Its hard to look at walks with guys that are called up. They want to show they can hit. Been like that since the beginning of time

Actually its perfectly acceptable to expect major league baseball players to use walks as an offensive weapon.

It's not hard to look at K's tho.  :nono:
id rather have a young guy up there hacking than watching, that maybe just me. Btw youre an idiot if you think we arent getting hits. Hell we have outhit the orioles this series, like i said earlier we just cant hit with risp right now.

I prefer to measure runs, instead of hit. I've been that way since the beginning of time.

Paulo is batting .333, has world class speed, and has an OPS of .777. He does suck at fielding, though.

you are currently watching Paulo regress to who he is as a player. If his BA is above .270 at the end of the year (assuming around 300-350 plate appearances) I will eat my hat.

If he regresses to that by the end of the year, that has no bearing on his current stats and does nothing to make your statement correct.

actually every statement I've made today has been proven more correct by every post that follows.

I never said we weren't getting hits   :confused: Plate discipline is what makes a career in the MLB. If you're striking out a lot, you better be averaging 30 bombs a year.
and i never mentioned k's if you dont see my point youre being argumentative for your own reasons. Minor league players who get called up want to swing the bat. Im not a Saber metrics guy like cf3 so i dont care about walks/k ratio war or any of that other crap. I was simply making a reason as to why they youngins dont walk much

A player who's career BA has dropped from .284 since June 1.

thank you. based on this, would you agree with me in saying "who he is as a player" is not even remotely estimable?

My guess mocat, is that he'll never hit above .300 for any real meaningful stretch of time, and will have chunks below .200 often enough that .270 in a season would be pretty damn optimistic IMO

I have a pretty good assessment of his ceiling.

yeah i guess his ceiling is a bit lower than best career batting average in the history of MLB, so we are in total agreement here

they do have a winning record grandpa. its not inconsistent to point out the team's problems but still assess where they are in the standings.

Yeah, Whit Merrifield, Drew Butera, and Paulo Orlando are this team's problems.

Getting overly worked up over professional sports is really really dumb.
