Interleague is two H&H with Toronto and Chicago WS, then Cleveland and KC come here again while we visit Detroit and Minnesota again

Also notice the long road trip at the end of July while the Democratic National Convention is in town


Sweet STL on a Mon-Thurs in early May, will definitely plan one of my StL work trips around that.
They have to fly to SD for a friday game after a Thurs day game in PHL. That is brutal.

I can't see them losing more than 20 games next season.

Good thing they are on the road on 9/8, so there'll be no conflict with the Eagles

this can't be real, can it?
on fangraphs rookie leaderboards he's up to 22nd of 55 in fwar, and 29th in wrc+.
on the wrc+ he's ahead of lamb, y.tomas, susac, soler, and swihart.
(with the younger franco and herrara even higher on both lists... take that prospect ranking experts!)

He might be pretty decent. I'd definitely bet he has a place in the majors for quite a while. I mean if what we are seeing is actually what he is he could end up being a starter for a while.

H/t to Jake Kaplan:
In his last 19 games, Rupp is hitting a blistering .323 with three doubles, seven home runs, and 18 RBIs. He did not hit his first major-league home run until his 173d plate appearance, on June 23 at Yankee Stadium. Sunday's came on a 3-1 fastball in the second inning. He drove it the opposite way to right field.

"[I'm] comfortable. [I'm] seeing the ball. The timing is there," he said. "I'm getting a lot of playing time, and I think that just makes a huge difference, when you're getting everyday at-bats and you're seeing guys [for a second time]. I think that's been huge."

At-bats and OPS by month:
April - 26 445
May - 26 718
June - 47 654
July - 43 532
August - 55 1142

Is Maikel Franco gonna be back in time for the playoffs
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

rupp's ISO jumped .400 from July to August while his BABIP went down .003. my two month's worth of knowledge of how sabermetrics work is crashing down around me

I'm not sure but that could be a result of more of his batted balls flying out of the yard. Pure speculation on my part.
