    Would any team try Soler at 1B?
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    We don't know that he wouldn't be absolutely horrendous at 1B too though. See Vlad.

    I'm thinking maybe he was lumping Machado in with that, but he was just a 2 month rental

    I think Freddie Freeman got 60 doubles for a very good reason. He is probably the best at directional hitting without sacrificing quality of contact. Freeman is a 142 hitter with a career BABIP of 344 and a LD rate of 28 v 18 for Soto. Soto has a career GB rate of almost 50% and has put up an LA above 10 once in his career. There should probably be more like a ~40 point difference in BABIP but I think most of the tale is told in those statistics. He definitely has to get that LD rate up to the ~20 and he would see a nice rise in BABIP. He ranked 125th in LD rate. I think your numbers are pretty much spot-on, however. 35 AAV will probably be around where he ends up. Some team might give him more years but I doubt he takes less than 10. He is so bad in LF that I don't think you lose that much overall value moving him to 1B. He should still be a 5 win player on the offense alone for several seasons.

    Pretty sure Ohtani is everyone's #1 priority; they just don't believe the Cubs will wade in those waters.

    Carroll is a beast

    Kudos to the Brewers for not caving under the pressure of facing Brandon Pfadt in a critical game

    33,000 fans poured into Coors to watch the 103-loss Rockies final game of the season. 19,000 fans made an appearance to watch the Rays first postseason game today.

    Not sure I will ever be comfortable with him in a 2 minute offense to lead a GW. His career 4th quarter numbers are unbelievbly bad. 48 rating when trailing and less than 2 min/ 2:6 with 8 sacks. 14 of his 26 career picks are in the 4th.

    This is actually kind of hilarious
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    Blah, we still had every chance to win the series in ATL
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    Happy has definitely closed the season strong FWIW
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Seiya is gonna get a chance to play hero
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    And that Counsell would yank the lefty
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    Great call Ross lol
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    You're absolutely right about that. Let's hope Johnson excels at both.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Hmm, this helps explain some of Brennen's back trouble 😜 https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-get-small-hundreds-of-minor-leaguers-have-shrunk/

    It wasn't just better, it was nearly 3 yards better last year. Herbert is far better for those stretch runs. I like how Monty absorbs contact and keeps moving but he lacks explosiveness; I don't think that can be debated. Obviously there's a lot more season to go but he's never cracked 4.3 in his entire career.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    I think he does have his finger on the pulse better than most others. He seems to recognize the potential breaking point sooner and gets his guys out of there when he feels hitters are getting a bead on the starter. He doesn't manage as if he expects his starter to escape an inning; he cuts off the momentum with a sub. I think he manages his staff excellently. Yes he has had some incredible arms as well, but I give him a lot of credit for his button-pushing also.

    I don't feel like parsing it and maybe there's an easier way I am not aware of to accomplish it, but I'd be interested in seeing what the Brewers record has been in 1-run games since 2017.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    It would have been from the 30 to the 30 and I hope you are better at counting than that. You don't have to exaggerate so much and put words in my mouth to belittle my point. It would have taken a great throw but it was doable. Fields is the type that can make those off-platform throws. If Mooney had some horsefeathers awareness it would have been a 30 yard pass (35 to the 35) that probably a dozen QBs in the league could make.
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Seems like that Little guy should have been utilized more as the rest of the bullpen was dying. FU Ross.
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    He could make that throw from ~33 to the Chiefs 35 or so if Mooney stopped running laterally-upfield, which was the whole point.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Dude what? At the 7-8 second mark Mooney is 40 yards away, Fields has 5 yards on the pursuing defender, and if he squares up and Mooney comes back to the ball that's a 30 yard air throw and not all that difficult to make.
