How did 420 get associated with one of my favorite substances For the last 50 years

 

[xmasbuck]

In 2014 his OPS vs RHers was .784.
In 2015....768
In 2016....817
In 2017....847, including his MLB at bats
In 2018.....759, including his MLB at bats.

When playing regularly, all Luplow has done at every level is hit hit hit against everybody.

lol - I posted his career major league slash line v rh

one of many legends is that it had to do with a group of high school kids who got high after school every day - they would meet at 4:20

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Plesac is horrid. Who else we got?

 

[xmasbuck]

we've got a chance - how hard can it be to hit a guy named Codi?

 

[biggie4]

There is a number on the horrid list right now.

Hot take: I hate listening to Tom Hamilton

Hot take: I hate listening to Tom Hamilton

Hamilton would be better if the TEAM were better. As is, he tells the truth more than the TV guys--pointing out tonight, for example, that the weak pop by Hernandez in the 8th (with sacks full) is typical of Cleveland's non-HR hitters trying for the fences instead of line drives. And I've often replayed his calls of walk-off wins, especially Naquin's inside-the-park HR, or of Jay Bruce's smash down the RF line that extended the great streak.

So Jordan Luplow has earned a spot..

Franmil Reyes continues to get hits in bunches... Coupled with his hard hitting he could do some damage.. He flashes it enough to get you excited, just need to put it all together and he is a stud. But he is still raw/streaky. Naylor finally hits one with real authority and gets his 1st RBI. I like his chances as the weather heats up.

If Cesar can get cooking, we look a lot better - FAST!

We are raw, but we have potential..

Positivity/negativity has nothing to do with my disdain for him

 

[CATS44]

What I dont understand. When Gamel was sent down so that we could have an extra guy in the pen. But after that game, why wasn't a position player added?

Twice now, we have needed a pinch hitter late in the game , but didn't have one on the bench.

 

[Real Deal]

Lol, Hammy saw that Bauers out coming.

 

[Criznit]

Too bad the shift wasn't on....

At least Bauers made contact... Is it time to try Naylor at 1st and Luplow in RF?

I know it can be seen as pushing the panic button or whatever, but we have certainly done a fair amount of "experiments" already so if not Bradley, why not Naylor (1st)/Luplow(OF)? Call up a legit CF/OF at the same time?

Also suggested checking Luplow out at 1B as a potential option.. Before any of you say that's crazy show me your BINGO card with CF on it.. Don't misconstrue that, I like Luplow in CF/OF. Just throwing that out there.

 

[CATS44]

Lol, Hammy saw that Bauers out coming.

So did everybody watching in the stands and at home.

Do they normally shift on Bauers? Because if they do, that's pretty good for him..
