Currently, Lind sports a .411 wOBA, 2nd among all 1Bs and ahead of beasts like Joey Votto, Goldschmidt, and Fielder. How the f*** did that happen?

Lol at Chris Davis. Seriously, what... the... f***. wOBA of .454 and wRC+ of 191. That's disgusting.

[TRM]

You've really done it this time.

[Dr. Dinger]

You've really done it this time.

 

We came full circle. Personally, I see the beauty in that.

and Lind is hitting left handers better than right handers...small sample size...but how did that happen

You answered your own question. It's off like 15 AB's or something

I can't believe you have done this

Actually I think this is a big part of it. Mottola changed Lind's stance and made him more upright and balanced. He's staying on everything well (even against lefties WTF?) and using the whole field. This is the Adam Lind we saw in 2009, but with an even better BB rate.

The sample size is indeed small, but he's passing the eye test as far as being a viable hitter against LHP this year, something that was unthinkable coming into the season.

Health probably has something to do with it

 

This is getting silly now

[Chappy]

At his price tag, if he keeps this up he will be an epic steal.

This is what watchint Chris Davis everynight as an Os fan must feel

Just a matter of time before ECJF makes his "Playoffs will be easy to make thread".

yep , finally got a hitting coach and look at the results in not only Lind

[Dr. Dinger]

Make that a .419 wOBA for Lind. f***ing crazy.

Watching Chris Davis as a dynasty owner brings tears of joy to my eyes on a weekly basis.

25 at bats....Lind could go 0 for 15 against lefties bringing it up to 40 at bats, which is a bit more material...and he would still be hitting .300. Lind is simply a different hitter.

[ElNik2013]

This thread would probably work as a jinx, but Lind's jinx-proof right now!

now, yes

[Dr. Dinger]

Lind's balance was just so nice on that HR cut, wow. Last year he had all his weight on his back foot and his weight transfer was slow as f***. He was lunging and pulling off on everything. Goddamn that swing is a thing of beauty when he's confident and seeing the ball well.

[Anemic0ffense]

All of a sudden, Lind doesn't look so bad in that cleanup spot

[Metallijay]

I said awhile ago he should start full time, I was laughed at... He has a totally different approach and stance, easy, simple swing, he is on everything. he looks like Olerud when he put it all together. He always had talent to be a great hitter and he is really on fire right now.

[Anemic0ffense]

Lind hitting .446 with 4HR and 13RBI this month

 

Inhuman

[guylaroche5]

how many ABs does lind need to be considered for the batting title?

[dineke]

Nice to have Lind's dick enlodged firmly into everyone's mouth like 4 years ago.

If Lind's numbers are legit, it make you wonder how f***ing bad our previous hitting coach mustve been

He was downright awful.

I mean the guy blatently said OBP is useless.
