You're not missing much honestly, outside of Stephenson, Winker, and Waldrop the Reds farm system is pretty thin.
Walthrup is batting a scorching .172. Flat out killing it. Lol

He was doing well in AA to start the season but has not made the transition well to AAA pitching. Winker is only hitting 270ish in AA and is the best hitting prospect in our system.
And damnit, every time Billy Hamilton hits the ball in the air he should have to do push ups like Willy Mays Hayes in Major League.
I wish he could figure out how to bunt.
Bunt, walk, slap the ball, beat it into the ground, etc. His offensive game needs a lot of work of he wants to be anything more than a curiosity or what if guy.
I try to cut him some slack since they called him up way too early, but other than cutting down on his caught stealing, he's gotten worse this year.
Getting close to OT2.
I'm thinking "Dodgers still suck" as the title.
I think he got a lot of rookie luck and decent looks since nobody really knew much about him. I see him at about a .265-.270 hitter at best. Definitely not a leadoff hitter.
I feel like I'm at GAB though. Just had second and third with nobody out and couldn't manage a run. Definitely a Reds team lol
Holy shit we are so fucking awful.
I'm game for #DevilMagic personally.
You should. It will make our 10-year championship run that much sweeter.Getting close to OT2.

LOL wow
Mets' pitchers really are their best hitters
Nats fan should be angry at Gonzalez for not breezing through this line-up with a 5 run lead.
Our best hitters are our pitchers.
There are no words to describe how pathetic that is.
Pretty sure we've reached at least like, J-League level line-up here at this point. Maybe even lower.
our bench is non existent.

Fixed.our lineup is non existent.
Billy Hamilton has been worth 1.5 fWAR this year in spite of his poor hitting solely because of his elite baserunning and defense. He's on pace for almost 3 fWAR this year, which while a step back from last year is still pretty good
He's a pretty good player, even with a wRC+ of 50
Braves...yep.

The FanGraphs/Baseball Reference WAR discrepancy is hilarious here, 1.5 fWAR v 0.2 bWAR. I was not bashing his defense or baserunning, just his plate approach (as I typed this up he hit another fly ball to left field). The old adage you can't steal first has never been more true than with Billy. Imagine his value if his OBP was just 300 and not 260. He doesn't need to slash 330/400/350 to be a damn good player, with his speed he just needs to be league average.
I think he'll probably reach a 300 OBP, or at least significantly closer to it than 260. That's at least what the projections all call for (and what his limited MLB track record and minors record seem to indicate too)
burn this dodger bullpen to the ground
i hate it
