The Polaroid Random Thoughts Baseball Thread

Puig is still batting .374 slugging .592 and has an OPS of 1.007

Yeah, he sucks Daft.

 

[Tron]

Yup. I definitely said he sucks.

 

[Archie]

I think the issue people have with him, as that he got SOOOO much publicity really fast, for just a perfectly timed hot streak to begin a career.

his # of games and AB's and how productive he were, seemed to cause a perfect divide amongst baseball fans about whether or not he should go to the all-star game or not ect.... and people that didn't care either way, just got sick of hearing/reading about it so much.


I'd like to start hearing more about Junior Lake

 

[Archie]

why was there no big debate about Hanley Ramirez going to the all-star game?

I think his stats were better in a shorter time span, plus he has proven to be all star worthy in some of his past years.

it comes down to PUIG being a shiny new thing that people got intoxicated on.

I'm sure he'll be great, but he ain't the next Joe Dimaggio

 

[Tron]

you gonna let Puig get up to the same amount of games as Harper's 2012 season to make that comparison?

Puig might end up with 7.5 WAR

not that i'm a fan of Puig

It's entirely possible he ends up there.

But Puig's BABIP is 100+ points higher than Harper's and that could be tough to maintain (to put it lightly).

 

[Cougar Bait]

Junior Lake looks pretty good to start, but I can tell you he won't be half the player.

Puig will be an all star for years to come.

 

[FairWarning]

Puig is so June, Junior Lake is where it's at

1st ballot HOF.

Oh, and good luck Yankees with Soriano. There are still 3 teams better than you, with or without Soriano.

 

[tullamore]

Wil Myers will have the better career than Puig or Lake

 

[Archie]

Henderson Alvarez looks very solid

 

[Saulty]

Freddie Freeman will have a better career than all of the above.

Yeah. I am pretty surprised more people arent talking about Ramirez. Hottest hitter in baseball since June. The dodgers are just stacked. What a 2-3-4 batting order.

Puig is hitting .370

Gonzalez is hitting .300 with 15 home runs and 64 rbis

Ramirez is hitting .387

 

[Cougar Bait]

Freddie Freeman will have a better career than all of the above.

Freeman is a 3/3 will be a SOLID player for years to come, I have no doubt about that. He will not be a better player than Puig though, injuries withstanding.

 

[Tron]

Hanley is on fire. It's good news for Dodger fans because he's been good for about 6 months over the course of the last 3 seasons.

Bout fuckin time.

 

[Saulty]

Puig will be out of majors in 6 years. Mark my words.

 

[Tron]

Archie, what's Puig's average in July?

His OPS?

How many bases has he nabbed? How many times was he thrown out in July?

How many times has he struck out in July? How does it compare to pre-July?

 

[Cougar Bait]

Maybe if he gets injured.

great question!!!!!

for July Puig is now hitting .288

OPS of .754

2 sbs 3 caught stealings

27 strikeouts in 80abs


he only had 20 SO's in 101abs for June

 

[Archie]

but those numbers don't tell the real story

his numerology, palm reading, horoscopic numbers are off the charts....
