May 4, 20178 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 4, 2017 -> 03:24 PM) That makes sense though. Trout is doing what he usually does, while Judge is a rookie vastly exceeding expectations. I was going to say that it does make sense. Fans, media love the new shiny toy.
May 4, 20178 yr Seems to be a lot more lat injuries for pitchers this year, and a lot more groin tweaks for position players. It is weird that certain injuries seem to occur all at once. Maybe it is the way training has changed over the years.

Yep Trevor Story was the rookie flavor of the early season last year. Add to it that it's the Yankees and voila media sensation. I hate the Yankees even more now that they just pull 2 rookie power hitters out of their butts with Sanchez last year and now Judge .

May 10, 20178 yr Familia really blew up today in the 9th. Probably a lost cause this season, with Harvey likely to be dumped and Cespedes battling health issues. Granderson might be done, has had a good career. Edited May 10, 20178 yr by caulfield12

May 11, 20178 yr Am I wrong for thinking that the Mets should clean house? I talking about Alderson, Collins, Harvey and training staff. Edited May 11, 20178 yr by Joshua Strong
May 12, 20178 yr This is totally random, and apropos of nothing, but is there any advanced stat that accounts for SBs when looking at a player's OPS? The way I'm thinking about it, if a player gets a single and then steals a base, that could be looked at as a double. Therefore, someone like Billy Hamilton, who is 19 for 21 in SB attempts, adds a net value of +17 once on base. So, while his normal OPS is a mediocre .671, his SB-adjusted OPS (SB differential + TBs / ABs) is a pretty solid .793. What do ya'll think?

A single + SB is not equal to a double, you can't score a runner from first on a single and a SB.
