    LOL - f*** off. I bet if Lenny Randle tried that 10 more times he wouldn't hit another that perfect to completely blow up the pitcher.
  2. Brownie19
    Ah. I tried to eliminate him from my memory.

    Who's lunchbox?

    I've never seen this before. It is glorious. I searched Lenny Randle and he was also the guy who 'blew' a bunt foul on astroturf. Quite a career!

    Ha - I remember hearing about this kid now. https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/person-interest-blaze-jordan-next-bryce-harper/

    Yordan Alvarez now has 21 HRs and 62 RBI in 60 games (257 PA's). wRC+ of 190. wRC+ by month is 193, 178 and 198 (June, July, August) Nobody has had any success making adjustments on him. He's a beast who just turned 22.

    How much is Anthony Rendon getting this offseason? 6 years, $180M? This guy is a stud. I know we need pitching and I know we all believe the team won't want to move Vlad to 1st right away, but...

    I think the only argument is in re-draft leagues. Yelich has been better than Trout in every traditional category except HRs (where he's 1 behind). Bellinger has also tied or topped Trout in every category. Acuna would also get consideration for his 40/40 potential. But in a keeper? There's no doubt that Trout is the only choice for #1.

    I don't doubt you one bit, but I'm familiar with clutch scores. I was just looking at wRC+ with the bases empty, men on base and men in scoring position. He's been consistently better with MOB and MISP since 2016. 2019: Empty - 82, MOB - 176, MISP - 187 2018: Empty - 112, MOB - 165, MISP - 143 2017: Empty - 141, MOB - 171, MISP - 154 2016: Empty - 99, MOB - 124, MISP - 127 2015: Empty - 199, MOB - 195, MISP - 163 2014 was pretty ugly with MOB, MISP....maybe he practiced a lot to be better at this 'skill'

    Discrediting WAR because clutch hitting 'may' be real (and that isn't accounted for in WAR) seems incredibly stupid. Prove that 'clutch' hitting is a talent, develop a way to measure it and then suggest it should be added in the WAR calculation. It's my recollection that success with runners on base, runners in scoring position, high leverage situations, etc. generally varies widely from year to year, which suggests it's not a talent. Nobody goes into the offseason with a goal of working on and improving their hitting with runners in scoring position. Nobody 'works' on being a better RBI guy. That said - there are always a few hitters who consistently hit better with runners on base, runners in scoring position, high leverage situations, etc. Harper appears to be that type of guy. I believe Big Papi was also. Poking holes in a stat based on a couple of outliers is pretty dumb - especially when it's pretty obvious that all stats have certain flaws.

    Agree with this. I can't imagine they will worry about Super 2.
  13. Brownie19
    All good points. Maybe David Fletcher is a comp?
  14. Brownie19
    In the VERY best case - Sanchez in the 2020 pen could have become Chris Martin or a Mark Melancon. Firstly, you've have to pay Sanchez $4-$5M to see if he could be that good and secondly, those guys didn't return anything of value as rentals anyway (Melancon has 1 year of control left). Fisher has warts, but keeping Sanchez and making him good out of the pen (if that's still possible) wasn't going to net you some stud prospect either man.

    Isn't he a SS? Wouldn't his defense be well above Pedroia's? Also - without any power, won't his BB% drop significantly in the majors?
  16. Brownie19
    What do we think Nick Madrigal will be? The 22 year old has gone from A+ to AA to AAA now. wRC+ of 150 in AA (180 PA's), but otherwise it's always been like 105-115. Great contact hitter, but almost no power at all. Good defense, good speed. Anyone have a good comp? Would you be happy if the Jays got a player like this with the 4th overall pick?
  17. Brownie19
    August wRC+ numbers Vlad - 198 Bo - 151 Jansen - 121 Grichuk - 144 Teo - 109 (158 in July) McKinney - 154 McGuire - 115 Add in a healthy Gurriel and squint when you look at Biggio's plate discipline, hard hit %, LD%, etc. and it's not that difficult to see why the media, who've had to endure this god awful season, are going to talk up this offense. Also - Outside of Vlad and Bo - you're saying the offense hit s***** pitching and didn't succeed v. Kershaw, Buehler and Meada? Stop the f***ing press! Next on the 6 pm news. New research has confirmed that water is wet.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/bo-bichette-is-walloping-the-baseball/ gotta love this kid.

    Tellez has always had relatively high BB% and relatively low K% for a power hitter. I'm not sure he needs an 18% BB rate to be good, but he does need to close the gap. 8-9% BB and 18-20% K would really make things interesting.
  20. Brownie19
    Spring Training 2020 - "Vlad is in the best shape of his life" 100% chance we hear that s*** next spring.
  21. Brownie19
    Correa back to the DL. Is he the new Tulo?
  22. Brownie19
    Great news is that the 'dad bod' is all the rage. What a lucky time to be a slightly overweight dad in his late 30's.
  23. Brownie19
    Yeah that slider was a cement mixer. The velo difference helps though.
  24. Brownie19
    Hey Smoak....field the ball man! You don't see him make mistakes often but that was brutal. That was hit right at him and he just broke for 1st
  25. Brownie19
    All fair points. My intent wasn't to suggest Fisher = Davis at all. It was simply to ask if we already had someone in our org with talent who's never really been given any type of sustained chance at the ML level. I realize he's always been 'old' for the level, but if he can give you 90-95 wRC+, he's probably Kevin Pillar.
