Fucking crushed that last one. Soler's looking really good the last few days.

Could be a good way to honor Kyle's memory all season long.

This week would be a good time for him to further solidify his status as a Cardinal Killer (.986 regular season OPS to go along with his 2.341 postseason)

Anything less than Vlad Guerrero will just disappoint SKO.

Vlad's career OPS against STL was .865, so as long as Jorge keeps it up we'll be good here.

Your misdirection play of not taking my butthurt bait has me all discombobulated.

Of all of the memes I've had foisted on me, "said Jorge Soler has to be Vladimir Guerrero" is not one I'm going to bother getting butthurt about. Mostly because I'm young and dumb enough to think Jorge could still do that. As long as he lays off the sliders down and away the sky is the limit for George.

I'd like to see some data on how he's doing with that. His at bats seem greatly improved since the first couple of games. I hope I'm right. Fung with sample sizes and shit but he's only got one K in his last 20 PAs. I like stuff.

Seems to me that he's still prone to hack away at that shit early in the at-bat, but manages to battle back, Kris Bryant-style.

Well in his last six games he's struck out once, with four walks, and a 1.071 OPS. His BABIP is only .308 in that time, which is actually kind of low for him so based on this 100% authoritative 20 PA sample size I declare that Jorge is now the unstoppable monster we have always dreamed he'd become.

Per fangraphs he's actually chasing more pitches outside the zone this year than last year, but he's making more contact overall, so in true Vlad Guerrero fashion it seems he's not necessarily being more discerning so much as he is just getting better at hitting whatever he swings at.

Cutting down that K rate would be the single biggest thing he could do to fulfill some of those star-level projections (assuming he can make a similar quality of contact). 25% is probably the area where he's a consistently useful player. Down around 20% would be bonertime.

That grounder Soler hit in the 7th was off the bat at 115 mph. If he could consistently get some air under that...look out for errant boners.

Also his line out to CF was hit on the screws.  It reached The CF in like a second and a half.

Few things are more enjoyable than Soler's Frozen Ropes, my goodness.

Yeah in my book the man hit an RBI double. If you hit the ball 115 mph you absolutely deserve to end up with 2 bags after the shortstop shits himself.

I was laughing at how much that ground ball ate Diaz alive. Jorge barreling up on a ball makes me all tingly in my man parts.

I laughed at the errant throw but I don't blame the dude at all for fucking that up. If something was hit at me 115 mph there's no way in hell I'd try and square that shit up. I'd have let that thing roll to the fucking wall.
