Matt Koperniak deserves a shot at the show….He has hit at every level, and he’s repeated AAA this year. He didn’t make the team this year after a hot spring. Promptly had a .500 OPS for 2 months, and don’t look now, he’s over .700 OPS….He’s from a D3 school….Represents, Great Brittan in WBC. Give him a shot!
Also Ixan Henderson should get a shot as well.
TB did a great job of making that ballpark seem like a non-minor league ballpark
Gorman hitting .288 with a .428 OBP in August. Not too shabby
And the mets lost. You never know, still 30+ games left to get in
Cardinals!
Church has had one weird start to his MLB career! Hitting the ball squarely here and there, but cant buy a hit. Doing everything else to help this team win, though. I bet he’s getting a ton of respect and help in the clubhouse. He’s gonna feel great when he finally hits a gapper.
