Mark Reynolds had a hot few weeks. That's all. His last couple of seasons indicate the human windmill he's been recently is likely who we're stuck with.

likely? it IS who we are stuck with...but shapiro and antonetti knew that when they signed him to a one year contract...they knew they were getting a 20+ HR guy who should hit for around 75-90 RBI's, hit for around a .240 avg and strike out 400 times...if the guy didn't strike out as much and hit for a better average do you think he would be on the indians? hell no...he would be on the yankees because he would be an all star and we wouldnt be able to afford him...and baltimore probably would of resigned him anyways...the guy has been streaky all his career...you just have to look at the bigger picture...lets hope for the indians sake that he gets hot just like he did last year when it matters in august and september

I have years of experience watching baseball. I have come to conclude that most statistics are utter bull[Mark May]. What matters is "the clutch". A .300 batting averages isn't [Mark May] if you get hits when you're up 10-0 or strike out the side up 7-0 or down 8-1. What Goddamned matters is if you get a hit with a guy on and 2 outs down by 1. Or strike out the side when tied 1-1.

Stats are bull[Mark May].


[censored] Mark Reynolds and that Shaw asshole.

Won't matter if they're 15 out of the wild card chase by then. He had better get hot again in July to split the break, or it won't matter what he does the last 6 weeks of the season.

reynolds is in a funk for sure...and hes still leading the team in home runs and RBI's...sorry to throw stats out there since u dont care about those...mr clutch, jason kipnis, grounded out to end the game and had the bases loaded twice and couldnt convert...so i guess he fucking sucks too

I'm not sure what you're arguing. 3 of 4 with 3 rbis in a 9-4 loss isn't really better than 1-3 with the game winning hit, but whatever.

The glue factory will never let him in, he'll "sniff" up all the profits! :biggrin:

By the way, congrats to the Tribe on a nice nailbiting win tonite!
