Look at Ray Ray Run

He's had 9 30 rolling AB instances in his career where he's ran a xwoba within 10 points of his current one. Ill believe it when the guy is good for an extended period.

100%. Top 5 at a loaded position.

Hicks is an enigma.

xwoba stats aren't very meaningful at 30 ab's Guy had the fastest hands I've seen. I've seen hands as fast, but never faster hands. That was his entire game and it covered up for a ton. The second he lost a tick, his career was over. Volatile profile, but a ton of fun to watch. He could start so much later than anyone else.

Dudes been popping out of his hat since he was 20. Just a big noggin. People were slow on him because of his goofy body.

Nothing with Jose profile says roids in my opinion. Nothing upticked, he just got in the cage and learned to turn and burn pitches on the inner half. Love that guys game.

He got to more lift in AAA once he got comfortable at the level (although small sample). He's ticked up the EV (especially max which is what matters here) to the pull side already, which was something we didn't see from J ram until he was in the big leagues for multiple years. So he's already made 75% of the transition. Lift is easier than EV gains. Is it a guarantee? Wouldn't say that, but then I think he hits 40 doubles a year.

It was a s%*# defensive play by antonacci, happy to settle that debate.

Also hit only 19 homers in his first 310+ big league games.

Nah, Jose has never hit the ball all that hard relatively and he doesn't have great bat speed, he just learned to turn on balls and maximize pull power on pitches he could. Antonacci has made that same change, he just hasn't perfected lift over liners. He'll get there. Jose always been stocky. In fact it was a knock on him as a prospect for development.

I know this guy who's been saying that for a while now....

Antonacci is a star. Tests the boundaries.

The walks have to go away. Let them hit it.

Crazy what this offense has been doing given the dead abs at the bottom. Kelenic stinks.

Says she's done 1 game before today on the link provided.

That's such a chris sale stat Sale loved living inside to righties early in his career.

When his timing is off he guesses more. This has been a definite pattern so far in his career. He is a roller coaster type player.

John so bad, Accidentally watching Sox broadcast.

In between again and guessing.

Statcast hasn't been perfect, but none of those were even close. Obviously strikes.

How did they not challenge a single one of those pitches to Mune? Insane.

My contribution to the bait thread. I just want to say, even Getz supporters can't claim most of the reasons this team is OK because most of the successes were still guys from the prior regime and they gave him no blame for that, so no credit is owed. Getz still stinks obviously. Banni is awesome, always has been. And this team provides some entertainment for the first time in years. Those are all true. I want nothing more than for WE to dunk on me as a Getz supporter because this team stays in "contention" into August. He'll be wrong on credit Getz, but we'll both be celebrating the outcome. Won't happen since the pitching stinks, but still.

How? Where did I say he would stink? My entire point was he would be good enough (along with James Wood) for the team to have to play him all year allowing him to set the record.

For all who want to invest, Sam is 75-1 to win ROY. Lock it in! Grant Taylor has been amazing, but Davis Martin breakout is going to make #2 very hard to be correct. Murakami feels like a lock. Vargas has become an entirely new player and Curtis Mead is dog water. This was a whiff! Justin Lebron still can't hit for average in the SEC, this was a whiff! 3/5 in play after 7 weeks isn't too shabby though!

8-9-1 and you bring in your closer early. Weird choice.
