Thats because it would be more like “ Javy Baez has no idea who the new coach is, says he thinks his name is Larry. Promptly hits 3 hrs” -

What do you mean why did they throw it there? The Pirates took the gamble that Almora couldnt hit the horsefeathering ball in his sweetspot and they lost. He got JUUUUST enough of it
-
He did the Guiterrez but the wrong results

Im going to be there and I was really hoping for a nice, relaxed drunken end of a div title run multiple day celebration. Instead, i get MAX stress

I take back everything i thought about Almora

Theory: most starters like to start a game with a strike. There is a high likely hood the first pitch of the game will be a FB Now heres the kicker: Almora happens yo be offensively good at one thing: hitting fastballs Proposition: tell Almora to swing at the first pitch he sees while leading off Have you not seen Almora play this year? I try not to. I try to look the other way

or, it could quite possibly be that I need the Quaaludes to continue watching this season die

General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread

I'm glad I never really like Addison all that much -
if we hadn't been coming into the season with 3 consecutive 90+ win seasons, I can understand this. But given that we have had recent, sustained success it seems like the pythag is right.

Respectfully disagree, given the relatively uncharted territory-nature of his success. That's not saying he's likely to fall off of a cliff, but I'd be pretty surprised if he was a 4-4.5+ WAR player on a regular basis, if even just or how his style of play has a good chance of landing him on the DL and/or declining sooner rather than later.

"..had to do"? It just seems like his style of play. He's always been a bit of a magic-show infielder and is being watched for that far more this year I think. Dude, he's not being valued more simply because more people are paying attention to him. dude, I'm not saying he will be valued more. I'm saying he is more likely then not to play the way he has this season next season. I'm saying he is getting a lot more attention for it this year then years past.

I will refuse to doubt Baez until he proves doubtable, but it is dubious that he is the only person in the history of the world to have his particular skillset. I will say that his patience has ticked up the last couple months (13 walks the last two months [lol that's an improvement]) so maybe he can Sammy Sosa himself into 50 walks next year? He had to do that this year to keep this team competitive w/o Bryant. He will not do that next year, but Bryant and Harper will make up for it. "..had to do"? It just seems like his style of play. He's always been a bit of a magic-show infielder and is being watched for that far more this year I think.

nothing in sports will ever come close to 2016 for me, but this end-of-season disaster followed by running the table in the playoffs and inexplicably winning the world series would probably come as close as possible. that scenario would mean permanent liver damage for me, I'm sure of it
