This is how you guys look to the outside world btw loll.  

Delete this. Cutting your username off the top of that screenshot isn't enough from it leading people straight to your Reddit profile. 

I just took a gander and you are a pretty prolific poster there which explains a lot tbh. It's full of very highly regarded dumbasses who don't know a thing about ball. I'm sure you fit right in.

Exactly.  If you prefer the conversation there better - than just stay there.

@Jays24- are you trying to show us their responses to prove just show smart and accepted your views are?  That's really sad.  I think it's widely known and accepted that places like Reddit and Facebook are full of ignorant fans who know little to nothing about the game.  If you enjoy that environment, then I'm happy for you, but don't misconstrue that as evidence that you're right and we're wrong.

I think you may be overestimating how much people value and appreciate your contributions here.

Jays24 is really demonstrating some twisted logic here, am I right?

Lauer stinks he's just getting lucky. With the Dodgers he's got a .195 BABIP and a 89.4% LOB. 

His FIP is over 5 and that's right where his projections are too.

 

Its hilarious seeing casual fans fail to grasp this concept.

Lauer with the Dodgers:

89 Stuff+, 104 Location+, 90 Pitching+

The fact that he is running a .195 BABIP and near 90% LOB% is pure fluke. He does not have the measured stuff to suggest that he has this magical ability to prevent base-hits. The guy is running a 38% GB rate as well in his sample with the Dodgers, so its not like he is some weak groundball machine.

The fans who today fail to realize that Lauer's BABIP is unsustainable are the same people who believed that Hoffman's .500+ BABIP was a real thing several months ago.
