Just wanted to publicly thank Dominic for the great cards I received as a prize for winning his Christian Yelich home run contest. It was a fun game and a very generous prize. I PC Yelich, so the prize was even more appreciated, and they were all cards I needed, too!
I follow the Marlins anyway, but the contest gave me a little more of a vested interest as to the viewing of the daily box score. Thanks for keeping things interesting here on the Beckett Baseball forum. It's members, like Dominic, that make this place a great community. Thanks, buddy!

Of course Mitch! As much as I value you as a trading buddy/forum member, I was really hoping you didn't win hahahaha (only due to your guess of 60 at-bats... was hoping to get the contest done during the first week!).

Yeah, as a fellow Yelich fan, I felt like a rat-fink guessing at such a high number and I was conflicted, wanting to win since I PC him, but also wanting to see him be successful and kick butt. Lets face it, as long as he keeps getting on base and Staton keeps hitting dingers, Yelich doesn't need high HR numbers.
The Marlins just need to go on a huge win streak against the NL East teams.
Thanks again!

He's too talented to keep going the way he has. His .babip is almost 100 points lower than his previous years totals, so I think it is a combination of bad luck (his line drive rate and other #'s are about the same, he is just hitting it directly to people) + his back injury (some funky swings not catching up to balls leading to a higher k rate) + trying to push his way through the funk (lower walk rate + he was quoted as saying that he had "never felt this awful" while on the field and a bunch of other disparaging crap).

He'll pick up eventually. Hit me up if you are looking for any more. I'd of course love some yelich/bregman in return, but am also just looking to diversify my trade bait.

Great gesture from a great member.
