Can Lindor get to 30-30?

He's got 23 homers and 21 steals. Seven homers in about six weeks is tough, but he's on a tear. Batting between Nimmo and McNeil, he's got some protection. He's getting on base enough to try for the bags if he stays hot. What do you think?

I'm not sure it's where his focus is, but it's certainly in play. I think it's been a weird year, as base-stealing is spiking around the league — as was the goal — but teams and managers haven't yet fully re-learned how to translate the stolen base into runs.

If teams can't convert stolen bases into runs, blame the hitters, not the thieves. Anyways, Lindor is stealing 'em at a 90%+ clip this year.

I didn't blame the thieves.

I know. My point was that there's no mystery if stolen bases aren't translating into runs. It's from lack if hitting or timely hitting. Which is either randomness or a lack of hitting

I mean, there's not much to figure out here: get hits with RISP and the runs will follow.

It's going to take some time for these players to relearn situational hitting, and forget all of the analytics crap.

Stolen base #22, 8/22.

Lindor had a bone spur removed in his right elbow, expected to be ready for Spring Training, his wife has another bone to pick though [TWEET]https://twitter.com/RegueroKatia/status/1712130998777909314[/TWEET]
