Everybody should love the crew of 10 twenty-somethings in front row seats right behind home plate, all wearing brand new gold-numbered jerseys and dabbing every time the camera gets anywhere near them  in reality the Brewers are doing it absolutely right and will almost certainly be competing to be the 2018 or 2019 team in the Royals-Cubs-Astros-2018 chain

The Pussy Boss posted:Lol at that player for getting injured. What a loving loser ahahaha. I don't think it's irrelevant to bring up his injury concerns over the past four seasons or so. OPS+ is an average stat so it is only impactful in the games he's able to play. I don't remember exactly when the PED event was so I was just looking from 2014 to present (couldn't remember how much of his 2013 was missed due to injury or suspension). 27 + 22 + 27 + 27 is a significant number of games per season to miss when you're supposed to be the big bat in the lineup. his OPS+ has been fine but his highest bWAR in the past four seasons was 4.4 last season. His overall impact has definitely "fallen off big time" when he's sitting at 9.2 combined bWAR across the last 3 1/3 seasons Thom P. Tiers posted:He has 1,700+ PA's the last three years. He has a top 6 outfielder wRC+ with a minimum of 1700 PA's from 2014-2016. Only 25 other players have 1700+ PA's for the outfield position in that time period. (I know I know arbitrary cut off point in a sense, he plays a decent amount of time) that's fine but we're talking about comparative performance for a single player. When healthy he is still an extremely impactful player but you can't just laugh off injury concerns, they add up

lol all I did at the start of this was say he can't hit when he's injured as a joke, because you brought up OPS+ to prove that he is effective the joke is: when he is hurt he literally can't swing a bat jesus christ

Mike Schmidt said that Odubel Herrera can't be a guy that the Phillies can build around. This is possibly okay except that it's... "because of a couple of things. First of all, it’s a language barrier. Because of that, I think he can’t be a guy that would sort of sit in a circle with four, five American players and talk about the game. Or try and learn about the game or discuss the inner workings of the game. Or come over to a guy and say, 'Man, you gotta run that ball out.' Just can’t be — because of the language barrier — that kind of a player."  Oh he kept going great“He’s more of a sort of, play the game, allow his exuberance for the game to kind of spread around the team. I think the fans love him. He’s not afraid to do things that sort of irk the other team if you will, and you know what that is. I probably would hate him if I played against him because of his antics on the field, but he’s not afraid. He’s not afraid to do that. He’s learning to play a really good centerfield. They haven’t figured out where he needs to hit in the batting order yet. To answer your question, those are the reasons that I don’t think you can build a team around him. Now, I truly think he can hit second or first on a championship team. There’s no question about that.” Ah yes, language barrier and antics on the field. good reasons mike schmidt

"I thought he was really good," manager Don Mattingly said. "I think it was just the fourth out that you're asking him to get in the fifth was the big one. Once he punches out Jay there for the third out, we just weren't able to get the fourth one."  this is some A+ legit salt

What's the rationale behind anybody other than Greene as the top pick, and if not him, why not Kyle Wright? Is it just the scarcity of SS for Lewis and the lefty nature of McKay? Pretty solid talent at the top in any case, I just like the look of Greene a lot.

The Walrus posted:During the final week at the old Yankee Stadium, Hample gained worldwide recognition by catching home run balls on consecutive nights. On September 16, 2008, he made a leaping catch on a Jason Giambi home run and immediately celebrated with a goofy dance that was captured on TV. The following night, in nearly exactly the same spot in the right field bleachers, Hample reached far over a railing to make a backhanded catch on a Johnny Damon home run and celebrated with the same dance.[3] The Yankees' announcers recognized him from the previous game, and within the next 24 hours the story was covered by ESPN, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN International, Japanese TV, and many other media outlets. Yahoo! Sports initially acknowledged Hample's baseball-snagging skills, but did not know that it was he who had made the catches.[4] so when he isn't at baseball games, he's busy editing wikipedia
