2019 MLB Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Baseball • Page 1073

I think the pitching will settle a little bit, but having the Phillies #4 on the MLB season-long power rankings is pretty funny.

 

Pretty sure the ones that the MLB site does are as much a reflection of which flagship teams MLB wants to promote at this point in the season than any kind of real performance.

 

Yeah Phillies at #4 is absurd lol

 

with the reds being in town it seems like la writers are teeing off on how puig is an asshole. SHOCKING.

 

Isn't he an asshole though?

 

I've been underwhelmd with the Phillies during the last week or so. It really irkes the fuck out of me they struggled to take 2 out of 3 from the fucking Marlins.

 

he is but it has already been established so like why bring it up again lol

 

Power Rankings are lame at any point, but especially this early

 

I see nothing wrong with the ranking

 

Rockies are really going through it offensively

 

I'd kill to take 2 out of 3 from a bad team

 

Chris Davis owns Boston

 

Robertson put on 10 day DL

 

Yankees Injury Update: Luis Severino, Miguel Andujar, and more

This is just depressing at this point.

Keen-eyed Baseball-Reference users have written us asking about an update made to the statistics of Hall of Fame pitcher Old Hoss Radbourn. In the past, we had displayed Radbourn with 59 wins in his 1884 season with Providence. However, in a recent update, Radbourn has been bumped up to 60 wins.

Before we delve into what the correct number is, let's zoom out a bit, first. It will probably surprise most baseball fans to discover that there was no league-mandated rule in place for assigning wins and losses before 1950. Wins were awarded, but they were entirely up to the discretion of the official scorer. Compounding this issue is the fact that while the leagues tracked pitcher wins for much of the Deadball Era, they made many errors, and even briefly stopped officially counting pitcher wins and losses for a few years in the 1910s as ERA was first gaining popularity. A SABR member named Frank Williams meticulously corrected the record, and his research formed the basis for the accepted totals you see today.

 

Watch Chris Davis end up with a >850 OPS this year just because baseball is weird

 

Judge off to a great defensive start with 5 runs saved already

 

Shoulders are shitty, Bird rehabbed his labrum and eventually had to do the surgery anyways and missed a year. Idk much about this stuff but in a sport with such repetitive violent motions, it has to be hard to avoid for Andujar.

I haven't been able to throw a baseball as hard as I can for years, I'm sure I have something that would need addressing but as long as it doesn't affect gym I don't care lol

 

watch Chris Davis hit .247

the internet would melt

 

As corny as MLB Network can be, some of the breakdowns on MLB Tonight are intriguing at the very least. Glad it's a part of the YouTube TV package.

 

Is that Jamie Foxx commentating the Phillie/Met game on ESPN??

 

I love that Doug Glanville has such a successful post playing career. I love him.

 

Holy shit Ryan Howard is boring to listen to
