After ALL of this grossness,Stanton still has a .771 OPS with a .247 BABIP. 

 

but its still tied.

 

 

So what really is the explanation for the lack of runs scored? It's a bit mind numbing considering how many hits we do get.

 

Also having 6 players with averages over .300 leads credence that there should be higher scores.  Or you would think.......

 

 

Maybe Stanton should go back to playing football

everytime he strikes out, I feel bad inside because I got so much unfair hate in the past.

 

No.  It was justified in the past.  He was in the running for the MVP two years ago before getting hit in the face. He was having good a good season last year before he broke his wrist.  Being bad is new this season.  He will eventually come out of it.

This is kinda my point. It's perplexing

 

 

you need contact hitters. dietrich, yelich, ichiro, prado. you also need a bridge. a bopper. and that's what we are missing. ozuna is not a 30 homer guy.

 

 

or glasses. or move closer to the plate. or not mope after a strikeout. or smile more. or call a team meeting apologizing for not bringing any fire, a call back to april 2015.

 

Stanton is our new Jacob Turner.

And then the people calling for his demotion will act like they never doubted him

 

 

Heavens bear claw that was nasty 

 

 

WOW NICE BEARCLAW

 

 

And then the people calling for his demotion will act like they never doubted him

 

except me Admin. except me. because once he goes into a slump it will return with such a ferocious vengeance.

 

 

Just throw strikes Kyle and that is the result.

 

 

Stanton is our new Jacob Turner. 

 

no. Stanton > turner      as a person and player. but I like your thinking.

 

 

you need contact hitters. dietrich, yelich, ichiro, prado. you also need a bridge. a bopper. and that's what we are missing. ozuna is not a 30 homer guy.

 

Yes he is.  He has plenty of power.

 

 

This is kinda my point. It's perplexing

 

It isn't really. Some of the guys hitting .300 are putting up empty batting averages & the team's best hitter has been garbage. If Stanton would snap out of it already, we would get more runs. We always score more runs when he's hot.

That's my guy! 

 

 

Ichiro bout to catch Stanton in ops 

 

A sampling of players who have a lower OPS than Stanton:

 

Martin Prado

 

JT Realmuto

 

Ichiro

 

Adrian Gonzalez

 

Hanley Ramirez

 

 

Loria should have traded Stanton for a #2 sp while he had the chance. Blew it 

 

 

Yes he is.  He has plenty of power.

 

Trumbo has 20 homers. that's who you need.

 

 

except me Admin. except me. because once he goes into a slump it will return with such a ferocious vengeance.

 

At this point you're just rooting against him to prove you were right all along.  Which you weren't.

but Stanton is NOT the best hitter.

 

 

 

Stanton this December after finishing batting .125

 

 

but Stanton is NOT the best hitter.

 

He used to be. 

 

 

A sampling of players who have a lower OPS than Stanton:

Ichiro

 

Adrian Gonzalez

 

Hanley Ramirez

 

More players with an OPS lower than Stanton:

 

Melky Cabrera

 

Chris Owings

 

Jacoby Elsbury

 

should have traded Stanton when we had the chance

 

 

He used to be. 

 

I rate the best hitter by whose the hottest right now. I view yelich as our go to guy and that call strike 3 was stupid. after the Stanton inevitable strike out with runners on 1 and 2 with 1 out, who knows what ozuna's approach would have been.
