Ian Happ-ens To Make Me Tingle

[Shooter]

The way they're using him, it doesn't feel like he's going right back to Iowa.

[WTB...A RING FFS!!]

2nd bomb in 3 games along with another BB, seems like he's not too shabby at the plate.

I mean when Heyward comes back they can just demote Candelario.

If by "demote" you mean "Make him part of the package that brings Yu Darvish to the Cubs", then yeah.

He should be driving Schwarber back to Iowa. Not done baking.

Send the entire roster down to Iowa, and bring their entire roster up. That'll teach 'em a lesson!!

Sometimes guys struggle at the major league level and learn to adjust to how MLB pitchers are going to pitch them, because AAA has nothing left to teach them. Oh hey Javy what's up

Happ had a very short stay in AAA, he might be better served with another one. That 37.9% K rate is butt-ugly.

Exactly. 116 PAs in AAA and another 274 in AA. He's not ready. That last strike out yesterday even made Javy cringe. He's pressing on a team that's underperforming.  Bad combo.

Len and JD were talking about how Happ murders first pitches, but it looks like 0-1 counts aren't exactly safe either.

I'd also say 2-0 counts, but that's probably true for anybody.

ETA: First link B-A gave me was for Barroid's splits. Foreshadowing?

Since Chuck posted this Schwarber has a 110 wRC+ and 5 dingers. Happ has a 120 wRC+ and 6 dingers. Both are still having some trouble hitting for average but overall I'd say Chuck is fucking wrong.

Happ's K rate is even trending down. But even if they were to get sent down, who would be brought up in their stead?

There was some brave, handsome, bearded fellow making these arguments a few weeks ago but Chuck wanted to throw a hissy fit and stomp his feet and scream DO SOMETHING like his best friend Yellon, so that noble voice was ignored.
