Stray thought: There isn't much between 2nd tier of 70s 3B (Nettles, Bando, Evans, Bell, Cey). All ranked b/w 13th and 22nd for me. I wonder if this is why none are HOF. Hard to be definitive that Nettles was better than Evans, etc. And no one (except me) seems to want all in!
Ranger Suárez has been absolutely dominant to start the year. Here, I explore his new-look approach, headlined by elite command outside the strike zone.

Not that any of us actually needed more evidence that Ted Williams was about a billion years ahead of his time, but this 1986 conversation between him, Mattingly, and Boggs with @pgammo is one I hadn't seen before, and it is tremendous --> vault.si.com/vault/1986/04/…
2000s! 1) 3 years played in league, 5 years total required 2) Player can only appear in one league 3) Player is judged on whole decade, not just time in league 4) Position fudging will happen 5) No NL DH (for now) Some tough calls, esp. on whether players were AL or NL!

I want to be clear. I want this for 2 reasons. 1) this episode is awesome 2) I am a Mattingly fan it and willing to make mistakes to see him get in (which he does deserve in my system anyway).
A position I can get behind!
Great thread. It's not really the elite of the elite that are nastier than ever, it's the backend starters and low leverage relievers that are bringing that floor up. Expansion is long overdue.

@bballhist @VinLospinuso91 I get the logic. But he probably reaches MLB quality of play earlier without missing 3 years to the military (aka by improving in the minors instead). Also, what if 55 was just, not a great season? Like, not an indication of a broader unreadiness. My thinking at least.
@VinLospinuso91 @bballhist I love Boyer too. Go for it! Most people also aren't aware he served with the Military for Korea. Delayed his start, but since it doesn't show up on bbref on his main page it's oft forgotten. We give stat leniency for WW2 servicemen so idk why Boyer shouldn't be given the same.
@bballhist I guarantee you @VinLospinuso91 wants them all in haha. & yea well when you're in the same league as Schmidt and Brett...and an aging Brooks and Santo...you kinda take a backseat lol
@_BirdsOnTheBat @bballhist I know he served in Korea, and I always give stat leniency for any kind of military involvement. In case you are curious, Boyer occupies in one of the upper tier of wants. Around the second or very high in the third.
@_BirdsOnTheBat @bballhist That’s mostly because tier two is made up of my most wants and tier one is made up of my favorite player of all time.
They're slow.
The Yankees' poor BABIP goes back to last year (.266, the second worst of any team this century) and looks like it's continuing this year. Is it bad luck or something else? x.com/rionrion55/sta…
Ranger Suárez has been absolutely dominant to start the year. Here, I explore his new-look approach, headlined by elite command outside the strike zone.
Ranger Suárez Is Thinking Outside the (Literal) Box With His New Approach blogs.fangraphs.com/ranger-suarez-…
Buddy Bell maning the Hot Corner, 1983’.
16-4 is a .800 winning percentage. Suppose these trends persist, .800 when they homer, .300 when they don't (these are likely to regress though - first number will go down and second will go up). That means turning a homerless game into a homerful game is worth half a win.
Yankees record when they hit exactly... 0 HR: 3-7 (.300) 1 HR: 8-2 (.800) (lol) 2 HR: 3-1 (.750) 3 HR: 4-1 (.800) 4 HR: 1-0 (1.000) They are 16-4 when they hit at least one HR. It is good to go yard!
Just putting this out there because I feel like it's a myth that gets repeated endlessly HR distances are not just "based on exit velo & launch angle." Yes, they include wind, if wind moves the trajectory of the ball. You can read more about it here. technology.mlblogs.com/a-lidar-valida…
Wow I just saw the news on Mike Trout. Just unbelievable. He hasn’t played more than 140 games in a season since he was 24. He’s 32 now and has only played in 707 Games since then… the thing that really sucks with him is that even in that stretch, he’s been great. We as fans…
@bballhist Ok that’s fair. Listen, McCann was no slouch. Him and piazza were far and away the best all around catcher’s of the decade. Then u have Martin who was barely above league average and then Kendall and especially Molina who were awful offensively in the Aughts’.
@bballhist I understand what you’re saying, but I’m just going by what you listed. You wrote that you’re judging the whole decade, not just a year or 2.
100%. A great base stealer is extremely valuable in front of hitters with low SLG because one base means a LOT in that situation. In front of players with high SLG and OBP SB attempt is not worth the risk. 1/1
@Pinstripessuit This is a point that @MyBaseballPage1 put on my radar. Because teams now bat their best hitter second, a guy whose productivity depends in large part on stolen bases should not hit first.
Going through photos for my father’s services and came across this gem. STARTING LINEUP TALKING BASEBALL!!!
Huh, would you look at that? Ted Williams said “I tried to hit every ball I ever hit in the air.”
