6.50 ERA is tough these days?

you're supposed to be better than that.
Pretty tough tonight, Craviduce. Given up one run so far. By the away, why would you make a troll post like that? Cause there are no MILB gsmes tonight?
Wow how the standards have fallen. Is that Pedro Martinez out there? No it's a guy with an ERA worse than Fedde

Saggese’s 3 out of 4 tonight.

He appears to have a slight build, the Cat looked buffed compared to him. Lol Maybe if Saggase hits the weight room he could be the future at 2b. I wish him well as a Cardinal.
Burley needs to lose 15

Saggesse needs to gain 15

Dollander was ranked ahead of Misiorowski & Chase Burns by all the prospect dudes coming into ‘25. That seems tough.

With Saggese getting some hits and Gorman making throwing errors at 3rd , it appears Saggese could have more playing time in final 6 weeks .
Wtherholt will be playing a lot too .
Gorman may have to fight for his at bats as a DH down the stretch whatever number they are.

I wonder who’s better at 3B - Wetherholt or Saggese.

It will be an interesting off season for sure. I do think Wetherholt will be a starter out of Spring Training. I think Saggese could also be a starter or super utility player. There are a lot of things to happen in the off season to make it happen.

Just wonder who has the strongest arm from 3B.

After watching Gorman the last few games I would expect to see Saggese at third most nights if Nado isn't available, but it's hard to figure Oli sometimes.

Saggese has upped his BA to .258. Contreras is at .256. Gorman's is .226.

Saggese has upped his BA to .258. Contreras is at .256. Gorman's is .226.
And?

Contreras: 123 wRC+, 121 OPS+
Gorman: 104 wRC+, 104 OPS+
Saggese: 82 wRC+, 83 OPS+ (in a whole 128 PAs!)

What’s your point?

I like his ”all out” play. And he’s only 23 years old.
Could have a bright future.

Saggese - 23 YO, 180 ML PAs
Gorman - 25 YO, 1,434 ML PAs
Contreras - 33 YO, 4,182 ML PAs

Self explanatory. You’re comparing apples and oranges.

I wasn’t the one doing the comparing, Shady was.

You’re the one comparing stats, with no reference to ML experience (PAs) or age.

By the way, do you reside in the Buffalo area, Binghamton area, Albany area, Westchester area, the 5 Boroughs, or LI (south or north shore)?
