This is why Khris Davis doesn't play the OF.

Khris Davis is really bad in the outfield bro.

 

lol... point taken, but comparing his fwar to MIF doesn't sit right with me.

[Spanky__99]

Is Nick Anderson any bueno en el juego de pelota?

 

9.2IP, 20 Ks

 

Looks that way Ang.

Why not? Is there anything about fWAR that makes it inherently bad for comparing value provided by players of different positions?

Yeah, I guess it wouldn't, does anyone know the value of a Win now, is it in the 9m range per?

 

EDIT: Anyone?

Darvish 1st 3 batter today:

Single, HR, HR

[Angrioter]

Darvish 9 balls in a row against 7,8 y 9th hitters

[Krylian]

Darvish 9 balls in a row against 7,8 y 9th hitters

 

Still not SRF bad.

Did he hit anyone in the cock?

WAR is WAR, it is meant to compare player, even though we know that players aren't paid by WAR. I love Khrush, and think it's great that he wants to stay in Oakland. But the deal itself was very fair, and I was pointing out that people's reaction to the deal is based more on Fantasy perceptions to reality. If you believe in fWAR (and I do) than those names I mentioned are the people in Khrush's real life comparables over the past 4 years.

 

 

P.S. Judge left today's game with what might be an oblique injury

Yeah, I see where you were going with that now, I blame the devils lettuce, also I just signed back on to post the injury, definitely the oblique.

[Spanky__99]

I wonder if the Pirates are good. They have a lot of talent that is coming quickly. Cole Tucker dinger in first game. Reynolds could be good. Ke'Bryan Hayes is lurking (probably better than Kang already with just the glove factored in).

 

5 competent SPs so far and Burdi/Vasquez at the back.

 

My team, bro... they also lost 2 games on a cross up 2 nights straight, ughhh.

[tbad]

 

Angels are such a bad team... Pujols is the worst contract of all time.

[Spanky__99]

 

Why are they saying soon, I've read the second week in May at the earliest. Weird.

[tbad]

Yelich has activated god-mode in his real-life video game.

[tbad]

Was any signing more baffling / confusing / dumbfounding than Eric Hosmer's??? I mean Pujols was bad but nobody could have predicted such massive decline so quickly... Hosmer's has to be the absolute dumbest big contract signing of all time.

 

No defense + no legs + fluky BABIP season = mega contract

[tbad]

Trout must not care at all about being on a winning team to sell himself out for a decade of loserville...

He's up there.

That’s pictures of Ohtani’s first bullpen batting practice. TBF May is only just over a week away too!

[BlueRocky]

And.. Aaron Judge exits game with oblique injury.

 

Their injured list can field an A ball rehab roster.

[G-Snarls]

Yelich has activated god-mode in his real-life video game.

 

13 home runs already

 

Torrid pace

 

Only one shy of the before-May 1 HR record set by Pujols and ARod. With 9 games left in April.

[P2F]

Just gonna leave this here.

[Brownie19]

Is Lewis Brinson broken?

 

There must be a few people within the Marlin's FO who cry in the corner of their office on a daily basis.

He's mastering hitting... the way he controls his arms, legs, and body while hitting... it's unreal...

I think they were trying to overhaul his swing this spring. He's still only 24 though, still time to work things out. He might be a guy who needs to go to a different organization to get fixed (like the Rays).

Was Lewis Brinson ever any good? Why anyone would’ve accepted him as a return for anything is beyond me

Yes, he just hasn't figured it out at the major league level yet. When he was traded, he was a top 20 prospect in the same tier as guys like Albies, Devers, Frazier, Gleyber Torres, Adames, etc.

[onwego]

listening to the Dodgers/Brewers game while at the office today.

 

Birthday Boy Joc Pederson led off with a home run and has hit another in the 4th, and a single in the second so far....

[P2F]

Jose Leclerc is on the verge of imploding against Houston in the 9th.

 

Four walks in the inning. Bases loaded, two outs. It's 11-10 for Texas. Leclerc is now being removed.

 

Edit: Shawn Kelley struck out Robinson Chirinos to close it out. What a finish!
