Proof that SS is an idiot

And btw back to only 5 teams of 15 making it in each league.

So all the less chance that going for it with a roster that is still 50% shit will get you in.

I want to win 118 games in the regular season and at least 11-12 in the post season depending on the format... I want people to fear the M's coming into town, some fucking respect...

Jarred Kelenic's expected batting average (.250) is 93 points higher than his current batting average (.157).

That differential is the largest in the Majors this season (min. 50 PA).

In other words, Kelenic has been the most unlucky player in the Majors so far in his career.

Is that based on the contact he makes and his BABIP or on preseason projections?

They project BA based on on exit velo and launch angle and assume an divergence from that BA is due to luck.

It's a function of his batted balls

Do they account for the shift in any way? If not, it's a meaningless stat imo.

Doesn't matter how hard Kelenic can hit it through the hole if the other team's going to have a shift stationed there every time.

Kelenic has had at least 4 or 5 hits taken away in left field alone via diving, sliding or shoestring catches... he's getting sorta fucked. He's also hit a ton of hard liners to right center that have been robbed. He's had a rough go in the luck dept.

Mariner curse? or karma?

Making the playoffs isn't good enough. Personally i don't get excited at the prospect of scraping in as the 7th best team and taking an early exit because you don't stand a chance against the quality organizations. You need ace pitchers in the post-season and this team doesn't have any, so by all means they should handle the guys that may become aces in such a way as to set them up for the most success farther down the line.

There have been hundreds of Aces in baseball history. If Gilbert becomes one, he will be the first Ace that was handled like a sickly little girl during his first few starts.

I'm sure the Yankees handled Roger Clemens like that!
