He needs to add a leg kick. Unless he has a leg kick, in which case he needs to stop it. And his hands, they are either too high or too low, and he's not getting the barrel of the bat out in front of the ball because of it.

Could be that he's just not seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand.

bawfuls posted:Also foul territory tended to be larger This had never occurred to me but now I'll never stop seeing it. I remember watching games growing up, and foul territory was often just simply enormous. Like 50 feet from third base to the dugout. I guess that shrinkage gets more seats closer to the action, which is why it happened.

Can we just loving get rid of pitcher wins as a stat and replace them with quality starts or indeed any metric that is indicative of anything at all

Bandire posted:He hasn't touched my Tulsa Drillers Kevin Brown bobblehead sitting right next to Adrian, but Brown was always pretty unlikeable. My fun Tulsa Drillers story is that I was at a game where they were playing the Cardinals AA squad and we were right behind the third base dugout. Their manager or one of their coaches knew some other old dudes in the row in front of us and intentionally got himself thrown out of the game for a laugh. It ruled and ever since I’ve tried to go to drillers games whenever they come to Springfield to the best of my ability

Chas McCormick has a good chance of winning the AL player of the month award (slashed .351/.440/.688), which would be a devastating blow to Name Theory.

AndrewP posted:Civale's numbers look kinda sus I agree and Civale is absolutely due for a regression at some point, but who the hell is gonna start for us? You have 3 kids already blowing past their innings from last year and the corpse of Noah Syndergaard in the rotation. I guess Xzavion Curry gets stretched out for the 5th starter role, but you’re still gonna need another starter to give the young guys a break. Also, Naylor and Bell have first base/DH locked down through next year, so where exactly is this guy gonna play? I thought the plan was to trade Civale only for immediate offensive help, and Instead we get a guy having a down year in AAA? Maybe I’m just a bit skeptical because every trade we make with the Rays blows up on us but I just don’t get this one….
