In honor of Verlander's third career no hitter, I present the sad case of Larry Corcoran, pitcher in the 1880's who also had three career no hitters and died in obscurity. https://sports.yahoo.com/unbelievable-story-larry-corcoran-first-pitcher-three-no-hitters-141714011.html This is a pro click.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:It's weird how we've been mega hot for like three weeks now and it's barely registered even for us who watch every game. I'm not even sure what we've been good at on this streak other than scoring 1+ more run than the other team. Acuña's in a minor slump, the injuries have piled up, Dansby hasn't really hit since he came back... I guess the starters have been mostly good but this just doesn't feel like a dominant run except on paper it actually is. Feels like the mark of a really good team, ya know? Like winning without having your best stuff but just having enough. Braves are good!

It probably helps that they have had a few bad teams in there, but the Nats have too (can't we just play the Marlins forever?). Absent the Nats inexplicably taking like 6 of the 7 remaining games they have against each other I really don't see how they could possibly catch them.

Got home just in time to see the tail end of the Cubs/Mariners game, apparently we brought up the dude we traded Edwards for, some 6'9" dude name Wieck which is really loving confusing because we already have a bullpen arm named Wick. Anyway he can do this apparently, which is cool: https://twitter.com/PitchingNinja/status/1168635198071803906

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.

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.

If you hit 35 homers this year chances are good you’d’ve hit 30 in a prior year, and that’s never been shabby. I’m still mystified that there won’t be anybody getting all that close to 60 this year.

IMO Ketel Marte is the poster child for the juiced ball helping out guys by turning soft liners that would be caught into hard liners for XBH's, at warning track flyouts into dingers. He was a middling .700's OPS guy for his entire career, and now this year he's got 28 HR's (more than his previous four seasons combined), OPS'ing .952, and a low key NL MVP candidate with 6.0 bWAR. If you look at the underlying numbers his K/BB is almost identical to last year, he's just making way more hard contact than previous year.

Jorge Soler had a total 38 home runs from 2014 to 2018 in 1132 PAs. This season, 38 in 576 plate appearances Josh Bell had a total 41 home runs from 2016 to 2018 in 1355 PAs. This season, 35 in 574 plate appearances Max Keplar had a total 39 home runs from 2017 to 2018 in 1179 PAs. This season, 36 in 559 plate appearances Xandar Bogaerts had a total 33 home runs from 2017 to 2018 in 1215 PAs. This season, 31 in 598 plate appearances You also have players like Eugenio Suarez who wasn't a bad player but suddenly is a 40 HR hitter after being a 26 HR hitter just 2 years ago.

To be fair to Soler his issue up to this year was a crippling inability to stay healthy. Scouts were pretty agreed that he had power potential for days, he just needed to stay on the field and get AB's. This is Soler's sixth year in MLB and he's literally had a third of his career AB's this year (499 in 2019 out of 1501 total).

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. The rest are all guys with big raw power or several 20 homer seasons in the minors and majors. Eddie Rosario hit 27 as a 25 year old, Mancini has always had big power and was expected to be a slugger while his approach has been improving for several years now. Soler was always a guy that if he put it together was going to mash a pile of dingers, Vogelbach was a guy like Luke Voit who crushed dingers in the minors and seemed to just need a chance and maybe he'd put together a couple of big homer years or flame out spectacularly, and Renfroe was roughly on pace for 35 homeruns the last two years if he'd gotten to 650 PAs. He's always had a ton of power but his approach sucked beyond hitting the ball a million miles (which he still basically is). And half of these guys aren't getting to 35 anyway.

Suarez hit 34 last year and also his OPS is down from last year. Edit: the ball is juiced and homeruns are up yeah. But some of those guys aren't just a result of the ball. alpha_destroy fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Sep 3, 2019 |

Ya he's a way easier one to point to considering he hit basically no homeruns until last year through his entire professional career. On the other hand he's 25 and that sometimes sorta just happens.

Like how many more mid to late 20s hitters who have had several years of increasing HR totals are people going to point to and say HEY ITS ONLY CAUSE OF THE BALL!!! Hitters in their mid to late 20s are usually better than when they were younger!

Calhoun was terrible last year, did a stint on the IL and ended up reworking his entire swing and hit 18 home runs from the end of June until the end of the season. It doesn't really seem that outrageous to see him have 28 with a month to go. And La Stella is right there if you wanna find someone who has benefited from juiced balls Didn't Josh Bell change his swing into more of an uppercut this year too? That dude hits some moon shots with his launch angles, he's obviously a very strong fella Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Sep 3, 2019 |
