Sunday GT: Let's end these streaks. We shall fight Sandy on the bleachers

[D-train]

Julio: Exciting rookie, but still a rookie.

Now hitting 71 points higher than JK who is a 2nd year player 2.5 years older than him.

Wtf were you doing Frazier

Pickoffs should be counted as caught stealing so speedsters aren't given extra credit on ther SB/CS counts.

They are.

The box score I'm looking at for this game shows a CS for Frazier but not for Julio.

Jarred Kelenic is one-and-a-half years older than Julio Rodriguez:

Who cares how old they are. They're young. One is clearly better than the other.

I don't understand why left, left, right would be a BAD thing.

Aren't 80% of the pitchers right handed? So a left-left start would seem to be optimal wouldn't it?

That’s a good point. I’m not sure, maybe you’d be a more optimal team to have an LH “opener” start against lol. Is that still a thing?

[D-train]

Wouldn't the natural top 3 in the order be, Frazier, JP (or flip flop) and then France....?

What is the logic of a guy like France being #2 if there's nobody scary behind to drive them in?

Scott is an idiot.

Even Frazier has been a bust so far hitting .235 with an OBP barely over .300. ZERO power.

Yeah, I dont think they are counted as CS, and you can't sort for picked offs on fangraphs to see how many they had either. Its like a forgotten component even though base stealers are picked off at a much higher rate than Ty Frances are.

Was Julio picked off diving back to first or was there a throw to first and he got caught at second. Maybe that's the difference. I though all instances of guys getting thrown out without batted balls were CSs though.
