    probably to some degree related to this recent phenomenon and i'm sure the unseasonably hot summer is having an effect as well

    really funny to me that he's driving the bus back and forth all over Infantino

    so there is some justice in the world 😃

    found somebody on reddit who had scanned back all the way to 1974 and this was the full list of 3+ WAR months they could find including the last couple days of May, Pete's at 3.7 fWAR his last 29 GP.. i've only been able to find one 30 GP stretch that beats this: in fall 1992, from 8/25-9/26, Barry Bonds reached 3.8 fWAR in a 30 GP stretch (sporting a .600 wOBA) HM: in summer 2024, from 5/15-6/16, Aaron Judge reached 3.4 fWAR in a 30 GP stretch (.393/.504/.972) put another way, i'd argue that this is the closest to the "build the perfect player" exercise that we've ever seen aside from Shohei, perhaps; leading MLB in AVG, OBP, SLG, Def, .. 3rd in SB, t-5th in BsR the heat map demonstrates this fairly well, too

    in a starter's capacity yes but he's still reportedly on track to be able to do some bullpen duty at some point

    Tillman you beautiful bastard

    oh effff right off

    i actually looked that one up too and June '98 Sosa had 1.173 OPS, he sold out for power so much that month and had a below-average OBP (.331) that month and a surprisingly unremarkable 1.6 WAR
  16. sneakypower
    i touched on this in one of the game threads but his June basically broke through the barriers of what is possible for hitter value he finished with 3.1 fWAR, a total that's only been reached this century by Sept. '00 Richard Hidalgo: 3.2 fWAR May '08 Lance Berkman: 3.1 that's it, that's the end of the list.. the only others to even top 2.8 are Aug. '02 Barry Bonds: 3.0 Aug. '23 Mookie Betts: 2.9 Sept. '05 Randy Winn: 2.9 so just to recap he surpassed the highs of what Barry Bonds could even reach in his most head-swollen days

    bc if you don't get the GK to bite you look like a world class jackass
  18. sneakypower
    currently sitting at 2.9 fWAR in June.. the only other position player to match that in any month over the last 10 years was Mookie Betts's August 2019– also 2.9 fWAR, but no player (Shohei double-counting aside) has exceeded that during that span
  19. sneakypower
    still in that last month, PCA has 18.2 offensive runs value, the rest of the team totaled -1.5
  20. sneakypower
    if we're being honest, pessimism was pretty well warranted a month ago given the sheer state of the pitching staff, but something happened since that was so far outside of the range of reasonable expectations, which is awesome but like i said
  21. sneakypower
    yeah i think it's mostly the pressure, if you make it so what but if you miss you're persona non grata forever
  22. sneakypower
    the few years before the Brewers were an objectively good team they were always pulling out such stupid bs wins with all these anonymous pitching retreads so i'm particularly enjoying the shoe being on the other foot the last couple days

  24. sneakypower
    i'd like to undo this one.. 🤦‍♂️
  25. sneakypower
    it rules so hard we get to watch legends bag a brace in so many of these games the only major damper is American stadiums only have the same 3 fuckass Bon Jovi, Killers & Journey songs on near exclusive rotation
