Flexen is a guy who can’t blow you away, so just sit soft and adjust to the fastball if needed. That should be the approach
-
Guess Vlad used up his one good swing decision per game already
-
What a f***ing idiot
-
Vlad won’t see a fastball unless it’s way out of the zone, sit soft
-
You’re right, shoulda said getting good results is much easier, not hitting in general.
-
Two pop-ups from the Babe. Not cool bro
-
Getting good results is hard, having the right mental approach is easy
-
Davis having trouble picking up the slider
-
I think Schneider hits a double here
-
It’s almost like hitting is much easier when you swing at pitches that aren’t on the border of the zone…who woulda thought
-
Hey look at that, KK swings at a good pitch to hit, gets good result.
-
Clement, swings at borderline pitch…
-
Some really bad swings so far through 2 innings. Springer, Schneider, Varsho….all swinging at borderline/bad pitches
-
It’s like we all raped puppies in previous lives and this is our punishment.
-
Ah f***…just realized Angel Hernandez is the HP ump. Might not be able to watch this game much longer
-
Even though it was a loud out…at least he finally swung at the right pitch with the right intentions.
-
Didn’t hit it squarely, only 95 off the bat
-
Excellent approach by Vlad for a change, unlucky
-
Bad approach by Springer….no reason to swing at outer edge fastballs in a 2-0 count
-
No, but they should. I think you said that earlier. Laika provided a very basic beginning of what you’d need to do to make one, although that would really only tell you how much better than league average a guy is from one year to the next at stealing total bases, it wouldn’t take success rate into account or provide any insight into the run values associated In fact, the more I think about it, SB+ really isn’t all that important in the grand scheme of things

I’ve only been to a few but…going by experience and then reputation… San Fran, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Colorado, Seattle and Minnesota would be my top picks. -
That’s what the SB+ metric would be for. To compare the years to each other as to what was exceptional in one year vs the next. Thats where the + comes in.

Not really a name on any lists anywhere but OF/IF Devonte Brown was just moved up to New Hampshire from Vancouver. Probably temporary with the shuffling they had to do with the injuries to Bo and Chappy, but hard not to root for the guy. He was passed on in the 2022 draft after his college career was over and the Jays were the only team to make him an offer. He's 23, and 5'9" 207. Sounds like the OF version of Davis Schneider physically. Not an outstanding year at Vancouver but he does have 14 HRs. Went 1-3 with a double, walk and a K in his first game at AA Can't be anything but impressed by a guy to make AA in his second MiLB season after being a non drafted player. He's played all 3 OF positions and even a bit of 2b and 1b. Heplayed some 3b in college but not yet in MiLB.

At this rate the playoffs won't be not easy to maybe make about 50% of the time

Yea Bo is an anomaly for sure. His ability to put bat to ball in weird ways is pretty unique. He's a guy who's overall value is very much tied to his babip. Once that goes, he goes.
