Adam Jones BB% has sky rocketed this season. K% is within his normal range.

Career: 4.5%

Career low in 2014: 2.8%

2015: 4.1%

2016: 6.7%

Interestingly, we have seen this before.

2009: 6.9%.

Does this have something todo with leading off? He has lead of every game since May 27. None before it.

1st: 6.3%, 144 PA

2nd: 0.0%, 23 PA

3rd: 7.7%, 117 PA

4th: 3.9%, 18 PA

5th: 4.2%, 12 PA

I'm going to say no, leading off has nothing todo with it. The low PA's when batting 2,4, or 5 are insignificant.

My guess, Buck is had him leading off because he likes the power at the top of the order and because Adam was already taking more walks. Like he did in 2009.

Why the increase BB%? Inexplicable. Lets just hope it continues.

Maybe Scotty's influence with Adam is paying off?

No offense but it's hard to be in a celebratory mood when the team is down by 7 runs. :noidea:

None taken.

It's my fault for posting it as late as I did. It was a 2-1 game when he hit it.

This team is just depressing to watch right now. All of these hitters having great years and it's slowly going to waste because the starting pitching is completely incapable of having a shutdown inning after the offense scores runs for them.

I tell you the truth guys, I would seriously consider trading Adam Jones for Chris Sale. I think the Whitesox would consider that deal. Any thoughts.

You're kidding, right? You think the White Sox are going to trade Chris Sale for one player, who is 3 years older than Sale?

      Baumann DFA

      I disagree. 2023-2024 Baumann stats: 3.69 ERA, 4.41 FIP, 4.77 xFIP, 4.48 SIERA, 4.90 xERA That paints a clear picture of a 4.50 ERA guy to me. I trust the peripherals, especially when it comes to relievers where ERA is very noisy.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      By justD · Posted

      As soon as Jorge's ball appeared to be heading toward splitting the gap, I yelled out, "Make it a triple!!!" and then saw him kick it into gear nearing 2B  and we were all on our feet yelling for him to get to 3rd, like cheering on a stud you'd picked to win the Derby.  The whole place erupted when he got there safe.  When Gunnar hit his, I was scared to death as he rounded second and you could kinda hear the crowd holding their breath. When he got in safe to third, I think everyone was just a lot more relieved than pumped up.  Jorge is like a gazelle - GH just has huge strides (my amateur analysis there  ). "Those were fun to watch." Indeed!!!

      I'm not sure if anyone on the winning-record, way-in-the-back part of the waiver line is chomping at the bit to pick him up, so probably no minor trade to be had here.  Some team in the White Sox / Marlins / Rockies / Angels neighborhood will almost certainly claim him though, as he's got to be an upgrade over somebody in their bullpens.

      Except he’s been better than that, so that’s not an accurate description of him.

      Felix Bautista 2024 (Monitoring his injury rehab)

      By scarey1999 · Posted

      Not a subscriber so can’t read it, but this is a copy/paste from the MLB app Orioles “Injuries and Moves” section where they recently provided an update on Felix: The secondary procedures (both common after Tommy John surgery) cleaned up scar tissue in Bautista’s right elbow and moved the nerve to free it up from compression. His reconstructed right UCL continues to heal well, and his recovery timeline won’t be affected.
