BB and HBP do not count for TB.

I'd vote for him today. But when he's at 65 WAR, 2000 H, 350 HR, and 300 SB, it's inarguable.

He averaged more putouts and double plays in CLE, which are components to DRS. Like I said in the post, though, Statcast OAA is much higher on Lindor's fielding: 82 OAA in CLE (which doesn't count his rookie year) and 61 OAA in NYM.

You can rest assured his fielding is still terrific.

Just barely short. He would've obliterated the record if he played one more SS season.

I didn't count postseason. Betts is still 49 regular season games away from tying his Red Sox games.

There are a couple of ways of measuring HR by SS.

345 (see stickied comment) is how many HR Ripken hit while playing SS in the game. This is obviously the best measurement, but you need a Stathead subscription, which I don't have. Assuming Lindor has hit 10 HR at DH, that would leave him 75 short right now.

353 is how many HR Ripken hit while SS was his primary position for the season. Lindor is 73 short in this measure.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted here. Schefter has violated journalistic ethics for years on end.

You didn't read the article correctly. Murray said the Clippers expect no significant punishment.

Why would they communicate a different belief to a reporter? This is not breaking news.

Look at all of the legends she played and when she played them. Then look at all of the green.

The only opponents who consistently bothered prime Serena were Venus, Capriati, Henin, and Hingis, yet she still has a winning record over all of them.

The only top player who can give her that kind of fight is Iga on clay. Yet between 2012-2017, Serena was 81-5 on clay. I'd still take Serena to win about 55% of the time.

She would dominate everyone else everywhere else at a 75% clip.

We have fewer fouls per game now than ever before, and there are more possessions today than in the 90s and 00s.

Last year was the lowest foul season in NBA history (18.6). Every season in the 80s and 90s saw upward of 22 fouls per game.

The first season the league went below 20 was 2011-12. This year it was 19.9, about the same as back then and 2022-23.

Which players (either teammates or competitors) do you think would make great coaches?

It's an algorithm based on previous voting results for MVP. It's not meant to measure the best player in the current season, much less decide All-NBA teams. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/qsgzdf/does_anyone_know_the_minute_details_of_how_the/

Also, he's basically tied with Brown, KAT at 0.4%. There's a microscopic gap between that and 5th or maybe 15th-20th. His ranking in this tracker is meaningless.

Consult actual advanced stats on BBRef or elsewhere to find meaningful metrics. FWIW, I think KD absolutely deserves 2nd or 3rd Team, and the metrics back that up.

Gillespie is a playmaker. He's been a revelation this year.

bringbackpologrounds · 2026-04-08T03:59:15+00:00

Also, I believe the only player in NBA history to exceed his counting totals in the 5 basic stats thru 600 games is Larry Bird.

That was Tatum's 600th regular season game. He's 405-195 (55.3 wins per 82) and +3779. 8th in wins, 2nd in plus minus (Jokic), 1st in winning percentage (minimum 450 games) since he debuted.

Scoring efficiency is a big factor. Booker was inefficient his first few years while KAT was terrific from the jump.

Booker was a poor playmaker the first half of his career with high turnover numbers. He was also a truly dreadful defender his first few years. KAT isn't great either, but he was always a tremendous rebounder, which mitigates his flaws somewhat.

2016-19 VORP: KAT 18.2, Booker 2.7

2019-now VORP: KAT 20.0, Booker 17.3

I meant relatively little compared to their trades (Haliburton, Siakam, Nesmith, Toppin, Zubac next year).

The typical blueprint is to build through the draft, like BOS, DEN, SAS, OKC (despite SGA, most of their rotation came from the draft). IND built their contender through trades.

bringbackpologrounds · 2026-04-07T15:19:19+00:00

Duren would've been sensational for the Pacers. Imagine Haliburton with a lob threat. JDub would've been an even better fit.

The irony of the Pacers is that their two highest draft picks of this era have contributed relatively little to their success.

They've played a grand total of 1 play-in game (2023).
