totally.  because 25 games in is a small sample.  Some of us will keep singing that song till our dying day.  

Oh I don't doubt yours or IP's knowledge regarding advanced metrics. I have a base level understanding of them (BABIP, FIP, xFIP, ERA+, OPS+, etc...)

I'm just seeing such absurd bad luck with this team right now, with basically every pitcher. I understand things "even out", but guys also have bad years due to bad luck. 

And this is the Angels, so...

Dustin May came off the mound in the first for the dogs.  Looks like he was having pain in his arm.  As much as I hate the dogs, it was almost sickening to see a good young player come off that way.  

Tried to find the gif for kingpin, when bill murray is trying not to laugh when when munson bowls a split, but I cant find it

The Yankees have 4 batters in their lineup hitting under .190 

Odor is batting cleanup. His BA is .179 

 

[m0nkey]

They had 3 hits today in a game they won 2-0 and took 2 hours and 14 minutes.

[Lou]

Reds/Cubs tied 12-12 in the 9th.

They have combined for 10 HRs

dude is getting unlucky as hell.  advanced metrics look solid.  

Yep, hitting profile is in line with his career....  But it really is fun seeing a different fan base than ours overreact

So he's not your family?

That's why I said "family friend."  His family lived directly across the street from my mother for years, and his grandparents still do.

That's actually pretty cool.

But he plays for the Dodgers. So...I mean

Well, like I've said a few times you have to start questioning if its bad luck or bad defensive alignments the longer it goes on.   I've been harping about defensive issues for two years so, I am reluctant to just say its more of the same but....seeing a lot of the same.  Also, AP's defense has completely eroded.

But the K rates, GB rates, and a lot of the pitcher specific data really does paint a good picture for us long-term.

I also have a good friend named Thomas Beatty (2 "Ts" instead of 1) who's a big Dodgers fan--and Matt Beaty's middle name is Thomas...

 

[tdawg87]

It makes me wonder a bit about Adell. 

Obviously he was fucking up out there, but could whatever is going on have had a significantly negative impact on him? It was odd just how awful he was out there in RF...

My brother and I used to call a chick we knew Bates.

Her face was scary.

Ok now I'm convinced the illuminati runs everything and JFK was shot by a time traveling reptile.
