NL West Talk

No. No it doesnt.

Of course it does. But your ignorance does not surprise me. Yaz has more homeruns, more RBI, more runs scored, more total bases and more base on balls. Too obvious to the astute fan but not so much to the novice like yourself.

He has more bases on balls... And an OBP like 90 points lower.

But look at the production. Better in every category that counts except BA

You're right, getting on base isn't important at all.

 

[Montalban]

You're right, getting on base isn't important at all.

Posey is ahead in one category. For a guy hitting one hundred points lower to be ahead in almost every other offensive category show he's hitting a hard .235 or Posey is hitting a soft .330. There is just no getting around it no matter how you try and twist it.

 

[Montalban]

I'd like to see them get a closer at the deadline.

1. He's played like 20 more games. Yaz is still hitting for more power, but his ISO (which is SLG-BA) is only like 30 points higher. Posey's ISO is well above the league average. You're a fucking idiot if you think that's soft.
2. Lol RBIs
3. Not making outs is among the most important things you can do at the plate. And not only is Yaz's OBP barely above average, Posey's is among the best in the NL.
4. We're comparing the offense of a corner OF to a catcher.

Good luck with this, but you can't fix stupid.

Feed the trolls at your own risk. If you are doing this more as a personal thought exercise, more power to you. But if you actually are attempting to have an intelligent discussion, good luck to you.

There is a reason why there is only 1 person banned from the Giants board here.

Don't tell me you are one of those chumps who think RBIs are not important. Good god.

Still, words have meanings.

Player A walks
Player B hits a double, Player A advances to 3rd
Player C grounds out, Player A scores

Who had more to do with that run scoring?

 

[navamind]

Imagine not being able to post on your own team board

I notice they all followed me here. This is the new Giants board. If you behave yourselves I’ll let you stay

 

[Montalban]

Meanwhile, the most interesting team in baseball rolls on. 2-1 Giants

 

[Montalban]

I had to laugh this morning when the ESPN guy reported that the Giants won last night. In a voice dripping with incredulity, he shouted "Somehow they just keep on winning". Shoot, the Giants are a good team. They may not have a bunch of stars but they are a good TEAM. That's why they keep winning.
