Why isn't he in lineup today against a RHP, and Rizzo out of line up

Jay .313 since break

Almora .318 since break

Jay's one run scored and one driven in have been a huge factor in the team's resurgence. 2 runs produced.

Schwarber has only produced ten in that time.
With a BA 63 points lower, and an OBP lower, he still is more productive.

You simply MUST come to grips with the fact that an empty batting average is not the most important thing. Schwarber's OPS since the break is over 150 points better than Jay. And 99 points better than Almora (whose OPS is, in fact, quite good in that time)

You are so in love with one certain player who you think has been a great plus, while he truly contributes very little. Meanwhile you are down on Schwarber who produces much more, even while clearly struggling.

There is simply no comparison between the potential of the two. One is a long time veteran that simply does not produce runs. The other, coming off a year of not playing, still has been somewhat productive.

You are the anti-sabermetric guy. Batting average with no runs is no big plus. EXACTLY as I predicted, Jay has the emptiest BA you can find. Yet you compliment him endlessly and dog all over Schwarber.

And I say all this acknowledging that Jay has actually done better than I expected.

I'm more of a what have you done lately.. like last 30 ABs.....

That's kind of the whole point.

That thinking is asinine. Sorry, but it's true.

Well first that's the opposite of what you look for in stats. The further you go back the more meaningful the results. Since Kyle came back up in early July I've been using July as a measure. That said, and you set yourself up for this, Schwarber in his last 33 PA:

.276/.364/.655 1.019 OPS .417 wOBA 157 wRC+

Your criteria, great results.

Check again..
He 8 for last 33 .242
5 for 28 .178 outside his 3 for 4 games, which kinda started this whole thing..lol

Not bad for him but again , the whole point of my post was towards people who keep saying he back..lol
Because..
1. I don't know what he back from, considering in regular season he been mediocre to bad his whole young career..

2. It said every time he has a good game or two and then after he goes back to struggling


But..
I will promise to lay off Schwarber from now on... [emoji16]

Can I still pick on Lackey though..lol

Lackey's stats recently are way better than season to date.

Won't that fly in the face of your way of evaluating?

I checked my numbers, they're right. Fangraphs has a neat split tool, I went back to 7/19 which was 33 PA (29 AB), using AB eliminates walks and compresses the sample even further.

Honestly talking about a 30 PA sample size is pointless. It's basically a week of games. Anything below 100 PAs is going to suffer from huge swings from good/bad games. That's why i mentioned his numbers since june.

I'm aware of that. I'm using because chibear55 said that's what he used. I had been using July since it encapsulated the time since he came back up.

If not Schwarber it'll be someone else, can't stop yourself.

Then plug in all the big boys on the bench to pinch hit and hit bombs [emoji16][emoji16]

What a crazy fucking game. Mediocre pitchers and neither one has yielded a run. The baseball gods are fucking with us.
