June 28, 20241 yr Won't link but Davy Andrews wrote a fantastical article that is nailing every complaint everyone has about our approach to hitting. After reading this I pretty convinced that Daddy Dix actually knows nothing about baseball, and is misinterpreting data analytics that are spitting out fallacies that knowing anything about the game would easily be the cause of not misinterpreting them or more importantly taken as the be all-end all. John Mabry, Bill Mueller, and Jason Hart should all do the right thing and tender their resignations immediately. If they refused to do so, terminate them with cause.
June 28, 20241 yr Sheesh what an article and really impressive how terrible this team is top to bottom. No idea how mabry keeps his job. In 2023, the Marlins ran the 10th-highest chase rate in baseball. How did they get from there to here? If you look at the moves they made during the offseason, you might honestly come away with the impression that their goal was to break this record. They lost Jorge Soler, Jacob Stallings, and Yuli Gurriel in free agency, non-tendered Garrett Hampson, and traded Jon Berti. If you rank the 2023 Marlins by walk rate, those players took up five of the top seven spots. That’s 40% of the team’s walks gone. To replace them, the Marlins added Christian Bethancourt’s 3.7% career walk rate, Tim Anderson’s 3.8% rate, Gordon’s 4.3% rate, Vidal Bruján’s 6.3% rate, and Emmanuel Rivera’s 7.2% rate. If you sort our career plate discipline leaderboard by chase rate, Bethancourt ranks fourth among all qualified players, ever. Anderson ranks 24th (Avisaíl García, who was already on the team, ranks 18th). It’s like the Marlins were trying to reenact the Recreate Him in the Aggregate scene from Moneyball, but the Him they were talking about was a cat chasing a laser pointer.

June 28, 20241 yr I assume you're talking about this article? https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-marlins-are-chasing-history/ That was tough to post....
