GT 7/26 5 game win streak starting

[Donn Beach]

First basemen don't want a ball at their chest, it's more comfortable to stretch their glove out, and they don't want it high, that's dangerous

You aren't watching the games.

There is no way on earth that is where ANY 1B would want that ball.

Buy a TV.

might be, you brought up throwing to the chest

Might be?

How on earth do you think you can even make an assessment if you aren't seeing the actual throws?

Insane work.

JP Crawford is 3 for last 36. OPS has dropped about 060 points. Im done with him in the leadoff spot. He's entering D-Mo territory folks

Who should lead off in place of J.P. Crawford, whom FanGraphs projects with the highest projected on-base percentage for the Mariners the remainder of the season?

The Mariners are unlikely to make a signficiant lineup change based on a sample of 36 at-bats.

I am not making an assessment, I'm not disagreeing with you about his throws, I haven't seen them. I am saying I don't think he would be aiming for the chest

He has no walks in his last 31 AB's and just 6 in his last 129. He had 20 walks in April in 113 PA's and 16 in May in 117. Walking is how he built this really high OBP. He's not doing that anymore for some reason.

Seems FanGraphs will likely be wrong there.

Trade for Geno... put Julio at 1, Randy at 2 and JP 9th.

Ez.

And if you were watching the game, you wouldn't have even commented.

You won't find a 1B on earth who says, "spike a throw in the dirt 3 feet in front of me instead of hitting me in the chest."

Literal loony bin talk.

From the baked eye it seems he has a strong arm. Statcast has him at 83.x mph, the 44th percentile. For reference Geno is 83.4 and 43 percentile, so about the same as Geno. He’s 19 of 36 qualified 3B, so dead average when it comes to arm strength. Max is 17/42, so slightly above average

Velocity I suppose is one way to measure arm strength.

The other is consistency of throw and how easy you make it for your 1B to be caught.

IMO Williamson has a real problem with low, off-target throws.

The 1B must HATE all these throws to his chest:
