Good observation. He doesn't have elite speed but he's probably elite in every other aspect of fielding.
-
The bases-loaded double by Beni last night was pretty sweet. He took a slider low in the zone and carved it into the left field corner. Eck talks about painting by pitchers. That was painting by a hitter.
-
Bogey worked on his strength in the offseason and it's really showing. Thank God that recent HBP turned out not to be an issue.

Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?

On the B-R Game Log page you just click on the left-hand side of the first game you want and the last game you want and it gives you the numbers for that stretch. -
Should Jackie Bradley Jr be traded?

All JBJ needs to do is muster an OPS of around .700, as he is now doing, and he is a solid component of a well-balanced team. -
But the ads are a big part of what pays for it all.
-
Of course, if the length of the games is only tolerable when you DVR them, that might be a problem.
-
Pretty incredible that Chief Wahoo is still Chief Wahoo.
-
A salary dump for the ages.
-
I guess your point is that the protection effect occurs in some isolated instances, but not consistently. Sort of like really cheap condoms?
-
Certainly the best trade in which no actual talent was acquired.
-
Yes, it's hard to believe how many people forget we acquired Loney, De la Rosa, Webster, Sands and DeJesus all in that deal. (Obligatory mention of Miley and Holt spinoff trades...)
-
The fact that almost everyone gets put on waivers in August isn't very interesting. But some of the talent that gets moved in August can be surprising, like Murphy and Adams. And of course our Punto trade with the Dodgers occurred in August 2012.

Maybe it's time for you to explain why you are so preoccupied with what happens in particular games here and there instead of what happens over a long period of time?

Station 13 must got have gotten in touch with Cora LOL

Right you are. I have some numbers.
-
I think you might be right. I'm going to check this out a bit.
-
Although one might argue that if a team can get through a whole season lucky, that's all that matters, because next year it will be a different team.
-
Although sometimes the luck can continue for a whole season.
-
danny, please do not invoke the memory of Al Nipper.
-
And at the end of the day, teams are averaging about 4.5 runs a game, which is probably pretty close to the all-time average. The strategies and skills might change a bit but the end results are still around the same.
-
Personally I like talking about this kind of stuff. My feeling is that the man who has the most info at his fingertips, both the numbers and the intangibles, is the manager. I put a lot of faith in Cora to be able to balance all that stuff out. My feeling is that he's pretty good at it.
-
As Kimmi has said many times, it's also important to know which guys are most comfortable hitting in which spots, and Cora should know that better than any of us.
-
The big numbers don't show everything, I get it.
