We are several weeks into the season and Jake Meyers is 4th on the team in expected wOBA. Maybe make him a starter, Espada?
How do the analytics skeptic crowd like Bagwell et al square Altuve in their minds? He went from being a AAAA player to a Hall of Famer by...
Ronel Blanco has the second lowest expected wOBA in baseball with min 250 pitches thrown. That group includes Tyler Glasnow.
His projections had him in the mid to upper to 20s in the majors entering this season which is reasonable and matches his SwStr this season in...
I see Loperfido’s K rate in the mid-20s once he settles down. I think the big question for him is how often can he lift the ball as he tends to...
I don’t see them as similar hitters at all. Gallo had a 22% SwStr in his age 25 season in AAA which is like double Loperfido’s. He also has much...
I didn’t know Loperfido could do 114 mph. Seems his raw power is beyond question now.
I think this is a fluke based off of his SwStr rate unless he’s watching a ton of strikes (doesn’t seem that way). He seems more like a 25-30 K%...
Am I mistaken or didn’t Loperfido do something similar to begin last season?
His SwStr is like 10%. His K rate will come down.
Looking at Savant, I’m even more impressed. Will be interesting to see his AAA Stuff+ if that becomes available as he doesn’t generate a lot of...
Welcome to Houston, AJ.
Is ABQ’s offense supposed to be trash this season? That’s a very tough environment to pitch in.
Astros desperately need France and Blanco to continue to deliver through this critical stretch of games.
I think his second half swoon must have given them some false hope that the issue last year was acute and had been/could be mitigated.
It’s like half the pitching staff is just gonna be snakebit this season.
They can’t afford to have Brown implode this season. Who replaces him? Tamarez? Lol.
They gotta fix Brown man. He’s better than this. Maybe he’s tipping?
It's scary that he can't even touch 95> so far this season. That would seem suggestive more of a physical issue than a mechanical one (not one...
That's a good point - splurging on Caratini gives you more flexibility to let Diaz play a lot more 1B without taking it on the chin at C like with...
