My wife, who is currently also working at home, doesn't really appreciate it

Wade Boggs had a five-year stretch where his OBP was .454. He was truly something.

I pace when I'm working on stories and my fiance HATES it

They were supposed to originally be the Tampa Bay Sting Rays, but didn’t want to pay the Maui Sting Rays $35k for the naming rights, and went with the Devil Rays instead

Is there a wY to see career WAR on fangraphs ?
Ben Clemens
9:06
There sure is. Do you want a leaderboard or just for an individual player?

Arozarena ties it with a homer to center. 1-1 now in the bottom of four

The postseason's most-fun player.

List /leaderboard please

Arozarena continues his ascent to greatest baseball player in history

pacing is infinitely more stressful/annoying for a third party observer

Up on the dropdown bars at hte top, under "Leaders", there's an option for career under both pitching and hitting
Here, for example, are the career leaders in batting:

oh its awful. I've gained the sense to leave the room
Ben Clemens

If you'd prefer to go over a specific set of years, there's that option as well
Bill
9:08
So I see it for leaders...but not all ?
Ben Clemens
9:08
Ah, they're all available
What I'd do is select the years you want, let's say 1969-1989
9:09
Submit that part under 'multiple seasons'
and then if you want to look at them all at once, there's a little 'export data' button that will turn it into a spreadsheet
Meanwhile.... Randy
Is the best

I was just gonna ask how real Arozarena's power boost was. I guess its pretty real!
Ben Clemens
9:09
He has bulked up noticeably, and he already had more raw power than his numbers showed in the minors
9:10
He's a bat speed god, basically?
Derek

Next up for Trout to pass in fWAR is Bill Dahlen, who played for teams named the Orphans, Doves, and Superbas

Power boost from chicken, rice and push-ups during quarantine

The technical term for what Arozarena is doing this offseason is "seeing the ball well."
Sam
9:11
Seems like he just destroys pitches in the upper half, fun stuff!
Josh

ben, how good does it feel to write about a player in a positive manner, and then to watch them deliver?
Ben Clemens
9:11
It's not the worst
On the other hand, remember when I wrote about Miguel Castro? Me neither until just now!
He did not actually deliver :(

Whichever team gets more IP out of its SPs will win the series. What say you all?
AvatarDavid Laurila

This seems like it should be true, although I don't know what recent postseason history suggests should happen.
Sad Yankees Fan

Glad Randy isn't just a Yankees problem. What a postseason.

28 with no limit on the number of pitchers
