GDT 5/13/26: Braves vs Cubs - What Does Farmer Have To Do?

[Mrs. Meta]

Eh… imagine if Walt didn’t pitch Bido that third inning

He's also the reason we lost the Seattle series because he left Richie Rich in too long and something something warming up multiple relievers

 

[Hulavol]

Most runs scored and least runs allowed. Literally could not be a better team right now.

When Acuna gets back and goes crazy for a month, I may remind you of this….

 

[Hulavol]

I feel like this has become a hobby for Jimenez at this point

He might be hooked on the yummy pain relief meds….

Ded.

What is the record for number of knees removed from a single man?

 

[thewupk]

Pretty sure Walt is gonna win manager of the year

Acuña trying to catch up to him.

 

[Dalyn]

Knees? Pretty soon all they will have are wants.

Pretty soon he's gonna be Hank's dad in King of the Hill. Just feet connected to femurs.

I just saw that Tatis Jr has 171 PA this year and 0 homers. That seems impossible

Guess we don't have to test him.

 

[GovClintonTyree]

I still can’t believe Dave Stewart traded Dansby

He's hitting a buck 94

 

[thethe]

Eh… imagine if Walt didn’t pitch Bido that third inning

Or if AA got another back end starting pitcher that wasn't needed!

 

[msstate7]

I can be googled? That’s interesting

Think it's your proximity to thethe (an actual internet celebrity) that puts you on people's radar. I'm working on your wiki later today.

He's hitting a buck 94

With a .206 BABIP vs a career .306. He's getting insanely unlucky on balls in play. He's also striking out at a career low and walking at a career high. That bad luck will flip at some point and he'll likely finish with his best offensive season since 2022.

That's doubtful. Of course anything can happen but he's 32 and we are a quarter of the way through the season. I'd be shocked if the BB and K numbers stay where they are the rest of the year. And shocked if he ends the year with a WRC+ over 100.

Dansby...
BA - .194 (career -.249)
XBA - .227 (career -.251)

Slg - .360 (career -.412)
XSLG - .413 (career -.438)

Woba - .303 (career - .314)
Xwoba - .329 (career - .329)

We'll see. His metrics are in line with his career averages and several have actually improved. The only thing that's drastically different is the BABIP.

So he'd have to overperform just to get to baseline. Not saying it isn't possible but it gets harder the longer into the season we go. Its not like he's Acuna who can have absurd hot streaks to get back to where he should be.
