altuve has the best shot as of now. if acuna is for real and produces at his highest level, maybe we're still talking a < 1% chance for either of them at their peak also note fields are way smaller and defenses are way better nowadays abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 11:46 on Aug 23, 2017 |

MrMojok posted:I've been thinking about something for a while. I've thought for years we wouldn't see anyone hit .400 again. Nobody can maintain the level needed against modern pitching to finish up there. Nope. The thing with Judge is that he's always going to strike out a lot. Plate discipline can cut down on that by some but when you're swinging that hard, it's much more difficult to adjust to a pitch with late movement, or to lay off one that breaks out of the zone.

If we're talking about who carried a >400 average the latest into the year (post-Williams), I think Olerud 93 still holds that record. There was a Tony Fernandez year in either the late 90s or early 00s where he also was over 400 into June or July.

George Brett was over .400 at September 19th in 1980. Checking Gwynn's 1994 he was never over .400 after May which is kind of amazing, because he was always right there. Like he rarely went below .380 and spent a ton of games over .390 but didn't crack .400 at any point before the strike.

Albert hit #610 last night, now in sole possession of most HR by a player born outside the US and 2 back from Thome. He's also at 2931 hits and 1896 RBI .

still irritated that pillar got thrown out last night. Dude took pride in never having been thrown out like Jeter, and he breaks the streak on some everyday bullshit like that.

NiceGuy posted:I think that's somewhat of an understatement. He coulda been a contenda' At the time I honestly thought Nomar would end up the best player out of him/Arod/Jeter. I mean this was a somewhat legit debate back at that point. I'm also dumb, especially looking back at what Rodriguez had already accomplished. But I wasn't the only one.

tadashi posted:It's amazing how fast Nomar's career fell off a cliff. I guess it was somewhat injury related? Almost completely injury-related. That wrist sheath injury he had completely changed his swing, and then he had I think an Achilles injury, and then his groin exploded at the beginning of his first full season with the Cubs. He was never the same after all of that.

I feel like late 90s Nomar really didn't have a comparable in the history of the game (Honus wager?)...he was really something

Braves are bringing up closer or at least setup man of the future A.J. Minter. Max Fried going the other way to get back to starting games again.

Sergio Romo's WHIP since joining the Rays is down to 0.800 in 15 IP, from 1.400 in 25 IP with the Dodgers. He's fixed, hallelujah.

For a brief, shining moment Rajai Davis was my favorite player in the world last year. I think my exact post was something like "gently caress you, Chapman, you wife-beating piece of poo poo" except in all caps and with no punctuation. And possibly some typos. And bodily fluids flying towards the screen.
