re: Batting is down so far this year in MLB..

[quote]Simply putting the ball in play, even when it's not a hit, has some value. [/quote]
Absolutely agree, contact has value. Sure it can lead to double plays but for the most part putting a ball in play at leaves give you a chance for something to happen where a strikeout only does if a passe...

The point of that part of my post was just to say that it is a more complete statistic than batting average. [/quote]
Many of the deep dive Sabergeeks would tell you that WRC+ is the best measure of offensive efficiency would you agree?
Some would say WAR is the best measure of a play...

[quote]I think there has been an overreaction to batting average being overvalued in the past.[/quote]
I think the degree to which batting average has been devalued today is stunning considering how sacred it was not that very long ago.
It's akin to basketball going away from the mid-range jum...

Considering the stranglehold Louisville Slugger had in the industry it is remarkable. Almost akin to a Baton Rouge soft drink company upstaging Coke. I know, not quite, but.........

Launch angle is the rage now, batting average don't mean crap to the sabermetric geeks of this time. Kyle Schwarber has been hitting .210 the last 4 years but it's o.k. cause he hits 40 homers. He's basically Dave Kingman, including the ham-handed defense in left - but Kingman was treated like the...
re: Tennessee regional just said new attendance record
Posted by Tiger Ugly on 6/8/24 at 1:21 pm
There is a disconnect here in regard an understanding in the interest/passion for college baseball overall. What we have here is not the norm and not even close.
And there's nothing wrong with that at all, I think the passion here is great. But the norm nationally is far more pre-Skip LSU most...

re: For those who Follow the MLB, is Skenes a Top 5 pitcher in the league already?
Posted by Tiger Ugly on 6/6/24 at 12:55 pm
Time will reveal that - I wouldn't say you could say that just yet with this small of a samples size and teams adjusting as is always the case.
But the sheer stuff gives him that opportunity. ...

[quote] think in general we mostly watch our favorite team, which I hope is LSU. [/quote]
I think this is the case for the vast majority when it comes to watching baseball at the college and also the MLB level.
Folks watch their favorite team but not much else. I like baseball but I like wa...

[quote]You can bet they will make sure he stays healthy. He is the future of that organization.[/quote]
Absolutely, he'll probably be capped at somewhere in the 150 to 155 inning mark this year, which if you include his minor league innings probably gets him somewhere to late August or early Sept...

re: One play I didn't see discussed here was the base hit in the 9th to tie the game.
Posted by Tiger Ugly on 6/5/24 at 6:36 am
The thing here for me is it was a great pitch, jammed him in on the hands, classic cheap aluminum bat hit. If it's a wood bat that breaks the bat and it's almost certainly an out. ...

I'm 58 and 6-2-1/2". If you give me about two months to get in shape and work with my team, I think I can give you 6 point and 6 boards a game. ...
