Lots of WS teams have had 9 game losing streaks early in the year right Also I asked this in the previous thread that was closed for no reason pls answer: So seeing all of these exit velocity charts based on baseballs hit by very large very strong young men.... ...How in the hell did Mickey Mantle/Babe Ruth hit ~600 foot HRs? Or is that apocryphal?

Yeah I think where it stopped rolling used to be the thing. Like you couldn't actually prove where the ball bounced, so you just measured from where it ended up.

This last Brewers series vs the Braves was tough to watch. Our pitching and defense (especially the bullpen) can't give up these 10+ run games, especially if the offense is consistently getting 4+ runs per game.

The last Brewers series vs the Braves was great, because Ryan Braun got injured and Freddie Freeman dropped a bomb on Miller Park.

Gonna grab some quotes from the end of April's thread because that's how I roll.bewbies posted:So seeing all of these exit velocity charts based on baseballs hit by very large very strong young men.... I dunno about Ruth, but Mantle definitely hit one into the fencing stuff at Yankees Stadium in the upper deck, which was waaaaay up there. The distance measurements are all guesswork, though, educated to a certain degree. Paul Zuvella posted:In a perfect world, Headly and Castro will crash back to earth right around the time that Bird and Sanchez pick up steam. Headley is already falling off, but maybe Castro doesn't crash back to earth. He has 3 seasons right near .300/.340/.430 with wRC+ of 100 or better. Judge has a good idea of the zone and a better hit tool than people give him credit for. I think the bigger issue for him is umpires not adjusting the bottom of the zone to compensate for how tall he is, which is something you can already kind of see happening. He's got a big enough zone without it being expanded artificially.

The distance Josh Gibson hit a home two feet above the old facade at the 'old' Yankee Stadium in 1937 for the Homestead Grays, which technically beats Mantle's homer, but since it happened in a Negro League game, no one counts it. He's also said to have crushed one out of Yankee Stadium back in '34, also in a Negro League game, which if true, makes him the ONLY baseball player to crush a ball totally out of Yankee Stadium twice.

Cubs are 13-11 instead of 17-5 like they were last year on the morning of May 1. At least they're still in first place.  They're 2nd in the NL in OBP, which doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is they're also 2nd in the NL in team ERA. But that's skewed because it's been entirely their bullpen that's been doing all the work. Their starters have an ERA of 4.28. The pen's is 2.87.

Anyone goon go to any of the "Pitch Talks" events? It's in Philly next week and I'm debating if I should go. Anyone read Keith Law's "Smart Baseball?" He's peddling it and I'm wondering if there's anything new and exciting in it or its just classic Kieth Law? http://www.homestandsports.com/upcoming-shows/2017/5/8/pitch-talks-philadelphia

He's peddling it and I'm wondering if there's anything new and exciting in it or its just classic Kieth Law? I went to the Brooklyn Pitch Talks event and it was a lot of fun even though it was very Mets-centric (I knew that going into it, not like they "sprung" that.) I'm wondering the same thing about Smart Baseball though. As a guy who knows what OBP and wRC+ and WAR are, I don't know if I really need to read a whole book about why saves and RBIs are flawed stats.

Freeman made comments saying the Miller Park was like a little league field because it had poor lighting and he felt he could never see the ball well. Which is pretty funny.
