the amazing thing is...

he’s actually off his career pace. As his BB-Ref sponsorship so helpfully points out, his 3TO% in the majors is a whopping 53.4%. In his minor-league stints, it’s similarly high at 52.4%.

But this season it’s only 45.3%, mostly because the K rate is down (with his career rate he’d be at around 50%)...he’s downright murdering the AAA pitching right now. His batting average is now as high as his minor-league career OBP!

apparently Eric Munson can't, either

Or maybe Weaver’s learning the knuckleball down in Nashville…

Clearly

DiFelice > Weaver, small samples be damned.

He's the round mound of profound

Didn't you hear?

The Brewers are a .500 team! It doesn’t matter who we start.

He's extremely quick and good.

The Munson line

caught my eye too. LOL, I can’t believe we were considering him in the show not too long ago. His bat may play, but he’d have to put on the tools every once in a while…
