The most similar I could find is Bobby Witt Jr. Obviously, the speed & position are about as different as they come, but the bat is uncanny.

Yainer vs Bobby
xBA: .260 vs .254
xSLG: .481 vs .471
xwOBA: .327 vs .329
EV: 91.7 vs 90.4
LA: 17.4 vs 18.1
Barrel%: 11.9 vs 11.3
K%: 19.6 vs 21.5
BB%: 3.6 vs 5.6

Could you imagine Bobby Witt Jr. playing 20% of his games and having 50 ABs

If Dusty were coaching for KC, I could see that happening.

LAD have given up 4 HR in 5 batters in B3. You hate to see it.

8-16. 7 runs in B8. HRs like crazy. The Cards know what's coming now and did earlier in B3. You don't hit this many HRs back to back without knowing something. LA pitchers are tipping something bigtime.

Well, the stros are off, but the Ags are on tonight.

You 2%ers be sure to watch the whole game.


What a terrible idea this was.

Not surprising. This A&M baseball team is a big bag of mediocre. The tournament would have been nice but the chances this team would make any noise are slim to none.

They had the opposite night as the Astros did last night. 5 run lead, turned into a walk off. Probably the worst pitching staff ever assembled in college station

Agreed, remembered quickly why I haven't been doing it.

They definitely suck at defense and pitching and have all year, but damn that ump was bad, and we made it worst by our simple inability to execute basic baseball plays that every high school player can basically make in their sleep, which is just a focus issue.

Ump seemed bad both ways and this is how this team has played all year. Can't blame the whole season on the umpires.

Agree, I'm not usually one to complain about umpiring but home plate was brutal tonight. Pitching has been unbelievably bad but I thought defense has been an improvement over last year. But defense isn't much help against walks.

Calm down. I wasn't blaming anything on the ump. But he did have a part in the almost unwatchable quality of the game.

Very, vey frustrating season. Still if you told me in Schloss' first two seasons we would be in Omaha and get a couple of Ws I'd take it with few questions asked.

I was happy to see Straw go. I may have been in the minority but I didn't mind it.

Click's trades were mostly solid.

Montero/Graveman for Smith/Toro

Dubon for Papierski

Yimi for De La Cruz & Pruitt

Raley for Medina

He didn't play last night. Wonder if that means he was traveling or they're just taking things really slow with him?

They announced a few days ago he wouldn't play in Corpus and would be in Houston with the team. Everyone assumed that meant he would be back today. We shall see.

I was listening to an interview with Brown on Wednesday and he said then that he expected Altuve back in the next week.

They might as continue his rehab against some more AAA pitching this weekend.
