GDT 6/10/19: Running it back vs the Pirates

[Garmel]

Is Albies' left side finally improving or is it just a SSS?

 

[UNCBlue012]

The average isn’t there the last month but he’s done a great job getting on.

Thats funny since you had the opposite opinion in support of Newk last season.

Newk cratered last year but induced absurdly weak contact prior to his collapse.

But if you think that made a point then congrats

EV on that homer was 104 which is nice

Albies went from being Altuve, to a guy that needed to go to AAA and give up switch hitting, back to Altuve...over the course of about 6 months.

But that was your main support of him. How about we use stats that combine quality of contact plus walks?

back to 100 WRC+. Just like last season. Need that defense to step up though.

Lol Blevins is so bad.

 

[Heyward]

Blevins in, vs the heart of their order, why?

I don't know what to think of frenchy's theory that bumgarner (personal friends) will take it up a notch once he's traded to a contender. I do find it interesting that when muncy got bumgarner fired up in the 1st that Madison shut the dodgers down. Maybe motivation is a problem for him right now... not sure that's a good thing either

There may be a short-term effect, but nothing that is likely to hold up for an extended period of time.

Let’s see....

Is 2 weeks a small sample size....?

Because any tool that you use as a blinder for anything else is not worth it. All numbers are meant to work together to tell a story of the truth.

Blevins should never face righties, period. He is a lefty specialist.

Can you see the score?

 

[salmagundy]

Snakes have added yet another, now lead 11-4

 

[Heyward]

Can you see the score?

I get trying to save the big weapons for later, yes.

 

[50PoundHead]

3 of the 4 of those.

Count me out if that's the case.

I agree. So why do you conveniently ignore the all encompassing ones?

'All encompassing' is not a universal truth. It is an opinion.

I don’t get how Melky’s fat ass isn’t horrible
