Thanks ump.

haha

Maybe Hahn's vote of confidence helped. Pollock forgot how to hit. Yet another player that comes to the Sox to have his career die.

HOLY SHEETS!!!

Shit, Pollock is going to fuck this up.

Dumbest organization in baseball. AINEC. They don't even know to value OBP/wOBA. This has been common knowledge for 20 years now.

Because offense is down across baseball.

I had no idea Pito was up to .240

Yeah, and what sucks is that by the time he maxes out he'll be in his walk year.

He gone

Nobody that was ok with Sheets wanted him to play anything other than DH against RHP.

Kopech is gonna throw 4 innings again. If Cleveland is going to be this patient all season they're going to be a threat in the division.

OMG

Yep, and counting 2020 against him is not fair to him. Long Covid is no joke.

Humidity also helps. Water vapor(18g/mol) is lighter than air, which is 78% N2(28g/mol) 21%O2(32g/mol) and 1% other stuff like argon and CO2.

It doesn't, it's exactly what you said. I wasn't saying that to take away from him, more to add to how good Moncada is. His stint at AAA when he was showing power makes me hopeful that he could be #back

Yeah, he's still a top 10 3B and that position is loaded throughout baseball.

Like I said, the whole thing with Moncada is that people expected a guy capable of putting up 7+win seasons and they got 4-5 wins.

You're weakening infield defense at two positions though. The value Moncada gives as a defender at 3B makes up for it. Burger is a low OBP hack that only hits for power against LHP anyway.

xwOBA doesn't account for the 2022 baseballs, so it means nothing. There are barrels going for outs this year. When there's enough of a sample size and they're only comparing it against 2022 batted balls, I'll listen.

Who do they have besides those guys outside of Grandal, who seems to be battling a gimpy knee? Also, I will not expect anything from Vaughn the rest of the season until he proves that his wrist is ok.

Burger has always been a low OBP guy, just like a lot of the rest of this team. Batting average is only important for guys that don't walk, like TA. If TA suddenly started hitting .280 instead of .310+ he'd be a fringe guy to me. Is a hit worth more than a walk? sure, because you can only score on a walk if the bases are loaded. Hit a lot of 2B and HR and it makes up for it. wOBA is a nice stat. Better than OBP tbh. The Sox are 25th in baseball in wOBA.

I just happen to think that hitting for power and the ability to get on base are the most important things for a MLB hitter. I really don't care if a hitter is hitting .240 if they're getting on base at a .350+ clip with 25+ bombs. Just make fewer outs. I couldn't give two shits about the BA column. OBP tells me more.

I was close. Was working, didn't have time to look it up.
