This is not fair. Mocat had a Father Son evening planned.

Oh man Dads love movies like that!

great statting, mocat.


hosmer swings at so many bad pitches.  they all do, sorta (except gordon), but it seems worse with hosmer, because if a pitcher is stupid enough to throw him a strike he often hits it pretty well.

its awful sys. i watched his debut at the k. he walked twice in his very first big league game. what happened.

Once the game was canceled I looked through my library of 150+ films and did not find one that was a slam dunk for my dad but then I remembered lone survivor just came out. Absolute jackpot.

cain and esky have picked up a lot of the slack in AVG and OBP. no idea aoki's numbers against our right fielders last year but my guess is a little better? definitely gonna be better in runs scored.

2013

RF .258/.304/.392, 12 HR, 71 RBI, 70 runs scored

2014

Aoki .256/.318/.311, 0 HR, 36 RBI, 77 runs scored

tough to compare 2013 RF production vs Aoki. He is asked to get on base & score, not hit home runs. He has a slightly better OBP and projected runs scored than the crew at RF last year. 

I'm going to compare production from the #1 spot in the lineup from '13 to '14, as that is a better comparo.

2013 .246/.309/.381, 16 HR, 79 RBI, 95 runs scored

2014 .251/.313/.300, 0 HR, 39 RBI, 85 runs scored

isnt a lot of that gordon tho?

[mocat]

yes, most of it was alex gordon, i just wanted to compare the #1 spot from last year to this year.

This is who started games in the #1 spot last year:

Gordon 119
Lough 16
Getz 9
Cain 8
Escobar 5
Dyson 3
Carroll (omg) 2

How was the movie?? I read the book and could not put that sucker down........I know the movie will suck though compared to the book.  Debating if I should ever watch the movie so I don't have a big let down.  That happened with Clear and Present Danger.  The book was freakin awesome, then I watched the movie and was totally pissed...
