1. The Yankee Clapper Posted: June 27, 2022 at 04:02 PM (#6084121)I'm guessing he reinjured his back on April 19. Up to that point he was hitting .359/.386/.482; since then he's 3 for 24, all singles, with a .125/.276/.125 line.
A's have 51 HR.... in 2022.
what could go wrong?
7th so far:
Joey Gallo lined out (line drive to 2B).
DJ LeMahieu walked.
Aaron Judge reached on interference. DJ LeMahieu advanced to 2nd.
Defensive substitution: A.J. Puk replaces Adam Oller at pitcher.
Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch. DJ LeMahieu advanced to 3rd. Aaron Judge advanced to 2nd.
Giancarlo Stanton reached on interference. DJ LeMahieu advanced to score. Aaron Judge advanced to 3rd. Anthony Rizzo advanced to 2nd.
I remember the Knicks in the 1990s, tackling opponents and occasionally fighting them.
but hey, everybody loves a (even almost) winner!
UPDATE: and right cue, we have a baseball play with running fielders AND runners!
Josh Donaldson doubled (line drive to LF). Aaron Judge advanced to score. Anthony Rizzo advanced to score. Giancarlo Stanton advanced to 3rd.
EDIT: Trevino’s 2-run double makes it 8-5.
They did it earlier this year with a guy named Kramer Robertson who has now been DFA'd twice since his debut.
First pitch called strike
Second pitch a groundout 3-1
Third pitch strike
Fourth pitch base hit
5-6 pitches called strike
7 pitch DP ball
If he never pitches again - he'll have only thrown strikes !!
Anyone ever done that in their first inning?
So by my count they Cards have debuted
Ivan Herrera
Nolan Gorman
James Naile
Mathew Liberatore
Zach Thompson
Conner Capel
Andre Pallante
Juan yepez
Brendan Donovan
Jake Walsh
Herrera is now starting half the games behind the plate. Nolan Gorman is starting 2B, yepez and Donovan start most games. Pallante is our fifth starter and Thompson is becoming a trusted arm out of pen
That's a pretty amazing situation for a contending team
Again, intuitively this feels like a .3 to .4 performance, but based upon the last time I guessed this, I'm thinking that it's a .2 war performance (of course where the 1.3 exists on the rounding table might also figure into it)
Christopher Morel
Seiya Suzuki (technically)
Nelson Velazquez
Matt Swarmer
Brandon Hughes
Caleb Kilian
Ethan Roberts
Anderson Espinoza
Contending for the #1 pick is a type of contending.
The tricky bit is that if the context changes due to today's game then it changed for all previous games too. Say maybe due to Marlins suckitude, changes in PF, etc. the RA9avg goes down to 4.15 that means that (a) he was only about 3.2 runs better than average and (b) his earlier RAA is also slightly reduced because it's not in comparison to a RA9ave of 4.15 not 4.20. But over the course of 91 innings, that should be no more than half a run which is a rounding error.
In the 10 games (well, 9-1/2) since, he's .382/.417/.882, going 13-for-34 with 3 homers, 7 doubles, and 9 rbi.
Coming into tonight he had doubled in 5 straight games, and he has 11 doubles total in 108 ab, which is a pretty good rate in itself---but he has 10 of those doubles in his last 52 ab.
Goldys top 7 WAR seasons before this year (bWAR)
8.3
6.3
6.3
6.1
5.5
5.0
4.7
He's at 4.1 coming into tonight for 2022. So his best seven seasons put him at 42.2 which is bang-on average for a HOF 1B. This season will likely see him replace the 4.7 with some higher number which then puts him above average for a HOF
His JAWS score will also go up as his overall and seven year WAR increases.
His counting WAR is 54.7 and the average 1B is 65.5. He should be able to get very close and/or exceed that as well which means his JAWS score will likely get to average JAWS for a HOFr
He's looking more and more like a HOFr by the stats.
He'll struggle with narrative. No playoff heroics and played for some low media profile teams. The loss of most of 2020 will look large for him.
Maybe this year will be the one.
Could happen if Yadi changes his mind to stick around a bit longer. Last time the Orioles came up with a #1 prospect switch hitting catcher he ended up as Yadi’s backup.
He's also done a good job limiting strikeouts. Only 4 K's in his last 39 PA, 7 K's in his last 64 PA.
along with Walt's comment
Waino jumped to 1.7 from 1.3, so at least that feels more consistent than Mikolas only moving .1 in his previous appearance.
The Dodgers have had a lot of success finding overlooked players from other teams' minor league systems, but that also means they're older by the time they break through in the majors. Turner's 37, and Muncy and Taylor both turn 32 next month. These guys are probably already on the downside of their careers.
