It's as if we've traded Kevin Newman instead. Speaking of which, since Frazier's trade, Newman is slashing .274/.308/.452
What is amazing is that he has so many better players around him. It could be that there was no pressure playing in PGH. Now he is in a pennant race. Something he has never experienced
I think some players feel pressure to perform well for their new team and mess themselves up over it. Joey Gallo was only hitting .223 for Texas but had 25 HRs in 310 ABs (1 every 12.4 ABs). Since the trade to the Yankees he's hit .143 with 4 HRs in 84 ABs (1 every 21 ABs). And he's in the middle of a lineup with Rizzo, Stanton and Judge. If anything he should be doing better for NY than for Texas. Just As Frazier is in a better lineup with SD. I guess they put a lot of pressure on themselves.
Frazier was 1-6 last night against the Dodgers
Since joining the Padres about a month ago Frazier is hitting.227. He is still slightly over .300 for the season.

Josh Bell has his average up to .253 with 23 homers and 74 rbi. He is having a respectable season.

Cutch drives in 4, gets the rally going with a bases loaded clearing double to make the score 6-3 as the Phil's come back from a 6-0 deficit to win 7-6.

Gerrit Cole strikes out 15 and fans Angels' Shohei Ohtani three times to snap Yankees' four-game skid.

Cutch hits number 24 today

Austin Meadows hits number 24 today

As Dirty Harry Callahan used to mutter under his breath- "Wonderful."



Bad enough that I had to hear about The Bay Trade for a few years.  I'm gonna hear about THIS for at least fifteen.



More than that if you count the five plus years before the Hall Of Fame.



People wonder why I'm in such a foul mood.
