Yeah, I value on base percentage a lot more than batting average. Batting average is neat if you’ve got a guy like Ichiro or Boggs or Gwynn. But OBP is, IMO, the far better metric. However, if we had a guy making a race for a batting title this board would be all in. Maybe except for you because you’re a curmudgeon and @DrungoHazewoodbecause he’d be telling us all about how Hot Cakes O’Houlihan had it harder in the 1896 Federal League.

They should just paint WALLTIMORE across it in giant letters. I don’t know what else they could do with it except bring it in maybe 10 feet. Overall, I liked the wall this year. I didn’t see as many doubles and triples as expected but I think it was an overall positive for us. That said, I think they overdid it by a few feet. I wouldn’t mind if they brought it in 5-10 feet but kept the height the same. But I took Ruiz’s tweet to mean that they wouldn’t really change the new LF wall and that they were reconsidering other outfield dimensions. I don’t know what they could do other than move the CF wall back into the sod farm a bit. I can’t imagine them touching the flag court.

I think you mean Raffy when he was on the Rangers. I’m hoping maybe the voting has become a bit more sophisticated since then. I’d love to see Mateo win one.

I don’t know if Mateo hit well enough to win one.

Not seeing 80 in the loss column is awesome. It’s only one win but 83-79 looks better than 82-80.

Don’t disagree. But Jamie Moyer was just getting started at that age. Outlier, I know.

This gonna be Rougie’s last major league game?

Someone stop Melanie Newman.

I feel like Watkins could become decent. He’s got good movement.

The Chirinos 10 year helmet is beautiful.

Won’t see 80 losses in the loss column. Awesome.

Glad to see Vlad get screwed on a strike 3 looking.

Vavra looks like Vinnie Chase from Entourage.

Happy for Vavra. Awesome shot.

RUNNNNNNSSSS

I can argue with what Rodriguez has done.

4 runs seems like being down 10 with this offense.

Amazing how that works!

113 is going to sound that loud. That ball Biggio hit sounded similar, but no one's saying how the ball sounds different off Cavan Biggio's bat.

He's the most insufferable one of them all.

Ultimately, I'm happy for Judge because he's a good guy. And I think he's good for a game that needs recognition, needs superstars. But I think this was the most overblown, over-hyped "record" that I can recall. It was so anticlimactic last night and...I dunno, it's just given everyone with an opinion a chance to make a referendum on who the "real" home run champ is. The whole thing has just been so obnoxious not because of anything that Judge has done but because of everyone on the periphery.

Adley, no doubt about it.

Then these people are bigger dorks than I thought. You should know better in regards to bringing up Mayflowers on a Baltimore board!

LMAO, Eric Longenhagen didn't care that "April Stowers" was the one that asked that question, he just straight up told her that he doesn't look like more than a 4th outfielder and then tried to sugarcoat it.
