The whole point of my origional post is that I believe Mckinney is a true lead off hitter, the first one we have had since Revere. You have to disagree with two points to disagree with my statement. 1. Ben Revere was not a true lead off hitter and that we have had a true lead off hitter since, up until McKinney. What part of my startement is not correct or factual?

Your stull stuck in the Bill James era like many of the guys on this board. Even Bill James has admitted that there are many flaws in his metrics. The Cubs GM, World Series Winning Cubs, philoshpy is a fusion of both analytics and some old school. Some guys on this board have argued an out is an out. Mileninal Bull s***! A speedy contact hitter that puts the ball and play and does not K at a high rate puts more pressure on the D. Then when he is at 1B puts more pressure in the pitcher, and allows the manager more options. Having this type of hitter come to the plate more frequently and the ability to manufacture a run, ends up paying off. Especially in one run tie games. But go ahead and put some fat ass station to station guy in the lead off spot because he walks a lot and has a higher OPS etc (weighted stat). Lack of a true lead off hitter is a reason AA went and got Ben Revere for the stretch run. It has contributed in part of the reason our offence has sucked when faced with a half decent pitcher and we have had a poor results in one run games.

He had a .354 OBP, over .300 BA, low K contact hitter with speed and stolen bases. I am not saying he was Rickey Henderson but we have not had anyone close to that since.
-
I never said Revere was great, I stated he was the last true lead off hitter we have had.
-
Yes, I want the young guys given ABs as much as possible. In this I am in agreement with Orgfiller. What I thought made sense was PR for Tellez in bottom of the 8th 1 run game. We shall see...
-
I assume Maile is in there so they can PH for Urena in the bottom of the 9th?
-
Then why do we keep taking MCkinney out for a PH. We are trying to win and we have an expanded roster. 8th inning at home down 1.
-
No PR for Tellez??
-
Shapiro better use some of those prospects we are stocking to get some pitching. We can have 9 Guerros and we will still be short on pitching.
-
I will admit that is nice throw.. Is he back on the juice...?
-
Yes, two of us at least in this thread have had the same thought. First player that came to mind after I saw him a few times. I just wrote in the GDT that I think he is the first legitimate lead off hitter we have had since Ben Revere..
-
Not the 2018 version of Melky.
-
I think McKinney is the first legitimate lead off hitter we have had since Ben Revere.. Something we have been sorely lacking..
-
Nope, nada... Morales still sucks, Grichuk couldn't get it done and Rowdy is K or double, no middle ground.
-
Did Buck just say Melky has a a good arm??
-
Good start, let's see if they can cash em in!
-
Barnes is going to s*** the bed, watch..
-
I would have rather had some little contact guys that inning then three high K HR hitters.. s***😕
-
Me niether, especially since he was swinging for the fences and all he needed to do was move the runner over. Bad out.
-
Almost 100 RBIs, .800 OPS, and 30 HRs?? If that sux I will take that any day over Morales. He can also play 1b.

Gibby Gone, Replacement Discussion thread
Carlos Danger replied to TheHurl's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
While I agree Gibbons has for the most part been a good in game manager. I dont believe he gets the team prepared adequetly coming out of ST. Doesn't put enough empahsis on the fundementals, and is not willing to make the team take extra fielding drills etc. I have also been very frustrated with his battings orders in the past. So, IMO he is an awful manager for young kids and a rebuild. With the direction we are going. Glad be will be going. -
Buck is such a moron. Get up ball, get on the lip of the warning track.. Jesus!! He is like a casual fan that screams like it is a HR for a ball hit in the air just behind 2b.
-
He probably banged her friend or something. Or put it in her butt by “accident”.

Double Trouble👍👍👍👍

Difference between Diaz and JD. JD is in the seats and catches that ball. Diaz pulls up scared and doesnt make the out..
