5/10... vs astros

So protection gets you walked more in addition to slugging more? I figured the whole idea of protection was to get walked less. So confusing!

think of a chain.. Protection = slg % spike = BB % spike = KEMvP = 17 WAR.. see how evolution works..

Also it has gone unnoticed but this home plate umpire has been horrible.

Sh*t

Listening to radio... from listening to them it seems he was only bad on one side

Man that's a low wall out there...

Still so confusing. Freeman's SLG by month in 2016:

April/March .407
May .427
June .654
July .550
August .688
Sept/Oct .673

His walk rate by month:

Mar/Apr 12.6 %
May 7.4 %
Jun 11.5 %
Jul 9.8 %
Aug 20.2 %
Sept/Oct 15.1 %

So his SLG spiked in June before Kemp got to Atlanta. Kemp was then traded to Atlanta at the beginning of August, and Freeman's SLG stayed up, but his BB% spiked. Freeman is still walking 16% of the time while being protected by Kemp.

Protection is too confusing for me to grasp.

When you are KEMvP you have powers that no one can grasp. don't try to understand them.. just bask in his greatness please.

Remember when the posi-Braves thought this was a .500 or better team?

They are so adorable!

Whoa now.. depends on what your definition of .500 is... that is subjective you know.

Us smart posi-braves said 'we are a .500 team. and are already right. I believe we were 6-6.. When you throw out a win total, you can't create fuzzy math to hide behind like I can..

Does that make me a posi-Brave too?

You can't join the club... southern bigots only

[Tapate50]

God damn right I'm adorable.

[Enscheff]

You can't join the club... southern bigots only

Do I have to be a bigot to join, or could I just do other Southern things like lose a few teeth, get fat, get poor, get addicted to opioids, and have sex with a family member?

Sounds like a hell of a Saturday night.

Homey, I live in SC and that's just a Tuesday. Saturday night, there's domestic violence and somebody gets locked up.
