Sorry Mike

Dan Szymborski

9:25

The first chart in that link is relevant.

9:26

Don't forget about Griffey, guys (I agree it's Bonds there...but still)

Brendan Gawlowski

9:26

Or Rodriguez

Fire Ken Tremendous

9:26

Ryan Braun = William the Conqueror!

Dave

9:26

How much more Yarbrough do we think we’re seeing tonight?

Brendan Gawlowski

9:26

Dave is on the pulse

Mike

9:26

Pollock so out of place on this team because he doesnt have the chase discipline. Makes him frustrating to watch

deathstar Graterol

9:27

Pollock's regular season was quite good, not just decent

Dan Szymborski

9:27

WE DONT NEED A QUICK WORD FROM TMOBILE

Dodger Fan

9:27

The Dodgers have hit more home runs at this park than the Rangers have...

Brendan Gawlowski

9:27

You know you have a good team when you can understandably lose A.J. Pollock in the shuffle

Mick

9:27

Was the relevant point that John McGraw was once the best player in baseball?

Guest

9:27

Seems like Rays are only super aggressive with the hook when they have the lead

Dan Szymborski

9:27

It has the projected WAR leader for each season, which encompasses a variety of previous seasons!@

Brendan Gawlowski

9:28

They're definitely more aggressive in those situations. But they need to start taking chances.

Mike

9:28

Pollocks regular season was good just because he hit a bunch of dingers, even then he had an obvious hole flailing at the low away breaker

Brendan Gawlowski

9:28

To be fair to him, many people do

5 Run Homer

9:28

That chart is a fun read

Brendan Gawlowski

9:28

Yes, don't let that link get lost in the shuffle

Mike

9:29

And in the postseason he's just been eaten up in that hole and lacks the discipline to take it. He's got like a 3.5% walkrate and the rest of the team like 15% this postseason

Brendan Gawlowski

9:29

Anybody can have a shitty 30 PA's

Dan Szymborski

9:30

Fire Ken Tremendous

9:30

I read that shitty PA comment as an insult against Pennsylvania initially

Guest

9:30

That list is a who's who of inner circle Hall of Famers

Mick

9:30

Article is a fun read too, and I agree that we need to stop hitting players with proverbial buses

Guest

9:31

Didn't realize Wade Boggs was the best player in baseball for an extended period

Dan Szymborski

9:31

We secretly despise public transportation

Fire Ken Tremendous

9:31

According to that chart the title went from Boggs to Bonds. Only a two letter change was necessary!

5 Run Homer

9:31

Pretty much THE list

Mike

9:31

I think that chart is pretty accurate

That's fair, that's fair. I think the postseason tests players ability to adapt as teams pound their scouting reports harder than usual. It's a test many Dodgers failed in previous postseasons. See Bellinger/Seager and the low inside curveball in 17 vs the Astros

Brendan Gawlowski

9:32

My favorite Boggs fact is that he hit .335/.437/.460 with 89 walks and 47 K's as a 23 year old in Triple-A... and Boston never called him up that year.

Kevin Cash

9:32

What’s the fastest a guy has pitched throwing sidearm/submarine like Thompson? Or what’s the upper limit velocity at that arm angle?

Brendan Gawlowski

9:33

Filing this away for a research project/article idea

Mike

9:33

1970s boston and the service time manipulation they didn't even know they were doing

Brendan Gawlowski

9:33

He spent two full years in Pawtucket!

Dan Szymborski

9:33

Depends how high an arm slot we're talking.

Guest

9:33

Rays will have somebody throwing 101 fully underhand by 2022

deathstar Graterol

9:33

I want to know if the deception effect of a weird arm angle can be quantified
