No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series. Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series. They didn’t play much better. I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy. In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better. They could play closer to the team which played in April and May. -
Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do? I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244. I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power. But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter. They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before. It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard. By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls. Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant. And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone. You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone. Do it! -

His career numbers are pretty much as identical as they can get from either side, and his season numbers are not that different either. .837 OPS lefty, .793 OPS righty this year. -

And the thing is it's not like the Orioles have only been struggling just in September but since about mid June. I'm not sure if Texas or Arizona played like 6 games under 500 as the Orioles have for 3 months but if they did feel free to tell me. -

Yeah it's interesting because we thought the run D would struggle and the pass D would be a strength. The run D has been very solid through 2 games. -
I’m going straight positive on his potential and his trend was going up before the trade. Jake Flaherty comes to mind, based on IP maxing out before the trade. But Roger’s is more a deception Povich type lefty. Believe ME is going on bounce back potential with a full season in. This guy could be a #3. This was a glad you can pitch season for Rogers. As a #567 SP, will take it. I like Stowers off the plate hit capability and that is missing in this lineup to some degree. will be following this for years, hopefully! Norby too, as a natural hitter. We need contact hitters!
