Batting Title Tracker: Castro Currently in 3rd

[Captain Obvious]

You do know he said "better average hitter", as in batting average, right? Castro's like .006 points higher now.

But overall, of course Pujols is better.

Way to read the spoiler.

Way to read the spoiler.

You said it's like saying Pujols is a better a average hitter.

And since Castro has the higher average, I determined that to be sarcasm. then he said Castro was better (still talking about average only right?), like you said, but then said he was kidding.

But Castro has the higher average.

I think waldo's stupid posts earlier are making me more stupid, sorry.

I was agreeing with him when I said of course Pujols is better overall.

 

[waldo7239117]

In Waldo's defense, he wasn't comparing the Cubs to the Rox. He was saying that if Castro is playing in Coors he has a higher average. Which he would, although it wouldn't be that significant. Where Waldo is being a dumbfuck, is that he thinks Wrigley is a pitchers park and there are stats to prove him wrong. Yet he is still saying well I think... which is just stupid.

I didn't exactly say it was not a true hitter parks. But, in some ways I did. I just contradict myself, oh well...lol. I'm just saying the field is smaller and the gaps are smaller and players get robbed of hits because of that reason.

Your welcome, lol.

Pitching > Hitting.



Except that it's not an opinion. It's a fact that Wrigley is a hitter's park. We're the 5th most hitters park this year.

As you can see, HR is exactly neutral. Meaning that it doesn't help out HR hitters at all. The wind and small park cancel each other out. If Castro played there, he probably would have a higher BA. But it wouldn't be that big of a difference. MAYBE 5 hits. Maybe.

no, just better hitters in the AL

Your welcome, lol.

I'll just have my 7 year old brother slap next time I get confused. Then I can get my head on straight again and he can insult your posts some more.

Anyway, I think Colorado has a day off.

No they don't, there playing. Do you know it's Friday? Because teams never have schedule off days on Friday. They only have off days because of postponement.

I don't know. I scrolled down the box scores and they weren't listed. Probably because they hadn't started yet, lol. But it was just a few minutes ago.

 

[Captain Obvious]

Not really. I mean, yeah, they do, but it's because of the DH. They only have .004 better OBP and less than .1 runs/game. If the NL had the DH or the AL had the pitcher hit, I am sure that the NL would be better. It's not really a fair comparison.

 

[Jntg4]

NL = Better Pitchers
AL = Better Batters

 

[waldo7239117]

NL = Better Pitchers
AL = Better Batters

Yeah that works but I think both leagues are close to each other in those categories.

Wrigley is not a hitters park, if you not a home run hitter like Castro. It's small and a ball in the air, will be caught. Unlike Corros where the gaps are big and the field is bigger. That's my point.

Wrigley is the fifth most hitters park (that's bad grammar) in baseball.

2010 MLB Park Factors - Runs - Major League Baseball - ESPN

Though to be fair just about everywhere in comparison to Coor's and Yankee stadium is a pitchers park.

Hmm thats an interesting concept. Just going strictly off of Castro and strictly using only his home stats:

He has 71 hits at home, so in a neutral park would put him at 66.54 hits, move him to Coors and that number jumps up to 82.51 hits. Round down to 82 hits add that to his 51 hits on the road and he sits at 133. 133 divided by his AB's would put him at a .345 BA.

So theoretically he would be leading if he played for the Rox.

Ha you already posted it, and used the same poor english to word it.

Maybe its not poor english, but 5th most hitters park sounds very weird.

 

[waldo7239117]

It could say, we are rated the 5th in hitters ball park. I think this sounds better.

That was Waldo's Grammar Lessons, Episode 1.

But it should probably be the "5th best hitters park", "5th in hitters ball park" just isn't right verbally or grammatically IMO, but its close so I'll leave it alone.

Castro is so fun to watch. I'm so glad to see a young phenom like this on a day to day basis.

 

[Jntg4]

Who will next year's Castro be?

My guess is... Castro. Most of our prospects need another year at least.

Most teams don't ever get a Castro...we should be very happy to have this at our disposal.
