Remember earlier this summer, when the Royals visited Chavez Ravine? Betts just yesterday was activated from the IL, for the injury suffered on that hit-by-pitch. Dodgers opted to keep the likes of Kiké Hernandez rather than Amed Rosario, upon reinstating Betts.

Hey guys, high AF question here.
I don't know how augmented reality glasses work, but I was just watching a video of a go pro posted by a high school umpire, and he was letting the catcher and batter know why it was a ball each time, like he would say just outside, too low, etc. And the video was really high quality. But, my THC infused brain wonders why umpires can't wear augmented reality glasses that puts up guide lines, or even a representation of the strike zone that TV viewers see. This would help with accuracy, I would think. Can anyone explain how this is either dumb, or a good idea, and why, or how augmented reality works? |

He's the same overly aggressive hitter he's always been and he doesn't bring any real power to the party. He's a guy who depends entirely on BABIP for his OBP and right now his BABIP is really elevated. It definitely shouldn't be based on his batted ball profile - he's just been getting lucky. He's due for regression. If you had him playing 2b and batting 8th or 9th, you might not be in terrible shape, but he's just not a very good player. He's almost certainly better than Frazier and he might be better than Hampson (though I think he's actually extremely similar). He's definitely not better than Massey. Ultimately you could probably do worse as a bench player but with an $8 million deal, you're looking at taking on about $2 million for the remainder of the season. I wouldn't say he's worth claiming at that figure. If you're starting him and batting him leadoff, you have some pretty major lineup problems. |

Is this team destined for a slide back to .500?
