While still playing Frazier in 141 games.  As you stated, his defense cratered, yet he STILL got into 141 games.  Sure sounds like defense is their #1 priority, no?    

Alarming for a team that’s supposedly using analytics to make decisions.

Nice try.  He started 106 games at 2B.  I would guess the frequency of his starts decreased as the year went on.  They started the season committed to Frazier who, since 2018 had both strong DRS and OAA numbers.  He didn’t come as advertised.   They greatly reduced his time at 2B in the 2nd half.

They shouldn't have greatly reduced his time, they should have released him. They still played him

Yes, a lot of terrible decisions on the way to 101 wins.

Oh yea Adam Fraizer was definitely how they got 101 wins.

Maybe not.  But we can all make plenty of bad decisions in life (and managing a team) and still overcome!  Or we can look at the molehill and whine about it.

He looks like he’s lost two steps on the basepaths.

Statcast supports that idea but it's still early.

Adam Frazier is the Kevin Bacon of the Hangout message board.  Regardless of the topic being discussed, you're never more than six steps (at most) from talking about ol' number 12.

He looked like he had a trailer attached yesterday. I didn’t think that play at home would be close at all. 
 

Also, learned something new.  OPS+ can go into the negative.  Urias is at -48.  Yikes.  Hope he gets hot soon (likely won’t be in Pitt brrr).

Most of us learned that one when Davis was on the team.

That was a very dark time.  I think I’ve mostly blocked out all those memories.

I mean he did come up with some really clutch hits last year.

He produced arguably the best moment of the year: the two-out, two-strike double down the line that scored Mateo with the game-tying run in the 9th inning of the season finale with Tampa on Sept.  17.   

But honestly, can we just move on?   Nobody’s changing their mind about Frazier, and it’s 2024.   Enough of that topic already.
