we're gonna have to Wait Til The Water Runs Dry for him to dong again

[BigSlick]

Rizzo currently has a .194 batting average and an .867 OPS. He has an OPS+ of 131 while suffering with a BABIP of .133. This dude is an unstoppable menace, even when the baseball gods are doing everything they can to stop him.

[David]

His mom no longer has to do the wives/girlfriends charity stuff

[David]

[Derwood]

Well, now we have the second best reason to lock this thread.

His tiny-face is off set by her mega-face

[Clem Fandango]

She is a very attractive woman, but she kinda looks like the cardboard cutout of a typical baseball player's girlfriend/wife.

[Omar]

She only wants him for the money

isn't meeting a professional athlete a major at ASU?

If it was, one would think they could improve their sports teams to produce lots of professional athletes every year, instead of just having good baseball players.

Anthony Rizzo has a 1.039 OPS, despite a .225 BABIP.

[sneakypower]

i think he's been the best hitter in baseball so far; the players who've outperformed him so far have had crazy amounts of good fortune, which is of course normal for a monthly sample leaderboard

 

Daniel Murphy (.471 wOBA): .110 above career BABIP

Aledmys Diaz (.462): [self-explanatory]

Manny Machado (.457): .070 above career BABIP, 10% over his career HR/FB rate

Dexter Fowler (.452): .080 above career BABIP

Ryan Braun (.441): .070 above career BABIP

Jose Altuve (.439): 21%! over his career HR/FB rate

 

and Rizzo (.434): .060 below career BABIP, 7% over his career HR/FB rate (still just 22nd-highest in MLB)

 

also perhaps it's worth noting if Grichuk doesn't rob his HR, he's currently at .271/.412/.677 (.437 wOBA)

He's continuing his assault on the strike zone this season by walking 22 times and only striking out 18 times. Imagine if we had signed Pujols or Fielder lol

rizzo's nephew has the tiny face
