southsider2k5 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN 1h Tyler Flowers has struck out 5x in last 28 plate appearances, ever since he went from contacts to glasses. #WhiteSox http://bit.ly/1pgCLuX Before last 28 plate appearances, Tyler Flowers had struck out 100 times in 264 PAs. He attributes it to pitch selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Not to mention his 5 doubles in that time period which doubled his double total for the year....Certainly not ready to say he's turned it around for good, and if they can acquire a catcher at the deadline I'd still do it, but he has certainly looked better since wearing those magical glasses.

Feeky Magee Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 It says a lot about a player when striking out almost 20% of the time over a 28 PA sample size is a noteworthy achievement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Marge: Have you noticed any change in Bart? Homer: New glasses? Marge: No...he looks like something might be disturbing him. Homer: Probably misses his old glasses. Marge: I guess we could get more involved in Bart's activities but then I'd be afraid of smothering him. Homer: Yeah, and then we'd get the chair. Marge: That's not what I meant. Homer: It was, Marge, admit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just is not how baseball works. If tyler flowers strikes out in >1/3 of his PA's like he has been all season there is just no way he's going to hit better than the low .200's unless he hits 40 home runs.

But if you read my post, saying he'll strike out 1/3 of time means he'll be hitting .666!! Really though I was obviously over exaggerating a bit there. His strike outs have been down, yes, but I just wanna see him continue to barrel the ball up, that's what I care about. It's more fun to look at his 7 XBH in this era of magical glasses than it is to look at his 7 Ks Hey would ya look at that, another fun stat to throw out there.

Jake Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) When he was hot, he was carrying a near-40% K rate. That requires you to be extremely successful (read: lucky) on the balls you put in play to remain serviceable, and that's assuming that the reason you're striking out is unrelated to your ability to make solid contact Edited July 26, 2014 by Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Tylers magic has been there all season, he's just now using it for offense. Sox are 8 games above .500 in games Tyler is the catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
