    In fairness, two guys who can touch up anyone.

    This staff has no clue how to pitch Baez. He swings at EVERYTHING. Why are you laying stuff in there early in the count? I watched them in the Pirates series recently, and he didn’t get jack squat to hit. This isn’t complicated.

    Ian Happ: on base against no one else - ever.

    EDIT: actually has a .358 OBP. Did not realize that. But it feels like .758 vs Reds.

    I think Thom mentioned it's over .600 vs the Reds this year.

    .509 for his career vs Reds prior to today. OPS north of 1.200

    Baez is just good. I want to dislike him, but as a baseball fan in general, it’s hard to do that.

    Yep. And they’re pitching him like he’s Average Joe. Time to put some “speck” on it.

    He was wrong or I misheard close to .600. It's still ridiculous.
