I really wanted Baty to succeed this time but I’m thinking this experiment may be coming to an end. He’s always 0-2 and nobody can hit in that count. Nimmo makes me a little nervous too. Is he a .220 hitter now?

I'd be curious to know how many times this year Baty has swung on the first pitch...which is often the best pitch to hit that he sees.

To be fair to Megill, you should have put unearned in the post below. And notes, that he did a great job getting out of trouble without his best stuff.

RHP Tylor Megill struggled with his command after allowing two UNEARNED runs on six hits with three walks and seven strikeouts in four innings of work

Ouch! Painful day for a Baty and Megill fan like me. Megill's runs were unearned so his era is still below 1.

It wasn't based on yesterday, otherwise it would have been a two. It also takes into account some of his regression last year. That's why Baty is a nine, because we've seen this too many times before with him. I also stressed in the Díaz section that let's revisit this in June / July

I agree, he's been fine up until yesterday.
