Unsurprisingly they lead the NL in runs scored. Despite having no DH, they're tied with the Yankees in that department
-
His last homer was on 6/24. So let's start on 6/25. IFFB% = 0.0% https://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=3473&position=1B&gds=2018-06-25&gde=2018-07-07&type=3 I'm too dumb to understand what most of those numbers mean, so I have to ask if a 51.3% RB rate is high for him? And I'm not worried about his slash line, I'm just seeing a lot of pop up and ground balls. Looking back, he raked in the Twins series, so clearly he's been good very recently, and I don't watch every single game, so my sampling of seeing his at-bats is admittedly incomplete
-
I think this is the rare case where the eye test and the stats don't match up. "Unlucky in BABIP" is him constantly grounding into the shift and popping balls up into the infield. I'd be curious how those numbers break down by month, as he has looked terrible more often than not in the last several weeks
-
He seems to have an extreme uppercut swing right now
-
Why on earth would automated balls/strikes not work? Think of the catcher and stealing bases.. If the catcher doesn't need to be in a crouch the run game is gone Why.......why wouldn't he need to be in a crouch to catch a strike zone that is centered around a catcher in a crouch? -
I hate Lorenzen
-
They use a computerized system for out/in calls in tennis, they can do it with the strike zone. The ear piece would never work, though, because the a-hole umps would ignore it and call what they wanted Huh? How would they not get in trouble for that? They probably would, but I know I saw a video where they tried it out in a minor league (or maybe independent league) game and the umps hated it. They also talked about how they got a DVD every week breaking down their bad calls and that every ump just threw them in the garbage without watching them
-
I think they could work just fine. Just have them back there to call plays at the plate. They use a computerized system for out/in calls in tennis, they can do it with the strike zone. The ear piece would never work, though, because the a-hole umps would ignore it and call what they wanted
-
He threw exactly one strike to Schwarber in that strikeout
-
Jesus, Willson
-
Can Chilli please fix Rizzo's 75 degree swing angle?
-
dammit Baez
-
Same. At least Brenneman isn't calling the game
-
Lester has completely lost the zone this inning
-
Willson, why though?
-
Thats on schwarber though ...he has to catch that What? He took a step in before the ball ended up going over his head. He misread it off the bat
-
He was not
-
Castillo has no idea where his slider is going. Or his two-seamer
-
How on earth does Rizzo have over 50 RBI? Feels like he takes a poop in every run scoring situation
-
No, I’m pretty sure they played a game there yesterday
-
Eh, the couple of games I saw him at third weren’t pretty. Whatever, we’re winning by ten
-
Why do you think Báez at third and Happ at second is optimal? Because the small sample size of Happ at third was kind of a disaster
-
Hey Joe Maddon (since you're reading this), please reverse Happ and Baez so that your infield defense is optimal, kthxbye
-
That is certainly...a transaction Is there any reason not to just cut the guy we got or shove him into the D-League (or whatever they're calling it now)?
-
It got lost at the bottom of page 6. Funny how the Cubs started the rally after the soccer game was over. It’s like you could have watched two awesome things happen!
