Soler will hit. He has a track record. The one I'm not sure about is Chapman. Not sure why people were expecting so much from him at the plate. I think he's hit over .250 once and has struck out over a thousand times in 6 and a half seasons. Good defender who might run into one every once in a while but that's about it.
He has a track record of being so streaky that he takes entered seasons off. Then he scorches the ball for an entire season. I like the IDEA of Soler more than I actually like Soler.
I like the signing though. The Giants needed a couple of guys who can turn the game around with one swing
What?
Welcome? You certainly came in with guns blazing. You'll find we all have our favorite players to lambast from time to time but it doesn't come without pushback (as you've already seen). Please check out the "Introduce Yourself" thread and enjoy the banter here.
I wonder why? Both have been successful relievers in the past. I expect they will be key pieces of the bullpen again before all is said and done.
Of course you would wonder why. The stats this guy posted were invented out of whole cloth. That’s why I wonder if much of his post is a typo and he just needs to clarify what he intended to say.
Recency bias on my part I suppose. I think he blew the game Saturday night in the 9th giving up those 3 runs and that was probably fresh in my mind and I assumed his info was accurate..
Seems Ahmed is doing what we hoped.
At the risk of incurring your wrath and disdain is this a defensive stat? I’ve never heard of it
It's a defensive stat. If you google it you can see exactly what it is. As a team ... our OAA is really good ...
Its just one metric, but he's pretty good at robbing people of base hits when he goes to his left
So we are strong up the middle on defense along with a solid defensive catcher with a great arm. Good sign
Our 3rd baseman is supposed to be good too.
