He's also taken 1 unintentional walk in that time. Definitely a sign of a guy with a good approach.

Miguel Sano's BABIP of .407 is 100% sustainable because like half his outs are strikeouts. (it's actually almost 60%)

So long as they leave Barlin Bastro off the playoff roster I'm not worried about facing Starlin Castro in the WS.

Like obviously I don't think Castro is a season-long .383/.400/.633 guy but I don't think he's a .236/.271/.304 guy either

Castro has a season line of .310/.333/.479 against the Cardinals, confirmed demon slayer.

Poque posted:this is really all that matters Best part of Sunday's game beyond Arrieta's overall ownage was that they played his walk up song, complete with bullpen footwork on the big screen, and then the Bucs challenged the count on the previous walk. After the review they played his walk up music again because gently caress you, it's awesome.

Dr. Tommy John posted:Guys I know his BABIP is high but so is his line drive rate and THAT is a really sustainable improvement! This is a good time to remind people that line drive rate is not a good predictor of future line drive rate. It's doesn't correlate well season-to-season so it's not really considered a repeatable skill. Groundball/ fly ball rates and hitting the ball hard are different. and 80 hit tools

The next sabermetric stat will quantify inspiration based on regressing motivational clubhouse speeches to their historical means. We have the knowledge, as soon as the technology catches up so we can track it! e: despite being the most motivational speech of all time, the Hunter Pence speech actually barely cracks the top 10 as it was given to the SF Giants in an even year and therefore Jonathon Papelbon could have got that team ready to win together.

starlin castro is unlucky when he's bad and it's his true talent level when he's good it has nothing to do with the fact that his skill set is a high variance one. check out my fangraphs scouting report.
