I tell it like I see it. I study a lot and collect a lot of information and try to make the best point possible. I use stats A LOT, stats don't always tell the whole story however. To James point, that's just the way I took his point. When he used the bolded letters to emphasise. My apologies if that wasn't his intent. You can use all of the stats in the world, but they're worthless if you misinterpret what they mean. BABIP is wrongly represented as a catch-all "luck" stat. It's not. Luck is only part of the equation. Many skill-related factors go into hitter BABIP: runner speed, launch angle, exit velocity, ability to hit to all fields. Devers' BABIP has greatly increased from last year because his quality of contact has greatly improved. This is what everybody is trying to tell you. We're seeing improvement, not luck. I'm seeing improvement too fyi. Wasn't arguing that. Just arguing that there's probably "some" regression coming and everyone misinterpreted it the wrong way again.

Got to score more runs, this lineup turns into a pumpkin when JDM is not in the lineup.

Hopefully Sanchez gets wild here like earlier in the game.

Of course a lot people just don't want to hear the obvious negative that might happen. See Steve Pearce vs Cron thread.

Team rankings with this bullpen says this bullpen is fine. Nothing to see here.

Workman’s lack of control and babip luck come back to bite them right now.

Is Workman being left in because no one’s warmed up? Because he’s about to blow this lead.

Really happy for Rick that he has been pitching better lately. He is a important part of the rotation.

It seems like someone would love for us to trade Devers. Really down on him when he's making errors and not hitting for power and calling him lucky when he's doing real good. You can try to hide it, but it's so obvious to everyone here.

You can try to hide it, but it's so obvious to everyone here. Nope, just a position switch and a slight adjustment to his swing to increase launch angle, which may or may not be happening at the very moment. Devers is a fixture here for years. You're reading it wrong.
