  1. Remind me again, what's Doubront's ERA right now? What's his xFIP? Oh. Yeah. Maybe sometimes I'm right. And Salty at a .820 OPS is a 100 point OPS drop.
  2. This makes so little sense that I don't even know what to say. That's incredible. You may have just said something that makes less than zero sense. Congratulations.
  3. The only thing that would make his numbers go down is his HR/FB% is high (22.4% compared to 14.3% last year) but he's also hitting more LD (up 3.7% from last year). But again. Nobody is saying he's a .920 OPS catcher. He's likely going to be around a .820 OPS catcher, which is fantastic. Once his HR/FB ratio normalizes, that's likely where he'll end up.
  4. Again. He's got a .314 BABIP. His career BABIP is .321. Please explain why his numbers are going to go down.
  5. Still waiting on how he can't hit .250 or have a good OBP during his hot streaks when he's done it twice already. Annnnytime now.
  6. He got a very slow start last year. He started out much better this year. His numbers will be better this year because of less struggles at the beginning of the year. How. Does. That. Not. Compute.
  7. And it's not that he's peaking at a different time. It's that he's not struggling for as long as he did last year, which means that he's not going to have a poor start to manipulate his numbers like he did last year.
  8. He'll have an OPS of around .820 to finish the year, my honest prediction. Probably a .310 OBP and a .510 SLG.
  9. Where the hell are you coming up with these "his OBP is atrocious even when hot" and "he can't hit .250 even when hot". You preach this "hot streak" which lasted 42 games from May 15th to August 2nd, and during that stretch he hit .299 with a .370 OBP. Then he's on another "hot streak" this year from 4/21 to right now, which has lasted 34 games and he's hitting .324 with a .367 OBP. Seriously. WTF are you even talking about??? You are just spewing ********.
  10. ISO remained constant (244 ISO during hot streak, 235 during cold streak). It wasn't his SLG. It was his Average. He hit .191 from 8/1 to 9/26. Not to mention that he was in his first full season as a starting catcher (i.e. more than 95 games) since 2007. He was bound to be fatigued, and injured, as shown by the fact that he didn't start the last few games of the season. He was still hitting for XBH when they landed. He got chewed up by BABIP. His BABIP for August and September was .247.
  11. Going into this season, 4 of the 5 SP were from draft or IFA. There's no argument that their drafted pitchers aren't ML ready.
  12. ....because of a .220 OBP..... We were referring to SLG.
  13. But to back up your point, Pedroia, Gonzalez, and Youkilis left a combined 12 men on base. That's horrifying. And what's worse is that Middlebrooks sat all night and watched Youk get beat by bunt and look overmatched all game. And now his timing is going to be shot since its Wednesday and he hasn't played since Saturday.
