Javy up over .850 OPS this month, third month this season over .800 so he's had stretches of great play it's just that when he was bad he was REALLY bad. This is very Porcelloish but if you throw out his disastrous May where he had a .432 OPS he'd be over .750 OPS for the season which considering the environment would be well above league average. Hopefully next year his disastrous stretch will be better in which case he could finish above league average offensively.

yeah - at this point I'm not worried about Javy any more. We were told he'd be erratic, he has been and since he had such a bad stretch early his numbers have never recovered but I'm OK  penciling him in at SS for next season. They have bigger batting order fish to fry than to spend time and resources chasing another SS when they are needed more at 1b, 2b, 3b, C and OF..

This team is such a paradox: you look at the likely starting pitching for next season with Manning, Skubal (at some point) Brieske, Wentz, Turnbull, ERod and you think - how can a team with that starting pitching not be a lock to at least challenge for a playoff spot, yet you still struggle to see how they can rebuild enough of the position roster to be taken seriously at all.

fuckin' hell, Javy.

FH Haase and/or TORK! as well. Pollock had turned toward second and the umpire was ready to call the out, and all they had to do was handle it cleanly and it would inning over right now.
