GT 7/26 5 game win streak starting

[Seattle or Bust]

okay, if that's the chest...

Cute.





Others don't think he's that good.

[DavidGee24]

Mariners win! We're HEROES!!!

So of course when I don't go to the game they win. Definitely not going tomorrow.

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

He needs a day off JP was near .300 ( .296 .411 .413 .824 ) back in mid-June.Come on back. If someone was getting on in front of Julio we win yesterday's game in 9.

We can never have nice things.

go to the 5.5 minute mark, Trout ground out, is that the sort of throw you're questioning?

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.

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.

Semantics, but it’s the way to measure how strong an arm is. Not sure if they have any data on accuracy for throws though. Either way, his arm isn’t special in terms of strength. Not sure how it holds up for accuracy

The one thing that’s been nice is the team has kinda taken turns getting hot. Polo, Cal, JP and Moore in April. Mostly Cal in May, but Julio and JP were ok. Cal, Solano, canzone and Garver in June. Randy, polo, Julio and Canzone in July.

and that's the way its done, its not about all nine of them, its about some of them taking turns putting the team on their shoulders at a time. In that sense I don't think you move guys up and down in the lineup so much as waiting turns

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?

https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?t ... =dashboard

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

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.

Fewer MLB managers and front offices are falling for the hot bat/cold bat fallacy when a wealth of historical data is available.

He's not doing that anymore for some reason

Modern analytics comes up with reasons. We use some splits, they use the statcast info and whatever. They are taking into account all his at bats, his swings, the parks, pitchers he's faced, launch angles, bat speed. They crunch it all together and predict he's not in a particularly alarming slump.

Yet JP has been no stranger to moving from 9th to leadoff and back in the lineup.

He played 23 games in the beginning of the year in the 9th spot b/c he was horrible to start the year. He moved to the 1 spot when he picked it up.

In '23, same thing.

So apparently 2x managers fell for the "hot bat/cold bat fallacy" or whatever the fuck that means. It could just be, "we don't want a guy who is currently hitting like shit batting leadoff." Does that compute R2D2?
