He's definitely an all offense guy. .362 wOBA, 125 wRC+, but only a 2.2 fWAR

It took the franchise literally 50 years to have a 40 home run season, its legitimately astounding

I'd be legitimately happy if Soler is one day known as "Mr. Royal"

Saw this tibdit on Reddit:
Bruce Bochy has managed the Padres and the Giants from 1995-2019. His regular season record over that time is 1995-2019

Re: General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
Big fan of the LH 12-6 curveball...Fried's also the ultra rare pitcher I might like more post-TJ than before it. He seems like a guy who got hurt, responded correctly by taking his strength and conditioning to another level, and might still be getting better. I'm rooting hard for him to become LH AJ Burnett or whatever but without any success for the Braves as a franchise

Re: General Baseball Chit-Chat Thread
Wow, just learned that Yelich’s out for the season. A team with a -27 run differential shouldn’t even be above .500, let alone in contention. Take away 7.1 WAR player, and they’re pretty much sunk.
I guess that essentially takes on one contender in our quest for an extra game.

Dodgers clinch 7th straight NL West title. Remember when we thought we were on their level long-term?

Astros are the team to be jealous of.

I'm old enough to remember when we collectively agreed that playoff results were a crapshoot and sustained success is what matters.

Heading into this season the Cubs had won 8 more games, one more World Series, and made the same number of LCS over the last 4 years.

why stop there? Surely you can slice it down a little further to squeeze more of an advantage out for the Cubs

The Cubs having a relatively poor season this year and being poorly run more recently than the Dodgers doesn't change the fact they were a half step better over a very long time horizon. Defining 'long term' in a conversation with you is likely to be the 8th circle of hell but 4 consecutive years qualifies to me given that I've long thought that any roster planning beyond 2-3 years is basically absurd.

You can spin this however you want, but if you get to set the starting point *and* still have to cut out some of the data, you know you’re stretching
