Remember When?

[DewsSox79]

Umm no? A team of 200/380 players would pretty much be the best offense in the league. That's getting on base a ton. They don't have to rely on walking in runs, HBP runs, or the occasional HR. They can still get hits besides homeruns. That team would absolutely rake.

whoops i forgot to add an occasional hit since they will get an occasional hit with those lovely averages. and no they wouldnt rake. stop trying to sound smarter than you are, it is getting old.

That team would pretty much have the highest OBP in the history of baseball. They would score a shit load of runs. There is a study somewhere(I'm looking for it). Teams that win the world series hit a homerun in a lot of the games they win. It's something like that. I don't see how you can say that that team would suck. They would be amazing.

im not stating specifically players loaded 1-9 all have the power of an adam dunn esque player. im talking specifically 200 380.

the game of baseball also needs to have hits, not just homeruns and walks..just an fyi

 

[AE23]

you guys remember Hee-Seop Choi at first base? When he crashed with Kerry Wood?

 

[AddisonStation]

Remember when Paul Bako hit a big 2B in July of '03. For some reason that play is vivid in my memory. Don't remember the situation at all but I remember it being a big hit hahaha... Wow...

 

[AE23]

you guys remember Bill Mueller, and Mark Bellhorn? didnt they go on to win WS with Boston?

Just an FYI, if you have a line up 1-9 of guys that OBP .380 and SLG .380, you would score 5.178 R/G. Or 839 R/yr. Which would have been good for 2nd best offense in baseball last year. And 4th in 2009. That's basically with no slugging at all. That's a pretty damn good offense.

So no, you could have a team with 200/380 players and it would be one of the best offenses in baseball. Especially with pitchers taking over nowadays.

 

[DewsSox79]

goes both ways. how many teams made the playoffs without being in the top 10 of BA? 2.

one of which had an obp of 321 which would lead one to believe the team was controlled by pitching.

texas was number 1 in BA and 6 in OBP in the majors.

By looking at ALL the stats, unlike some people here who take one specific stat and run with it to back up their claim, you can see that BA does play a role for a teams success.

your example is irrelevant, because as I have said it can go both ways.

but to say that a team would "rake" with a 380 obp with a 200 BA is just a reach especially when I never specifically stated what type of players we are talking about in the lineup.

Remember when Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire were the best thing to happen to baseball in forever?

then talk about it in a different thread, dip. That's not what this thread's here for. I'm pretty sure you all have your own thread now.

Remember when Mickey Morandini and Geoff Blauser made up our middle infield? lulz.

2 is more than none. Do you know how many teams that have led the league in OBP have missed the playoffs in the last decade? 0.

BA really doesn't have that effect. Out of the top 10 BA teams last year, 4 made the playoffs... not 6. 4 were in the top 10. 4 weren't. Not sure where you got your information from....

The top 10 BA teams were Rangers, Royals, Twins, Reds, Tigers, Red Sox, White Sox, Yankees, Cardinals, and Rockies.

Bolded teams made the playoffs, obviously.

A team would rake with a 380 obp and 200 ba. 5.178 runs/game.

I don't really need to know what type of players we are talking about, I just went with OBP = SLG. That's lowballing it.

I think what you are finding is that BA and OBP have a correlation, which they do, because of how teams are put together. However, that does not mean that you can't have a 200/380 line up and that it wouldn't smash. a team OBP of 380 is pretty freakin' beast.
