That was smooth, Jazz 😉

Jazz first ever. Take the bag out of the game 

I wish Jazz could have bat flipped that stolen base.

First* career steal Jazz Chisholm! Woo!

*Could have been second.

He could have flipped the base?

anyone else lose audio on mlb.tv?

Learning how to not slide past the base. They're progressing....🙂

That'd be a bag flip.

And that's why it's important that Jszz can at least get his OBP up to around a league average level. Once he's on the bases he's a super dynamic player. If he can play good Defense while doing that then I think long term, we win that trade once Gallen regresses back to earth.

So it's Exit velo, angle, and distance...what's the last stat? expected batting average on that hit? In other words, it's not a perfect 1.000 because there's a .02 change that it would have been caught at another stadium? 

Expected batting average, correct.

Like that ball is absolutely gone at 414 in every park's left field (unless it didn't go high enough to clear the Green Monster at Fenway), but there are cases (perhaps in Detroit) where those exact metrics took place and turned into an out.

I've seen very very few 1.000's.

Haha, I think one of the issues with WAR is the name. Think of it as "amount above average" or something like that. (Super rough calculations coming up) so a guy with 0.0 WAR is the average-est player in the league. A guy with negative WAR is actually bad and potentially costing his team wins. A guy with a huge number (5+) is outstanding. A lot of folks get caught up thinking "okay so he has 5 WAR that means his team will win 5 more games because of him" but that's not how WAR works. But it is statistically-backed and factual, unlike CLIMATE CHANGE WHICH IS JUST THE MEDIA INVENTING THINGS, RIGHT GUYS?

Thanks for the explanation.  I kind of get the gist.  I just see so many people try to use it as an end all be all kind of stat and it drives me nuts.  Lol. Now, on climate change we can agree.  Don't worry, I know you were being sarcastic about that.  Lol

Get this run in

Good job on the SB Jazz! Now just 1405 away from matching Ricky Henderson.

We definitely need Alfaro to continue waking up with the bat.

Jorge said "aight, bet."

He is on the ball tonight and I'm horny.

It's Alfaro's night looks like!

Would have loved to see a bat boy jog over to hand a bat to Jazz just so he could flip it and then pick the bat up and return to the dugout.

Is it happening???!!

PAPAYON Time!!!

Fastest catcher in baseball, go ahead and @ me.

JT who??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

😂

Damn Alfaro. Shutting my ass up. I like it. 

Atta boy Oso!!! Hopefully that Homer got his head back in the game. If that's true, combined with the starting pitching, this is starting to look like one scary team for any team to come in and wit 3/5 or 4/7 against

Speed ball is back!
