MLB Daily Thread: 8/4/17 Football is Back, Dodgers Win Again,Porcello Still Sucks

[Rock Strongo]

Here we go......Pump the breaks, Ive heard the same on Beniditi and Boegarts

Maybe Devers will be great, Maybe he wont........Its that simple

Judge may suck right now, but i think Devers may be signing up for .300 34 and 75 in early August when he is 26

my point being, devers was playing pro ball at an age where judge was hitting highschool pitching.

i see judge fell below .300

i see him as a .275 ish guy with power.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

dirt isn't happy right now

Turned it off after the 3 errors in the 1st put them in a 2-0 hole

2-0 against Kluber feels like 13-0 with this horrific lineup

Watched "Ghost" with my daughters, they never saw, figured they should once in their lifetime

Ya know, i hope you are soooo right, Id sign up for .275 with power, Im starting to get concerned that wont even happen......Guy looks no different than Chris Carter right now

I heard about the errors but didn't know what they were. What happened?

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Kluber and Sale

Their own category in the AL

Kluber is just filthy

Ugggh, horrific ones

Routine grounder leading off the game to Headley, booted...As routine as it gets

1 out, man on second

Routine grounder to Tyler Wade at 2nd, booted.....As routine as it gets

1st and 3rd 1 out, instead of inning over

base hit RF, runner heads to Third, Clint Frazier throw heads to the Upper Deck


Switch to Cinemax - "Ghost"

he will figure it out. .260-.275 or so range i think.

i just cant recall a player having as huge a first half as he did, do so poorly in the 2nd half.

82 games 1.139 OPS in the first half, .329 avg 30 and 66.
19 games .657 OPS in the 2nd half, .164 avg 4 and 9

he has time

Sick.......The biggest difference has to be his chase rate (which Soxfan will get for us)

First half you couldnt get him to chase out of the zone, seems now he swings at everything, and 90% of his K's seem to be balls

back to devers, i heard a very very solid comparison with his swing

vlad guererro

its there. vlad could drive a ball out of the dirt. golf type stuff. devers does the same thing. i just hope he doesnt chase everything like vlad did at some point. vlad would swing at awful shit and still hit it. its why he never drew walks.

 

[soxfan1468927]

Before the All Star break, Judge was swinging at 24.1% of pitches outside the zone and since then he has been swinging at 30.6% of pitches out of the zone.

24.1% would be 12th best in the AL out of 87 qualified hitters. 30.6% would be 46th.

Remember Brennan Boesch in the first half of 2010? Oh man.

1st half: 65 games, .990 OPS, .342 BA
2nd half: 68 games, .458 OPS, .163 BA
