Diddy Butler Stan ⛄️

@IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal It really bothers you that PCA is the best defensive CF in baseball doesnt it lol

@AcunaPlusButler @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal His depth perception seems pretty bad too. I remember watching him try and rob two hrs 40 feet up the wall last year 😭😭

WAR is now a defunct stat. No sane person who actually watches the games would still say PCA is as valuable as a guy like Turang

@IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal You can take a few bad routes when you read every ball off the bat perfectly!

@AcunaPlusButler @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal Insanely awful with the horrendous routes he takes

@MoBallsDeep @IsaacCollinsROY @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal Its not even the numbers his film is also insane

@IsaacCollinsROY @AcunaPlusButler @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal He literally is. The statistics don’t lie. Hes the best defensive CF in like 2 decades. Not even worth arguing over when the numbers support it

@DallasCroob @IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal You'd think a fan of the gimmick team that does all the little things like defense and baserunning would be able to appreciate PCAs defense but ig not

@IsaacCollinsROY @AcunaPlusButler @MoBallsDeep @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal It's okay lil man, you'll get smart enough one day to understand how metrics work!

@IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal I promise you can appreciate a generational defender even if he's a cub it won't kill you ❤️

@AcunaPlusButler @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal You arent very smart 🥺 it's a real shame

@DallasCroob @IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal Its hilarious how mad he is and its even funnier all the things hes saying about PCA are tracked and factored into OAA

@IsaacCollinsROY @AcunaPlusButler @MoBallsDeep @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal Name calling because your pea brain can't understand metrics

@IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal Please explain how the objective data tracking inflates PCA a lot? He literally gets docked for taking below average routes lmfao

@AcunaPlusButler @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal OAA is a fantastic stat when used properly but they inflate PCA a lot again. Watch him play he takes bad routes all the time. Over runs the ball which forces him to adjust like use your peepers

@IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal The eye test for PCAs defense is incredible lol

@AcunaPlusButler @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal I beg you retards to use your eyes and stop believing advanced analytics just because you're told to

@IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal Its literally not

@AcunaPlusButler @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal Yes and it's a completely subjective stat lmao

@IsaacCollinsROY @MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal You realize OAA factors in your jump right

@MoBallsDeep @DallasCroob @StrikeoftheMind @MiniMegal Idc what made up stats say. I use my eyes. I've seen him multiple times have to change his route or contort his body to make a catch. Start back on balls in that he has to full on sprint to make the catch after and it gets called a "5* catch" they overrate him just like Jeter

@BoltUpDerwin x.com/i/status/20574… They still got him 5 after he got his brains bashed in by Harper meanwhile Sale+Burns have been unhittable for weeks im scared of what the glaze is gonna be when shohei slows down a bit

@AcunaPlusButler Skenes would be the one out of this group I’d be upset with considering he’s already being overhyped atm when he hasn’t been a T3 NL SP Sadly MLB will milk the hell out of him when 17s era regression comes

Ohtani Cy is realistically not happening and that’s okay

@NateStep77 @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets If you think a grand total of 40 inning from 2021-2024 matter i really dont know what to say lmao. He has objectively been an MLB caliber pitcher in Miami its not really up for debate

@AcunaPlusButler @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets Missing the point of saying stuff for guys like Junk who are already 30 is simply not nearly as useful to see (as I stated with Junk’s history so far)

How someone gets shelled and gets "A's" and Elder throws 7 allowing 2ER gets an "F" makes me think this model is broken.

@NateStep77 @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets He had a 3.25 ERA on May 15th. He's had 2 awful starts that are skewing a miniscule sample. He has been a very quality pitcher this year and 2 bad starts doesnt change that no matter what you say

@AcunaPlusButler @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets Junk’s posted a 5+ ERA in the last 15, the xERA can say whatever it is, but he is historically a 4+ ERA pitcher so far in his 200+ innings and 46 games in the majors. If he breaks out and becomes great, I’m more than happy to say otherwise, but stuff ain’t showing nothing rn.

@NateStep77 @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets You people act like teams that invest hundreds of millions of dollars into pitching labs to maximize stuff and pitchers blow their arms out just for the fun of it and not because stuff is the most important aspect of pitching its very very funny

@NateStep77 @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets "Yet again...year to year. Not yearS to year." He went from mediocre in whiffs in 24, to awful in 25, to slightly less awful in 26. What is the point here? Stuff is quite literally the most important thing. Objectively. Its not an opinion. Its also not the only thing

@NateStep77 @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets Bryce Elder has bad stuff and is pitching very well. They arent contradictory idk what the disconnect is here. Nobody says guys with bad stuff cant be productive just like nobody says stuff monsters cant ever be bad. Theres a reason all 30 franchises value stuff above all. Simple

@AcunaPlusButler @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets Sure, you can say that, and yet he’s one of the best pitchers statistically in ERA and WHIP. Again, didn’t say stuff is absolutely useless, but again, a guy like Junk is producing A grade stuff with no production, and Elder is an F grade with production. Simple as that.

@NateStep77 @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets Janson Junk had a 2.82 ERA a week and a half ago and still has a 3.79 xERA and 4.31 FIP. He has a 3.53 FIP in Miami and 3.2 WAR. Its most definitely not useless to use on veterans. We see guys every year breakout because of how good the stuff is

@AcunaPlusButler @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets Now, stuff can be useful for a guy in the minors in predicting development, but guys like Junk are 30 years old with great stuff supposedly, but no production on the field itself. It feels completely useless to use such stats on anybody that isn’t brand new/young.

@NateStep77 @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets And he adds a new pitch and his stuff gets a tad better (it still sucks) and hes an actual MLB caliber pitcher. 92 on the black is way easier to hit than 100 MPH down the middle and its an objective fact

@NateStep77 @BravesStash @PeepMySlashLine @MamdaniMets His whiffs are still well below average and arent even close to his career best mark in 2024. Stuff is the most important part of a modern pitcher and pretending it isn't is just ignorant. Bryce Elder is literally proving this. One of the worst pitchers in baseball for 3 years
