    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/how-hitters-are-fighting-back-against-rising-strikeouts/ I thought that was a decent read. One issue I see is the Jays have a lot of guys who are free swingers [Randel, Teo, Drury, Galvis, Urena, Gurriel, McKinney (the version we got it seems)]. It seemed at the time that as long as they hit the ball hard - they could still produce and it didn't matter that they had no eye at the plate. However, as pitchers continue to improve - this could be a pretty significant issue for these types of hitters...they may fall behind as hitters with more patient lay off the increase/improved offspeed pitches and make pitchers bring the ball in the zone where they can handle it.

    Is that because Kirk is on it?

    Shorter outings (avoiding 3rd time through the order) for starters, combined with higher usage for relievers - combined with good old fashion luck would be my guess.

    So juiced balls at the MLB level...they're using those juiced balls in AAA now and offense is exploding. I guess this would explain why some hitters are hitting better at the MLB level than they did in AA/AAA? or at least why there's less of a drop off (better pitching/defense will counter the results of the juicier ball). On the flip side. AA & AAA should be getting destroyed... Interesting stuff guys - thanks for learning me. That's why I'm here.

    I wish they'd start listing wRC+ and WAR with the players stats on TV (when they show avg, hr & rbi prior to their at bats)....why the f*** not?

    Tabby - don't talk. f***.

    Whenever I bring up the suggestion that we retain some non-dinosaurs who could start to introduce casuals to advanced stats I get told that fans don't want that - the want stories (whether coherent or not) and people saying they like Buck. Please let us follow the Astros/Rays lead. I f***ing hate these 2 twits.

    Simmon's is fantastic. The Angels lineup is f***ing horrid.
  9. Brownie19
    f*** that. At the way players are striking out and hitting into shifts - without a juiced ball, we'll be back in the dead ball era with no offense. It would be s*** to watch.
  10. Brownie19
    Help the dumb guy out - they are now using MLB balls in AAA and it's created more offense. What the f*** were they using instead? Are they using a lower CC ball in the lower minors?
  11. Brownie19
    Fair points by you and Spank. Franco just has a lot better peripheral stats (K/BB ratio, ISO, lower BABIP). I mean I'm not surprised - I LOVE Groshans, but Franco is at another level altogether.
  12. Brownie19
    Wander also doesn't have an obscene BABIP propping up his numbers...
  13. Brownie19
    To be fair - the Rays haven't fixed Zunino's bat yet....although his K% has dropped quite a bit so far.
  14. Brownie19
    I guess Montoyo thinks that even after sitting all those games - Galvis' bat is still 'hot'. Vlady 2nd, Galvis 8th and you've got this figured out Charlie.

    Who the f*** follows Arash? You looking for cooking tips?
  16. Brownie19
    My mom wouldn't even vote me Poster of the Year. I'm s***. I'm just happy you guys let me lurk here.

    Who the f*** eats unsalted sunflower seeds?

    In 26 1/3 innings, MacKenzie Gore has an ERA of 1.37, and he's struck out 38 hitters with just 4 walks.
  19. Brownie19
    Warmoth has a pulse. 6 game hit streak. 109 wRC+ on the season now.
  20. Brownie19
    It would be pretty awesome this continued for Forrest. We sure could use some viable option in the OF. A burner in CF with OBP chops and a reasonable K%? Sign me up.
  21. Brownie19
    Our AAA pitchers have been awful. 4 pitchers have combined for over 41 innings with an ERA over 11! (SRF and Danny Barnes are 2 of the 4) I've never really heard of Dusty Isaacs, but he's been great this year (13 2/3 innings, 5 hits allowed, 2 BB, 19 K). Looks like he's always missed bats, but struggled with control. Hopefully he's found something.
  22. Brownie19
    I guess to be fair, you'd also have to factor in the # of times that you end up bunting for a base hit or reach on an error.
  23. Brownie19
    Ah - that was one I was looking at. I think I was too dumb to understand that chart though (just figured out what 010 0 means!)
  24. Brownie19
    To be fair, that table also needs to be updated to reflect the increased K% and decreasing BABIP around the league. I have to assume teams have the current info.
  25. Brownie19
    Rays call up Nate Lowe. Rays are good.
