  1. It's more of a you couldn't have ever been a hitter if your approach was hack at balls low and away off the plate than a nerds in the basement attack. To sit there and attack a hitter for not swinging at pitches that are at best 50/50 calls is a joke. I don't need to attack Soler as a hitter since the results speak for themself at this point. Getting pissed at bad strike calls is not absolving Soler for responsibility for his overall output. If you're going to sarcastically dismiss arguments please do so to arguments that are actually made.
  2. Arrieta losing a few strikes/pitches to Federowicz's D doesn't make your bizarre crusade against him coming up for 2 weeks any more sensical.
  3. that is really frustrating after watching Arrieta get squeezed in the top half
  4. Baez is seeing about as many pitches per plate appearance as Rizzo, and more than Soler, Bryant, and Zobrist.
  5. Arrieta's K% is higher than it was last April, he's just giving up such weak contact when he isn't K'ing guys that he has fewer chances to tack on K's.
  6. David Patton: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/pattoda01.shtml
  7. 60 PA: http://www.fangraphs.com/library/principles/sample-size/ Which means 114 PA of 20% K rate with a .389 wOBA is a very good sign. Pitchers will adjust back again, but we can pretty safely say that Bryant made a meaningful and positive change. We'll have to wait and see exactly how sustainable that improvement is.
  8. The other runner doesn't get to 3rd if they call obstruction, and then the groundball single to LF by Holliday probably doesn't score the winning run.
  9. Keeping a ledger of which players pass for being cool sounds exhausting.
  10. Zobrist is gonna hit a walk off home run to win the world series and you weirdos are gonna be poring over the celebration footage to see if he's actually drinking the champagne.
  11. He had already used the entire bench and Adams is super duper slow.
  12. All 4 teams in the NL Central are at least 6 games behind the Cubs. In the other 5 divisions combined, there are 4 teams that are 6 or more games behind the division leader.
  13. Let's check in on Where Have you Gone, Andy Van Slyke, a very good Pirates blog: [tweet]https://twitter.com/whygavs/status/727915598634745856[/tweet] [tweet]https://twitter.com/whygavs/status/727928451617968128[/tweet] [tweet]https://twitter.com/whygavs/status/727930659893870593[/tweet] [tweet]https://twitter.com/whygavs/status/727948976671035396[/tweet] [tweet]https://twitter.com/whygavs/status/727949129964507137[/tweet]
  14. No one tell him the NL has a better interleague record this year.
  15. Right now Bryant has a .395 wOBA. Here's the list of hitters last year with at least a .390 wOBA that were not 1B or corner outfielders: Trout Donaldson* The list from the year before: Trout* McCutchen And from 2013: Trout McCutchen* Tulo Asterisks represent MVP winners.
  16. that was closer to the plate and the catcher's spot than the pitch that rung up La Stella
