    Apology accepted. Try to be a better poster in the future, though, and you could definitely be a welcome and useful member of the community. The Phillies' 33% HR/FB ratio killed us today.
  2. Hairyducked Idiot
    He's a nice prospect, but I'd put it way less than 50/50 that Vogelbach is ever an MLB regular.
  3. Hairyducked Idiot
    You mean Khalil Greene is not a HOFer yet?
  4. Hairyducked Idiot
    You joke, but I always thought it'd be cool if someone invented an extrapolated K-rate based on a player's swing stats.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    I want to point out that in the ever-so-smallest, most meaningless of samples, Mike Olt appears to have stopped striking out. I probably just jinxed it, though.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wonder if there've been any studies about days off to try to break slumps.
  7. Hairyducked Idiot
    Junior Lake's K rate is back up to 25%, which is disappointing.
  8. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yes to the second part. But I wouldn't call it trolling. He's making his point.
  9. Hairyducked Idiot
    if only the cubs could just get the outcomes to games that they philosophically deserve... The last few years, it really would have helped.
  10. Hairyducked Idiot
    Samardzija xFIP for today at the moment: 2.91 ERA: 21.60
  11. Hairyducked Idiot
    Our ability to get value out of just completely random 3b options this year has been insane. Going into today we were 10th in the league in 3b fWAR.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    That seems really credible because it supports what I already believed.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    ESPN Chicago story made it sound like Baez to AAA was a possibility as well.
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    OK, I guess maybe I'd take him over Harper.
  15. Hairyducked Idiot
    Nobody normalized his numbers to the assumption that this was all bad luck. I still agree that would be a bad idea.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    Imaginary hits are more predictive.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    The .295 wOBA listed earlier would be the highest of his career. His approach hasn't taken a step forward, but his power has, balancing it out.
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    All that said, I'm perfectly OK with the idea of removing him for next year. We're starting to fill up on "not that bad as long as they are cheap" types.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    It's the thing I brought up today. Do you want to bring something up to talk about?
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Absolutely. Which is why nobody was adjusting his stats to a league-average BABIP or anything like that.
  21. Hairyducked Idiot
    That's not the reason. It's probably because he's hitting more fly balls, fewer line drives and swinging at more pitches outside of the strike zone (and making a lot of contact with those pitches). That's also not the reason. Those may be reasons he'd have a lower than average BABIP, but it's not the reason he has a completely abysmal one. He's not a .228 BABIP guy long-term.
  22. Hairyducked Idiot
    Long story slightly longer: Despite that, he's a pretty valuable baseball player.
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Which is always kind of a tricky bit of selection bias, because qualifying 2b are the ones doing enough to be played every day. Not every team has one of those. The league average wOBA for a 2b is .300, which itself would be bottom-5 among qualifying 2b.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    That's not the reason.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    When the BABIP is reasonable, the hitting really isn't that bad for a 2013 middle infielder.
