Hey now, don't speak like that about Blue Jays legend Elvis Andrus. -
That's a perfect play by Biggio.
-
Regarding Joey Murray, they probably just expect to call up Nate within a short timeframe if he shows that he's healthy, and Murray would slot back into the rotation after that. Could also be trying to use him as a multi-inning reliever going forward though I suppose.
-
He was an OF for all of ST.
-
Aroldis Chapman has 24 strikeouts and 3 walks in 10 innings. He continues to have a negative FIP and xFIP. He struck out 2 hitters in the 9th inning and his K/9 went down.
-
He was used as a high leverage reliever in this game lol. We're still winning thanks to him coming in when he did.
-
There's no chance Borucki maintains this velocity as a starter. 3 innings tops. He's also not exactly a known durable commodity.
-
He used to have a rocket but arm injuries ruined him. He throws like a middle schooler now.
-
I mean his main job is teaching defense. He's god awful as a 3B coach though no doubt about that.
-
I... can't tell if you're joking. The sticker was added by the person whose job it is to authenticate the ball.
-
Rare changeup from Thornton, that was a good one.
-
Touche Grant. Got his ass.
-
Travis Bergen is pretty fascinating. He's all fastballs, shades of Sean Doolittle (and to an extent Jake McGee) but clearly not nearly as good.
-
If service time manipulation wasn't a thing Wander Franco would probably have been in the majors 2 years ago.
-
This doesn't disprove your general point, but both Olerud and Pujols were excellent defensively. A -5 def guy is an excellent defender relative to the rest of 1B, because it takes into account the harsh positional penalty since it's a much easier position to field. Pujols from 2006-2008 is basically as good as you'll ever see in terms of defensive value added at first base.
-
If peak Albert Pujols, who was also an elite defender and an above average baserunner wasn't putting up 10 WAR seasons then it's pretty safe to say Vladdy isn't putting up a 12 WAR season lmao. Vladdy's performace isn't sustainable for the fact that he has a >200 wRC+, I'd consider that pretty unsustainable for anyone who isn't 2001-2004 Barry Bonds.
-
Springer just hit a bullet and the fielder didn't even have to move. It's been that kind of game.
-
You f***ing kidding me with these hits? Matz could not be getting more unlucky.
-
That was a changeup down the f***ing middle.
-
Even with that last out, which was a beauty from Bo and Vladdy, Matz nearly got unlucky again. Bunch of groundball singles that inning.
-
On a rate basis he pretty much is. You can't really claim it as fact because 1) defensive stats have error bars and 2) we don't know if his defense would regress (for better or worse) with more PT. Jansen's framing has rated as average but aside from that he's a top 5 defender in the AL by fangraphs and he's caught 20-40 innings fewer than all the guys above him.
-
In the Babe's case he was a pitcher in his early years.
-
"Since at least 1901" just means that's as far back as they have reliable box score data, and no one in 1901 did it either.
-
Can probably guess he's the youngest ever then since obviously no one was hitting 3 homeruns (at least while outfield fences existed) pre-1901 lol.
-
He hasn't pitched that much but Chatwood has been excellent.
