Offseason Plans

I think these shortstops all hitting the market at the same time will work against them and drive their deals down. Plus, if the Dodgers aren't bidding because they have Trea Turner for next year, and if the Yankees aren't bidding because of the luxury tax, where does that leave them?

And sadly we won't bother to try to take advantage of it because most of the fan base adores Mariner legend JP Crawford and his career .698 OPS.

Exactly...

Jp isn’t our best foot forward....I’m hoping Jerry is right when he says our look next year will be much different

Any of you fellers happen to know what the contact rate for batters at T mobile is compared to other parks?

Are you thinking there might be issues with the batter's eye or such?

Our K rate was higher at home. 25.8% vs. on the road 23.9%.

This is huge imo: BABIP was .284 on the road and only .261 at home. So that doesn't include HRs so has nothing to do with the fences.

[Jack Merridew]

It's hard to tell from BABIP what is going on though. Could be the grass, could be difficulty making good contact, or a combination of the two. I'm wondering if there are stats from which you can determine the kind of contact as well as rate. For instance, do hitters tend to foul off more pitches and make weaker contact? Maybe the angle of the ball's trajectory off the bat along with exit velocity would tell the story.
