Ballgame.

JP France was really good.

Anyone have any thoughts on why Bregman suddenly can’t hit LHP?

Lefty · July 21, 2023, 4:37am

I’m not sure why you think there’s anything sudden about it.

He was bad last year and he’s totally fallen off a cliff this season.

Idstrosfan · July 21, 2023, 5:10am

He was better vs LHP than RHP until last year.

Last year he started slow but actually finished strong to get his ops to a respectable 703 (vs LHP)

Maybe the same happens this year, but doesn’t look like it.

At least the 6 top AL playoff contending teams have 83% RH starters.

Watched the highlights this morning. Jake’s outstanding catch at the wall looked so much like Chas in Game 5. This may be Cabrera, but I have not scrolled through the GZ yet.

And, he was battling the sun.

JimR · July 21, 2023, 6:47pm

You are right. He was.

JohnS · July 21, 2023, 6:58pm

I too was thinking of Meyers’ catch being reminiscent of Chas’ in the WS.
Great minds…

Indeed we are. Holler at me re beer when you are in Austin and have time.

JohnS · July 21, 2023, 11:09pm

I sure will, Coach/Jim.
Been too long
