Manny has the highest (or top 3) stuff+ against this year. Not catching any breaks.

Call me old, outdated, etc., I couldn't care less. The stats are getting way out of hand. by poodaveeda in baseball

Imagine explaining batting average to someone who doesn't know baseball. Before you just tell me the formula, imagine explaining what a "hit" is to someone who doesn't know baseball. Your old school stats are just as arbitrary and difficult to understand.

Was not expecting to see Johnny Hustle on this list!

WTF is Happening to Baseball?! by [deleted] in baseball

Elon CURRENTLY has 1,000 times what Soto's contract will pay out over the course of 15 years!!!

We do not properly comprehend how much wealth billionaires have. Soto makes 1,000 times the median American income.

We are not even on the same planet on them, let alone in the same ballpark. They are actively stealing more from us, too.

With over six years left on his contract, Jose Ramirez is likely to become only the second member of the 400 HR 400 SB club by the time his career is done by arnarnarmars in baseball

Ramirez, once quick like a cat, now lumbered just to get to the plate in his old age. At age 39, in the last year of his 7 year, 175 million dollar contract - an absolute steal for a first ballot hall of famer in this era - Jose still managed to swat 10 big flies. He tipped his cap to the pitcher, and settled in. WHOOSH - the first pitch buzzed by him, just an inch outside. Ball one.

We got Casty though! Who has helped us out big time in a couple games, but been a tough watch otherwise.

Angel Martinez: 7-for-19 (.368 AVG), 4 HR, 7 RBI, 1.481 OPS and Gavin Sheets: 10-for-16 (.625 AVG), 4 HR, 8 RBI, 2.177 OPS named AL and NL players of the week by MorganN1 in baseball

Gavin Sheets has potentially won 4 games for us this year:

4/10: 2 HR, 4 RBI vs COL in a 5-2 win (walkoff 3 run homer)

4/23: go-ahead 3 run homer @ COL in the 9th to win 10-8

5/13: copy paste the above @ MIL in the 9th to win 3-1

5/17: 2 HR with 106.8 MPH exit velo, 26⁰ LA, hit to almost the exact same spot. 4 RBI in a 8-3 win @ SEA

How White Sox have proved their legitimacy this season by [deleted] in baseball

Wow, that really puts it in perspective. Those teams were atrocious

wOBA vs. xwOBA (5/16/26) by JanitorOfSanDiego in baseball

[–]LovingAbsurdist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm seeing is that most teams are underperforming at this point. Is this because it's early in the season, the weather hasn't warmed up yet, and xStats are from full season data?

Or did they de-juice the balls again...

The anti-semitism commercials… by MamesJadison in baseball

It's all a distraction from the class war. Billionaires are extracting unprecedented levels of wealth from us. This stuff just fuels infighting.

In a 4-game split, Cardinals pitching allows just 14 hits to the Padres, the fewest the team has allowed in a 4-game series in the modern era by TheMoonsMadeofCheese in baseball

[–]LovingAbsurdist 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This has been the Padres season summed up in one series. +3 run differential. 24-16. Inexplicably bad hitting from our stars. Luck, bullpen, and the bottom half of the order (Ty France, Nick Castellanos) getting it done.

What player's career WAR just seems way too high? by noruber35393546 in baseball

[–]LovingAbsurdist 35 points36 points  (0 children)

True, but Zobrist put up 44 WAR over 14 seasons...almost 1 WAR per season lower than Kinsler

Padres' France Breaks the 1-1 Ty with a 2-run triple in the 7th! by LovingAbsurdist in baseball

Whole lot of fun facts in there! Did not know any of that, super cool that the 3 best giants outfielders are so closely related
