Unbelievable that fangraphs has Lawrie rated as a negative defender this year.

[Convo]

Sierra you sexy beast you

[gruber92]

Uhh

 

I'd don't know,you told me to stop. Stop what,watching the game? Did it make sense to leave DeRosa in to hit against the righty and then bring Goins in defensively?

[gruber92]

Stop sucking Goins cock

 

You actually left the Vancouver playoff thread unmanned?

[Convo]

Its actually astonishing how bad JPA is. In his career he's now at -19.4 fielding runs, -5.7 uBR, an 82 wRC+, and allegedly awful framing. Dude has a 68 wRC+ this year. Just an awful, awful player.

 

Wonder what the chance of him being our full-time catcher again next season is?

[gruber92]

They may still lose this one yet.

[Laika]

He's probably the worst player to ever hit 20 HR... that might be an interesting list to make

 

Ruben Sierra, 1993. According to Fangraphs at least.

 

.233/.288 with 22 HR, 101 RBI, and 25 SB. -25 fielding runs!

 

Worst 20 HR season ever. Worst 100 RBI season ever. Worst 25 SB season ever. Worst 20/20 season ever.

 

-2.6 fWAR

 

1999 Dante Bichette: 34 HR, -2.1 fWAR (this is a f***ing insane statistical season. .379 wOBA and only a 100 wRC+, cuz Coors field.)

1990 Joe Carter: 20 HR, -2.0 fWAR

[Convo]

IMO <50%. I don't think C will be addressed. I don't even think they're aware it's an issue.

 

Rather unfortunate, hard to imagine this team being able to compete with all the sub par baseball skills JPA brings to the table (in particular to the pitching staff).

[Convo]

Rajai always thinks he's Babe Ruth after hitting a HR, ends up ruining his approach for days/weeks after

[Convo]

Edwing

[Abomination]

Man that was a short swing by Eddie. Very pretty.

[Abomination]

Lind is going to see nothing but lefties late in games the rest of the season with the expanded rosters.

[Convo]

Holy fack was that chick hot. She looked pissed though. BF not getting it done.

 

Agreed.

[Convo]

Sierra monster night

[John_Havok]

Probably yes.

 

Interesting fact, there are 34 pitchers(with minimum 30 PA) with a higher WAR than JPA, using nothing but their hitting and defense numbers.

[Abomination]

It'll be interesting to see Jeffress in the 9th. He was putting up big numbers in AAA.

[Daniel Labude]

I finally got some points....heck yeah sierra!

[Dylan]

Lots of points for the FHRC! Finally!!

[Convo]

Imagine Sierra had the brain and ambition of a player like Reyes, could really be something

[John_Havok]

It'll be interesting to see Jeffress in the 9th. He was putting up big numbers in AAA.

 

Was thinking the same thing, but gibbons puts in Loup on back to back nights rather than going with a fresh arm...

[Abomination]

It'll be interesting to see Jeffress in the 9th. He was putting up big numbers in AAA.

 

Or maybe that'll have to wait.

[Dylan]

Well done jays..

[Dylan]

Watch them score 10 runs.

 

Predictable team being predictable.
