September 8, 20196 yr 33 minutes ago, The Sir said: Assuming he doesn't hit again tonight, Timmy will have a seven point lead over LeMahieu with twenty games left. I said nobody cares about batting titles anymore, but now because it's Anderson I suddenly care.
September 8, 20196 yr TA7 with 11 BB 93 K but kindakool having a Chi guy leading in BA, another in RBI along with the MiPOY waiting in the wings. Abreu with 30 BB 131 K and Moncada with 38-132. The leader has 159 K.
September 8, 20196 yr It is a big deal if Timmy could pull this off. He would join Luke Appling who won the batting title in 1936 & 1943 and Frank Thomas who won in 1997. The rebuild just gets better and better.
September 8, 20196 yr Anderson out of the lineup today. Really don't get that with him so close to the qualifying threshold. Let the kid play.

September 8, 20196 yr Wtf...resting TA today? After today...he's only 3 ABs from NOT qualifying for title. So stupid...unless he's hurt.

September 9, 20196 yr I think Ricky is trying to get Mendick almost daily abs which really might not be a bad thing.

September 9, 20196 yr People may not think they matter but name the last batting champion in the AL who was not a good baseball player. Bill Mueller the worst winner in the past 25 years. If you remove him, every player since about 1980 was a star with 1/2 of them being HOF'ers. Everyone else is a star. Getting hits still matters and matters even more for a guy like Tim Anderson. Edited September 9, 20196 yr by Look at Ray Ray Run
September 9, 20196 yr I think there are many more fans who (a) want to not care about batting titles, and (b) enjoy saying out loud that they don't care about batting titles, than there are (c) fans who don't care about batting titles. Go Timmy.

September 10, 20196 yr Anyone know what Tim’s stats would be on a 162 game pace? Can I find that out on Fangraphs?

So multiply everything by 1.5. 216 hits, 105 runs, 45 doubles, 24 bombs, 78 RBIs, 24-for-32 in SBs, and 16 walks to 139 strikeouts.

December 4, 20196 yr Tim did a Q&A while on a flight yesterday. There's a lot of good stuff here but this one made it move. He's so good when he stays inside the baseball. This is the approach I want to see Eloy use. Be dangerous.
