Schoop, AL player of the month?

[Moose Milligan]

.369/.365/.702 1.067 OPS 7 homers, 13 RBI not including tonite.

Who else could make a claim?

[murph]

Sounds good to me.   I just love how confident he looks at the plate these days.   Every at bat right now he KNOWS he is going to do some damage.  

[Moose Milligan]

Haha, no walks.  Maybe not.

[Mendoza Line]

Is that BA a misprint? How is his BA higher than his OBP?

[esmd]

He had a SAC fly.  So the AB doesn't count against BA, but it does against OBP.

I don't care about 0 walks when you're hitting .369, fwiw.  But a few would be good going forward.  LOL.

The real sad one is AJ.  .280 BA, .316 OBP.

.316 is in line with his career OBP.  The .421 slugging is his lowest though since his first season in Baltimore.  Could be scaring off some teams.  That and his defense in center.

Mookie Betts maybe? .361/.448/.615 1.063 7 HR, 16 RBI and 19 Walks. 

 

Edit: Didn't count tonight's game. I guess he hit a walk off HR. Not sure what else he did.

I mean, the walks aren't really relevant when you're hitting .360.

But Jose Ramirez is even hotter.  .324/.425/.716 with wOBA of .469.

Schoop is tied for 3rd in wOBA though.  So he's doing pretty well for himself.

I hate the fact that the Red Sox got Betts in the 5th round of the draft.   That guy is an awesome baseball player.

Special player. He might have a shot at MVP if not for that Trout guy.

I think Betts has an excellent chance to beat Trout.    But I’ll worry about that when the season's over.

Yeah, it'll be Betts.  No one is watching enough O's games to notice Schoop.

Let’s see how the final four games of the month go.    That can move the needle a lot when you’re talking about a month’s worth of statistics.    But all things being equal, I agree the award will go to a player on a team that’s winning.

He was 0fer before the walkoff. I know because I picked him in Beat the Streak and I was looking at my streak resetting to zero until Kimbrel blew the save in the top of the 9th, Rodney blew the save in the bottom of the 9th, and Betts got another AB in the 10th.
