Woodruff is a foreign substance suspect (at least to me). His spin rate has increased by like 400rpm since 2018. So we’ll see…
-
If you’re selling, why would you be worried about trading him? Exactly. He’s cheap
-
OMFG that had to go 500 feet

:roll:

Yes, he’s outstanding. Freshman All-American SS. Jacob Gonzalez. .355/.443/.561, 12 HR, 16 2B and 55 RBI coming out of the SEC at SS as a true freshman is quite the line. Looks ready for AAA

Oooooof

Lies!

Schwarber just laughed at that exit velo. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQkApTNnKD3/?utm_medium=copy_link

Pujols in particular looked way overmatched. Yeah he was way behind on the fastballs

Hahahaha Sutcliffe arguing for a “quality AB” stat. “I dunno, maybe after 5 pitches”
-
This angle shows bad it really was. I’m looking forward to the inevitable Jomboy video of that

That video got a legit belly laugh out of me. Holy isht.

Yes, “barnstorming” was common for MLB players as well as a way to supplement their income. But their regular seasons were 80-100 games. Again, the data is just totally jacked up unfortunately. Good example: take a look at Oscar Charleston in 1922. It says he played 101 games that year for the ABC’s yet the team record says 50-34-1 and the Manager’s record for that season is 63-42-2. If you look at Charleston’s record as a manager, it looks like he was averaging about 80 games a year when he was managing the Crawfords.

What exactly is your concern? I guess just sample size. For someone to be the official all time single season BA leader with 130 ABs seems difficult to wrap my head around. But based on what I've read Negro leagues did not play long seasons. Like I said, I'm open to it and appreciate that this gives me the opportunity to learn more about the Negro Leagues. Just going to take some getting used to. That said, its really easy to look up stats and filter them by minimum ABs, etc if i want to. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/batting_avg_season.shtml Oh wow. Yeah, they probably need to adjust the AB’s per season up a smidge. Currently the guy with the highest single season BA on BR managed to do it with only 57 hits. He only had 121 AB’s that year and only played 30 games. Josh Gibson in second place had 249 AB’s (which is plenty IMO). Third place had 246 AB’s in his season. Negro leagues did have shorter seasons but if you look at their BA reference pages the main issue is missing data. I think their seasons were actually around 80-100 games but we just don’t have the box scores for those games sadly.

2021 Draft Thread

Fabian is a great athlete, BUT, he’s not so hot against elite pitching, at least from what I saw of him. In the series against Ole Miss: Hoglund faced him twice and K’d him twice Nikhazy faced him three times and K’d him three times He did hit 2 homers in a row against Leiter though, but didn’t do anything against Rocker. Nevertheless, he shouldn’t be a first rounder IMO -
Yes, he’s outstanding. Freshman All-American SS. Jacob Gonzalez. .355/.443/.561, 12 HR, 16 2B and 55 RBI coming out of the SEC at SS as a true freshman is quite the line. Though they were stymied by “Big Dick Doug” Nikhazy, Arizona’s offense is out of control. I’ve watched almost every Ole Miss game this year and I’ve not seen another team with bats like that. They’ve got a tough task having to face Rocker in Game 1 at Omaha, but I’ll be pulling for them.

Ole Miss under Mike Bianco is 1-8 in games that wound have sent them to the CWS Good times

man, this is like warm soup for the soul. looks so nice to see Wrigley looking like it always has.

dodgers confirmed biggest cheats maybe ever
OleMissCub replied to SpongeWorthy's topic in General Baseball Talk
Shouldn’t be any surprise to anyone, but I checked BaseballSavant earlier today and Brandon Woodruff has increased his fastball RPM by 300 since 2018. -
That still means he likely sold his ring though.
-
That’s quite sad.
