brandon Inge's stats for May .239 .308 .565 .873

I guess he is good again too.

 

not too mention he has 7 extra basehits, 4 hrs and 17 rbi compared to stewart's

6, 3 and 5. heck, if stewart can keep this up all season he's on pace for 45 rbi

 

you guys are awesome with your clips for 20 at bats showing how good everyone will be!

 

Tell me again about DeJesus's .444 OBP

Hard to tell at this point. I guess the realistic hope is that he can at least hold it down and be serviceable/productive until Vitters puts it together or a better FA/trade option comes along.

Impossible to say before seeing how he turns out this season. Assuming his luck normalizes, I'd say 2-3 seasons.

 

When his luck normalizes what line can I expect? I'm too lazy to check and I think a lot of people here know anyway so I don't mind asking.

 

I do think they should fix the OF and pitching before 3B since Stewart has some shot to be a decent role player in a more talented lineup.

well much like our early discussion of ops over the first 14 games and how when it got back to normal our offense would be better. where I was ridiculed for being in 1980. our OPS went from 604 to 680 and our average runs fell from 3.5 to 3.0- yep you guys are right OPS is an important to look at over 14 games

this will also pan out in my "toddler" ways. perhaps you guys should watch a few years of baseball and get back to me. really. you think 2 to 3 seasons is what it takes to even out luck? silly.

no what's silly is that stewart isn't a good hitter. he hit in the best hitter's park his entire career and was poor. a .233 hitter is a .233 hitter. bad luck? no what you need to look at is the opposite, his career babip is pumped way up by his all time best year, where he hit 259 but it took an ungodly babip rate of .370 which is what matt kemp had last year in a nearly freakin' triple crown season. he needed that to hit .259. to me that screams "luck".

he hits a ton of weak, soft hits. which is why his babip stays low.

truth is even if he hits like he has in may, it's not good. 246 .338 .456 .795

you know who he is at that rate? gordan beckham career=.245 .314 .383 .697 and thats during stewart's hot streak!

seriously- we have no one better I know.

"IF" he did that for a season, exactly what 3b starters is he better than?

you think it shows his serviceable? and getting better? more likely he had a slight hot streak for a few games(his extra base hits are spread over 5 games of 18 in May) and just like brandon inge it gave him a spike.

I don't dislike him, I don't want him to fail but you are guys are running me down, calling me a toddler when outside of 18 games in may, there simply aren't any stats that point to what you say is going to happen, and there is a ton that's says I'll be right.

again we will see, but my advice would be to maybe watch the games and see what happens instead of attacking someone's posts.

as i said a long time ago, time will tell but don't think i won't say i told you so.

good thing stewart made it to the majors before bad luck hit, heck if it took 2-3 years to straighten out down there he probably would been released... you guys are great 3 seasons to even out "luck" other than nintendo have you ever played?

Brandon Inge's May numbers are inflated by an absurd .561 slugging. Stewart's May surge is also slugging-heavy, but it's more balanced with a .338 OBP.

 

And what the [expletive] do you think people think of Stewart here? Who is pointing to his May as some kind of rock-solid proof that he's figured it out? You're foaming at the mouth over people pointing out that his May numbers hopefully are indicative of a stabilizing trend in his stats over all and that his numbers will continue to catch up to the unusual amount of bad luck he was hitting into before that. Why are you so determined to already write him off as a failed addition?

 

I will bet millions of dollars that for all of this guy's bitching about "luck" he's probably one of the first to start screaming about "clutch" in the stupidest possible ways.

he's hit .233 over SIX SEASONS. his best is 259. all of this in the best hitters park in baseball. you know what that tells me? He's a .233 or below hitter! unless he juices or sells his soul a'la joe hardy (ask your dad about that reference)

unless he can play multiple infield positions or outfield-which I am not sure he can, I don;t know how he would be useful to a serious contender

So it's impossible that he could improve with a change of scenery and coaching/management?

never said he was the problem, nor did i ask to replace him. simply said he's not unlucky over 6 seasons and was attacked by posters who felt differently and want to talk down to anyone who dares questions their "greatness"!

The point hasn't been that he's been consistently unlucky over 6 seasons; the point is that he's been very unlucky to start THIS season. You've been "attacked" because you've argued that as if that's some kind of impossible scenario in some of the dumbest ways possible.

If Stewart can put up his career numbers (.233 batting average and all), while playing slightly above average defense, he can be a league average-ish starter.

 

There are exactly zero better, major-league-ready options in the system right now.

 

This is a silly debate.

perhaps you guys should watch a few years of baseball and get back to me

 

It's going to take awhile, I just bandwagoned on to this great Cubs team.

 

truth is even if he hits like he has in may, it's not good. 246 .338 .456 .795

you know who he is at that rate? gordan beckham career=.245 .314 .383 .697 and thats during stewart's hot streak!

 

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

may, there simply aren't any stats that point to what you say is going to happen, and there is a ton that's says I'll be right.

Your tons of stats appear to be batting average and flim-flam.

nuts and gum, outside of the steroid era, how often has this ever happened? especially when you are coming from colorado. san diego? you may have a point but historically , you have to admit the norm is that your stats go up when you go to colorado and drop when you leave.

 

It's all possible, but I simply tried to state why I think it's probably not going to happen! heck, Kurt Warner made it to a potential HoF qb from the arena league but that doesn't mean I'm grabbing the next Iowa barnstormers qb and planning on him doing the same.

 

truthfully, with this team I would rather watch stewart play hard every day and hit 220, than watch rameriz hit 300. with 30 bombs but loaf. his (rameriz) stats might win us 5 games but add years of frustration to our lives
