https://twitter.com/jonmorosi/statu...ightmode%3Dtrue Verlander is quietly having one of the best seasons ever for a modern pitcher. And he is doing all of this while home runs are up like 20% and joe schomes are hitting 35 a season.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:what joe schmose are hitting 35??? Eddie Rosario, Hunter Renfroe, Trey Mancini, Daniel Vogelbach, Kole Calhoun, Max Kepler,Jorge Soler. Either close to or on track for 35 this year. Not mean that in a mean way just a list of guys that arent celebrities, aren't all stars (or just once) and prev haven't had big home run seasons.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm posted:And outside of Kepler (and he has a huge change in launch angle from two years ago) who on that list is surprising??? I guess Calhoun but he hit 26 before and has always been a guy that could knock out 30 if he got it together. So is your point the juiced ball isn't helping, or that 35 is too high of a watermark to say "this is artificially inflating power numbers"

rickiep00h posted:Even then I'm not convinced, to be honest. He has five more home runs compared to last year with about the same number of PAs and similar numbers in general. I can chalk that up to flukey wind patterns no problem. Though doing it in ORACLE PARK is a little suspicious. You have to recognize the rate in which long time home run records are being demolished this year means the ball is juiced right? Its not all better conditions / more true outcomes / different swing styles.

Instead of mercy rules, add 3 more bullpen slots and 2 more bench position players. Players make more and star pitchers and position players have a lower chance of injury

As someone that has hated the Red Sox for years and years, its great to see Papi healthy and happy, walking around well. Its a blessing he is OK after what happened.

It was super odd that Miley got good randomly anyways and I expected his crash down to earth to be coming soon. Oh no, what will the Astros do with only 4 all star and 2 HOF pitchers.

Intruder posted:Can you believe the audacity of fans of a sports team to be concerned that their good player is no longer good? What a strange thing to be concerned about Commone man, I appreciate when we all freaked out when Verlander was not good for a year, but everyone had to expect Miley to come back to earth eventually. He was a career 4.5ish ERA guy and 1.4 WHIP for his career until 2018. He doesn't have a track record of being a good pitcher. I didn't make effort posts about Ryan Goins when he stopped hitting RISP over his head in that bizarro 2016 or whenever season. Also you literally have the best hitting team of the modern era, coupled with 2 HOF starting pitchers. You are also still going to have the best starting pitching rotation in the playoffs!

alpha_destroy posted:You know, with the league having teams named Indians and Braves, I can't exactly give the benefit of the doubt to idea the name Maroons refers innocently and only to the color and not, you know, the people. I can't find anything with either the baseball or the hockey team that would lead me to believe they are referring to anything but the colour. I think its pretty safe to say its about the same as calling a team "The Reds" (which has nothing to do with Russians) Hand Knit posted:There's also a track record of one time Blue Jays pitchers flying airplanes into buildings in New York City. Yeeech. I totally blocked out Lidles shorts stint as a BJ. That has to the make the Blue Jays the team with the most former players that died while operating a plane, right? vincentpricesboner fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Sep 12, 2019 |

Ammat The Ankh posted:Walker is 100% getting dinged entirely because of Coors Field. And you know what? Good. gently caress Coors Field. The stat about his away OPS still being better than Griffey Jr, Tony Gwynn , Reggie Jackson and Roberto Clemente means he should 100% be in the hall, Coors be damned. He is 8th all time WAR for an outfielder. Its a loving joke he isn't in.

Of course he's not as valuable as a starter in terms of innings in a year, but in the post deadball era, is there a better pitcher by ERA or WHIP? In terms of a single guy getting an out, I'd wager Mo was the best I have ever seen or will ever see. vincentpricesboner fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Sep 17, 2019 |

Im late to the convo but I am fine with the juiced ball, but I totally get where these elderly dudes in this thread are coming from about being upset about the equipment being changed for stats/records purposes. Like, if they let the NL use aluminum bats next year, we would think their stats are garbage too.
