For the tankers, Houston needs to finish the job today. Houston and Seattle need to put pressure on Detroit, so Detroit is playing all out to win next weekend.

Didn't realize scorekeepers could change rulings this late.

Olson seems to have found his power swing lately.

Drop the really, and I'll agree with good. Olson needs to be 35-40 hrs a season

Of course, De Los Santos strikes out 3 batters in his 1 inning of work against the Braves.

What a post!
Quit embarassing yourself. He's had a really good year.

Here we go again arguing on subjective crap. He had a good offensive season, and a great defensive season. Career low (throwing out rookie season) in iso. We need 35-40 hrs from him
He's been argubally the best 1B in baseball this year. Just stop.
Also I'm pretty sure the new baseballs are causing his ISO to be down the last two years. Since 2016 the 3 lowest ISO seasons league wide are 2025, 2024, and 2022. Olson notably has way lower ISO in those seasons as well. His HR/FB % backs that up as well. He's not gonna be a 40 HR guy with these new balls. Still a top tier 1B.

Career iso - .249, this season - .195
Career ops - .857, this season - .833
Career slg - .506, this season - .466
Career babip - .289, this season - .336
He's hit fly balls at a career low rate this season and ground balls at a career high. It's no accident the power is down. He needs to go back to hitting the ball in the air.
I'll stand by it was a good season, but hardly great according to his baseball card. His offense needs to be hr based. Yall acting like saying it was a good season is an insult. 2023 was a great season for him.

2023 was a record breaking season and the best he will ever have. Expecting that to be the norm is wild.
I guess being the best 1B in baseball isn't good enough for you.
