I'm actually wondering if they have something in his contract/agreement where if he has even a little pain, they pull him and put him on the injured reserve.
But, yeah, it's a shame he can't stay healthy.
Gotta love Ray's Jason Adam's reaction. First, dejection cause he "knows" it's gone, than reaction when it's caught plus some funny faces. Pretty cool.
Kind of a crappy thing to speculate about, but I would guess he was checking to see if the catcher shifted.
This does NOT look like a fun at bat at all:
What the hell happened to Kris Bryant? He has like zero power in his bat now. I thought for sure he was going to be a 25-35 home run hitter every season after his rookie year.
So they're airlifting their current ballpark to Vegas and then putting a roof on it?
The massive foul territory if they keep it is just really stupid.
Lot of guys that start out great flameout at 31 or 32. Don't know if it is age, nagging injures or lack of desire after huge contract signing or a combo platter of all three. $27M this year and another $131M after this year whether he hits 25-30 homers or 10-15.
I think injuries derailed his career quite a bit. Tough to stay solid at what you do when you’re missing a month plus at a time a lot. Crazy to go from a NL RotY to NL MVP to basically a below average player as fast as he did
He’s not below average though even after injuries. He’s had one year with an OPS+ under 100 and it was the short covid year. And for those wondering what OPS+ means it’s basically what percentage above league average you are which is 100.
Below average may have been a bit harsh. Massively overpaid fair?
