    I am deleting everything that even vaguely references or touches upon this line of discussion shut the f*** up

    You started it tonight. You are on ban watch

    I f***ing hate all of you losers

    This is not how you go about this type of data analysis Look at extreme fly ball hitters over large sample sizes. The effect is clear. Joey Gallo being the obvious example. .260 career BABIP despite being fast and hitting the ball hard as f***. These afflicted players can still have extremely good seasons, through variance. Yeah Martinez' .216 BABIP might be partially bad luck but the story is the same this season whether he's hitting .199 or .235, really. Either way he looks like a guy with an approach and contact issues that MLB pitchers can PROBABLY exploit to the point of failure. Unless he makes a big change. Also, completely different consideration with Volpe. His statistical context is not the same. You can say with Volpe that if he had a better trajectory on his batted balls he'd be a f***ing .300/.400/.500 hitter. I mean he has the K-BB and power skills to hit .300 and BABIP .320 in the minors, clearly. So yeah you've identified Volpe's problem; the reason he has a 122 wRC+ and not a 150.

    Nah man it's the shape of his swing. Unfortunately. The K's are somewhat related to that too. He must have a massive uppercut. Like, legendary golf style home run swing. If he can tweak his mechanics a bit and not have such a crazy uppercut then maybe the babip and K rate both improve.

    That's how some people think about it but I don't know of that has statistical justification. I know Eno Sarris mentions that all the time so if you listen to Rates and Barrels that might be where you heard it

    Hmmmm they'd still be in Toronto probably
  8. Laika
    They have batted ball stats for minors on FG. He's an extreme FB guy. It's like the Adam Duvall or Joey Gallo school of hitting. So it's not the good kind of extreme FB like Trout where it's liners and flyballs. It's flyballs and pop ups.
  9. Laika
    He'll basically be Matt Chapman without the elite elite D
  10. Laika
    Worst defensive team display I have seen in a long time
  11. Laika
    It's too late to take off at that point. Basically you are saying he should have read off the bat that the fielder didn't have an easy play. Impossible
  12. Laika
    That is a f***ing stupid question lmao
  13. Laika
    Nah that was a tough read

    She's struggling. It's gonna slip away if she doesn't get on track.

    Let's not do this s***

    Tune up for Ricky before he gets his promotion to the MLB pen to finish out the year.
  18. Laika
    I wonder if that history is the main reason Dante Sr stopped being around the team
  19. Laika
    The Rockies made him into an extreme slap.hitter but coming up the scouting reports always said he had a bit of pop This is BP December 2014 "The Tools: 6+ potential hit; 5 potential power; 5+ run; 5+ potential glove; 6 arm"
  20. Laika
    I'm not even sure Tapia improved on anything significant. Seems like his ground balls are just finding holes now haha Ah nvm they've actually got him hitting the ball harder. That explains things.
  21. Laika
    They turn some guaranteed money into essentially an option. It did shed a bit of guaranteed money.

    Grichuk will cruise past 40 homers - Jim le cuck
  23. Laika
    The Rocket's baseball IQ is off the charts. Him deking out Durran tonight to turn a FB into a grand slam was legendary
  24. Laika
    Yeah probably
