howe_sam posted:They were near the bottom of the league in a bunch of offensive categories. So saying he did a good job is a stretch. It's hard to quantify how much a hitting coach helps or hinders a team, but I'm gonna guess that the marlins having so many injuries hurt their offense more than anything Bonds could have done one way or another.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Maybe just maybe a team that has 3 dudes with a reasonable chance to hit 20 homeruns isn't built very well. Idk, the Giants HR leader was Brandon Belt with 17, and no one else hit 15 or more, and they're in the play-offs.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:Ya but they weren't a good hitting team either and its not really my point anyway. But if you didn't go with home runs I wouldn't have been able to point out how hilarious the Giants' HR totals were this season, so it all worked out.

The Pussy Boss posted:You got me wondering and yep, AT&T was once again the hardest place in the majors to hit a home run. That makes five of the last six years. The Giants hit 75 HR on the road vs. 55 at home, and the pitchers gave up 64 at home/ 94 on the road. I have to laugh when people talk about the home run resurgence around the league because I ain't seen it. They were T-27th in Away HRs(55/75), and they were 13th in MLB the previous season (53/83). Meanwhile, baseball as a whole went from 4,909 HRs to 5,610 HRs

What was wrong with the straight over-the-top angle? It's the best angle to see movement and location until they can figure out how to make the pitcher transparent.

Caring about what a pitcher is batting in the postseason is a gateway stat that will only lead to self-destruction, or worse, narrative.

Balks are poorly defined and both pitchers and umps don't have a clear definition of what a balk is. This goes double for lefties.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Colorado Rockies are the only team I can find in either league that has had five different players win Batting Titles over a ten-year stretch. This is unrelated to the current discussion, but I thought it was interesting.
