Byron Buxton is one PA short of qualifying for the batting title, so after taking the penalty for that, he leads the majors in OPS with 1.344. Is there any specific reasons he's doing so well this year?

He seems more comfortable at the plate but he's always flashed this potential

Pujols has hit so poorly in his last few years his career average dropped below .300. He hasn't had an OPS over .800 since 2012. He's been cooked for awhile.

Altuve had an outside shot but last year and his start this year have not been great. Still too early to say if he's really been effected by fans turning on him, he was a pretty universally popular player before the cheating scandal came out.

I think he was affected more by not being able to cheat anymore than the fans turning on him

So I was looking at players the Orioles might draft and according to Henry Davis' wikipedia entry:

I guess I'll take it if he can hit but I'd rather have a player without the baggage

I'm sorry what the gently caress?

e: nevermind I looked up the revision history and it was just a weirdo trolling his wiki entry, the citations were just to scouting stuff

I actually have had a more nuanced take than that. Their pitching, despite Taillon being pretty poo poo, has been better than even I expected and Cole and Chapman have been the best starter and RP in the AL but their hitting has been utter garbo. They had Stanton hitting a homer every other time up for like 2 weeks and they are STILL 24th in the majors in runs scored... their hitting has been objectively terrible. The idea that my saying that their hitting has been terrible when it literally has been is so triggering to people is funny.

I'm surprised you even know what the word nuanced means

I'm convinced it's this. It doesn't help that the games I've watched that he's been in his apparently stellar defense has been just awful.

I feel like he doesn't want to be there and nobody else does either.

yeah I wasn't even half joking, you can pinpoint where the season fell off the rails to the exact moment we had the covid outbreak and he spent two or three weeks on the covid IL

obviously there are other idiots preventing the team from reaching the 85% but he feels like the center of it, and I can't imagine the guys who got vaccinated aren't stewing about not being able to go out and do stuff because of the players/staff who are holding them back

The NFL changed where kickoffs are kicked from just because there was one guy who was really good at returning kickoffs.
