@BaseballWRLD_ @domzipfel It's Arraez' defensive and baserunning liability that make the batting average alone not worth it. Hoerner on the other hand adds a ton in both categories and thus is extremely valuable as an above average hitter

@BaseballWRLD_ @domzipfel He said in the replies that BA is a better way to evaluate Hoerner as a hitter than OBP which like...ok? Advanced metrics love guys who hit .300. Same like when people complain about Arraez evals. Arraez has always been >100 wRC+ his entire career despite no power or BBs
English
I have been staring at this post for 10 minutes trying to make sense of it and still can’t. There has never been a post with less of a point
Eric Hosmer@TheRealHoz35
Question for all my new age baseball students out there …… How in 2025 did Nico Hoerner finish 2nd in batting average but 23rd in OBP in the national league? If not drawing walks is your answer please provide his whiff% and provide his contact percentage on swings he made in 2025 and where it ranks amongst NL hitters. @StevenCheah I hate what you’ve done to me but it’s never been more clear the students need their teacher
English
@The_Bronxite @drguzman @MLBPipeline @Yankees @swbrailriders He’s thrown 55.6% of pitches for strikes this year. In his worst year with the Yankees when it all fell apart Aroldis Chapman threw 59.6% of pitches for strikes against MLB hitters with better discipline. I almost feel like I’m being trolled with how stupid your take is
English
@dontfollowclass @drguzman @MLBPipeline @Yankees @swbrailriders I wasn't picking out stats. You specifically stated that Carlos Lagrange can't throw strikes. You are a lying fraud.
English
Carlos Lagrange ⛽️
The @Yankees No. 2 prospect fanned 8 over 3 1/3 frames and flashed triple digits on 27 of his 38 heaters -- reaching 102.4 mph three times -- for the Triple-A @swbrailriders.
English
@The_Bronxite @drguzman @MLBPipeline @Yankees @swbrailriders lol I think you might be on meth because that’s the only way your comment makes any sense
English
@The_Bronxite @drguzman @MLBPipeline @Yankees @swbrailriders Sorry I forgot 2 runs and 6 baserunners in just over 3 innings is actually a good thing. Cherry picking stats you like is actually how baseball is played now. Lagrange is a great prospect with a high ceiling. He also has things he can still prove. And he definitely isn’t “elite”
English
@dontfollowclass @drguzman @MLBPipeline @Yankees @swbrailriders He struck out eight today. Your reply is dumb.
English
@drguzman @MLBPipeline @The_Bronxite @Yankees @swbrailriders Well he’s walked 9 batters in his last 6.2 IP so maybe he can prove he can actually throw strikes
English
English
@thats_bb_suzyn No way your pinned post is about dead bats and then 3 hours later you post that they should call up a 21 year old who just hit .179 with a 38% strikeout rate in Spring Training. Appallingly stupid. Also, believe it or not, you can assess guys in the minors too. Shocker I know
English
The Yankees should call up Lombard now.
I know, I know. But hear me out.
All these rookies are getting extensions, because teams want to grandfather in their contracts before MLB becomes a capped league. We need to find out ASAP if it’s worth giving Lombard a similar deal.

George Lombard Jr. (@Yankees No. 1 Prospect) hits his second HR of the season, a solo shot in the ninth inning.🔥

@MVJUDGE99 Calling Volpe a bitch in all caps for a guy who skipped college because he got drafted by the team he grew up rooting for and has never complained just because a 20 year old is playing well is genuine loser behavior. But hating Volpe in vogue I guess so go off
English
@tomjones745 @MrMuankana @BradC_84 @mansourtarek_ Also funny how advocates say it's not "gambling" to keep it legal, meanwhile the CASINO lobby is ruining them. If the casinos are ruining your product because it's a competitor, it's probably because your product is very obviously gambling and not trading or investment as claimed
English
Casino lobby hard at work.
There is a reason tens of millions of people use regulated prediction markets: it’s a better product.
Banning just pushes this offshore, where no regulation exists.
This bill isn’t about protecting consumers; it’s about protecting monopolies.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
Exclusive: A pair of senators are introducing a law that would prohibit CFTC-regulated entities like Kalshi and Polymarket from listing contracts related to sporting events on.wsj.com/4brWUzV
English
@SKithiyon56925 @mansourtarek_ These "markets" legalized gambling to states that intentionally had not legalized it to protect their people and to people under the age of 21, a particularly vulnerable group. To post this you are either a bot account created by Kalshi or an absolute moron
English
@mansourtarek_ Exactly—when politicians claim they’re “protecting” people, they usually mean protecting entrenched interests. Banning regulated markets doesn’t make gambling safer; it just drives activity to unregulated, riskier platforms where ordinary users have no recourse.
English
@Raymond88814610 @SunsUniTracker @JustBB_Media Deserved 4th in NL MVP voting but not top 10 in the NL West alone that definitely makes sense
English
@activetrader23 @Yankees @LagranCarlos Wouldn't be sending him back because he hasn't been there yet. Kind of the exact reason they might start him in the minors, to get him experience against fringe MLB quality players before taking the leap on him
English
@Yankees @LagranCarlos Sending this guy back to AAA would be completely insane.
English
@DodgerFanFromTX @JomboyMedia Lack of a blue check means you post horrific takes just for the love of the game. I’m kind of impressed
English
@JomboyMedia this is why the ABS should not be a thing. With two strikes you shouldn't be looking for walks. Protect the plate. Be a baseball player!
English
Geraldo Perdomo worked the AB of his life just to be the last out as his team was eliminated
English
@MrEdGetDoughh @Yankees Because he’s hitting .185 with a 36% strikeout rate in spring training?
English
Following today’s game, the Yankees reassigned INF George Lombard Jr. to minor league camp.
English
@YankeeSource He needs to throw more strikes? A guy who only throws 61% strikes as he did in AA will always be a bit down boards even with the stuff because there’s a lot of risk in that profile. Misiorowski had the same massive question. When his command improved that’s when it all clicked.
English
Still don’t understand how Lagrange is ranked so low on some prospect boards. No reason he shouldn’t be higher than arms like Tong.
English
And I know you’re lying. Nobody great at the Show had time to run franchises on MVP ‘05 like a douche bag. Crying about franchise mode with either created players or old ones at this point on PS2 is just bonkers. Enjoy playing backwards and wasting your life. We’re done here twat.
English
@PDQ_Geebz @SamuelBrownRBT Playoffs are what allows worse teams to win championships. Nobody thinks the 07 Giants were better the 07 Patriots. The 2023 WS had the 4th best AL team vs the 5th best NL team. You’re proving the argument you are arguing against
English
@SamuelBrownRBT Everyone knows those odds were so flawed bro. 20 team league and you don’t even have to go to playoffs. It’s not comparable to south Alabama winning it all what so ever. Get a grip.
English
I don’t think people understand that Leicester City winning the Premier League is the equivalent of South Alabama winning the National Championship
There will never be a bigger underdog win a championship in the history of sports

@TARHEEL_Breezy @CLVBetting @GUnit_81 “They can’t let the public get crushed constantly” that is quite literally what happens day in and day out. There’s a reason we have gambling ads shoved down our throat constantly: because the sportsbooks massively beat the public every single day
English
@CLVBetting @GUnit_81 They can’t let the public get crushed constantly or no one would bet the games. You give the public some wins to butter them up then clean house at a later point. There is a reason you can’t gamble with just spots knowledge would be to easy then they know this.

A field goal on 1st and 10 with your team down 10 points with :05 left is a new one.

Raiders +8.5 and over 40.5 both cash on this "meaningless" field goal

@snyyankees Well, now we know why his numbers declined.

Oh Wellsy, Once a promising young bat coming up in the minors…. Now a mid-Defensive catcher with occasional slug and declining.
