Hosmer is good this year! lol he finally figured out elevation makes him a better player.
But Moore has the same problem all GMs have. When a new one comes in and cleans house there's no attachment, they make the moves that have to be made. Moore is attached to every player in the organization, Bubba Starling is here because Moore picked him, you don't think a new GM wouldn't ax that dude? [Reply]

We'll see. To be honest, I hope so - the Pads are that much more fun to watch when Hos is raking.
I said before the season that a 60 game season was just short enough for Hos to go on one of his random hot streaks and put up MVP numbers. Unsure if he'd be able to sustain that success over a 162 game year. [Reply]

Looks like he broke his index finger tonight. [Reply]
Bummed about Hos’ injury. Him and Wil were hitting like the elite players they were projected to be and it was fun to see them in the same lineup. Watching the Pads is watching an alt reality where all of our hitting prospects hit and caught fire immediately (Tatis’ loser back injuries are still a major concern, though)
