    one run is enough for Bieber.

    Kirk hasn't had a bat plate appearance in.... a long time.
  4. Laika
    IMPORTANT UPDATE: Chuckie Macadoo and Dazzy Cameron each struckout on three pitches to begin the game. HOT f***ING HANDS LADS HOT HANDS

    negative zero point one WAR in 87 games

    Ernie is sick so whatever But Okamoto leads the team in dingers. You guys don't want to possible give him one extra chance at a homer today?
  7. Laika
    I demand more dumb s***.
  8. Laika
    Well if they are going to throw projections out the window and just prioritize "hot hands" and s*** then why the f*** is Jesus Sanchez even on the team?
  9. Laika
    hot hand fallacy lol

    Baseball is funny. Ernie has been a consistent hitter for a few years for the MLB team. McAdoo gets a few good swings off and the manager and the fans suddenly give the new guy more at bats. High K, high power dudes like Okamoto always slump. The key with them is to just stick with them for the whole year.

    No, Schneider said he had not talked to him about it yet

    Must win game today. I kind of like who is in the lineup, McAdoo and Daz Cameron have been swinging it well and it is nice to not see Jesus Sanchez in there. That being said, pretty stupid to have them 1-2 and Clement and Okamoto are the veterans and we have much more statistical confidence in their abilities. They should be 1-2.

    Someone who has never played baseball before catches that ball easily My mom probably catches that ball I think most dogs would come close to catching that ball A recycling bin in a slight breeze might catch it

    Kirk hit that ball well. Rays shouldn't have even pitched to him. Jesus Sanchez better not survive another night. George Springer sucks Nathan Lukes chokes there as well
  15. Laika
    Jays are up like 6-4 and probably leading the AL if they simply never traded for Jesus Sanchez
  16. Laika
    There is no justification for rostering Jesus Sanchez tomorrow He will not be on the team next year, he is absolutely getting non tendered and has no trade value, he's not helping the team, he's actively damaging them on defense, and his nature is probably driving people crazy. How good can it feel as a pitcher to watch him play defense behind you? Absolute clown
  17. Laika
    Jesus Sanchez should have been DFAd by now holy f***
  18. Laika
    Truly what is the point of these archaic pitching stats like saves holds blown saves wins etc. All so dumb
  19. Laika
    Yes, as a projectable skill my understanding is exactly that. LD rate is like, half stable in a full season worth of data or 600 balls in play. Flyball rate gets there in 80 balls in play. K and Walk rates in 60 and 120 PA respectively. Hard hit rate and barrel rate in like 50 balls in play I think.

    Their odds to win the division are better than to win a wild card slot.
  21. Laika
    Definitely expected, I think, for a fast high GB% guy to outperform their xBA And yes it could be by 10 points or 30 xBA is made to fit perfectly on the Alex Verdugo types
  22. Laika
    I wouldn't comp someone like Bateman to Chandler Use a more normal player. Bateman's MLB sample has some small sample oddities, for sure. His current whiff and chase rates and overall plate discipline may not hold up. I would expect him to start swinging a bit less at some point based on his minor league walk rates. His LA Sweet Spot% right now is very high for his actual batted ball profile. It basically says that most of his balls in the air are falling into that launch angle sweet spot that leads to high averages. If you look at guys with 61% GB rates historically, most of them don't do that. Most have putrid LA Sweet Spot numbers. I would look at guys like Jake McCarthy, Jake Mangum, Jacob Young, Nathan Lukes I think what you see with this kind of player is just wild oscillation in LD rate or whatever, so one year the hits fall in (they get the line drives) and they hit .280 and look like a solid or good player, and then they have a bad BABIP year and they are replacement level.

    Bunt King

    Matt Olson and Freddie Freeman are both very tall and elite, so you would think this is correlated strongly with height, but when you plot it out you can see that there is close to no trend if you ignore those two dudes.

    New stat! Savant 1B Fielding Receiving Leaderboard Basically how effective the 1B is at converting throws into outs. It's not just picks, it's everything. So a measurement of size (wingspan), as well as hands (picks) and athleticism (fielding weird stuff) Vlad sucks. Now, by OAA this is across nearly 6 full seasons so it's not some huge value changed. Vlad is a -2 per year. Shave .2 WAR off his annual WAR values. The elites are +4 or +5 per year but outside of the extremes this does not matter much.
