Plus he seems like a good dude so I am sure that there is a clubhouse aspect of it. Catchers call the game. Maddux literally made Perez a career and now a coach just because he liked how he called a game. Perez was literally Mad dogs personal catcher for YEARS. The second most important position in baseball. AUTiger7222, falconsd56 and blizzard_falcon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzard_falcon Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Yeah, several of those calls Lester was so livid about just were not strikes. Though kudos for Molina for making them look better than they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His wRC+ and OPS+ are both below league average. His offensive runs value is -0.6. There's absolutely nothing positive about Adam Duvall's offense in the 2021 season. He does not "make the Braves lineup much better and deeper" as the folks I was talking with yesterday claimed. Abraham Almonte's wRC+ is 106, just for the record. Yeah dude, you're wrong. He's not some savior or anything, but he's a league average hitter with pop and great defense. He makes the team better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good teams like the Dodgers don't trade for the likes of Adam Duvall and call them "upgrades that make the team better." It's ludicrous anyone would pass off Adam Duvall as an upgrade when every offensive metric there is has him below league average. The only reason Adam Duvall doesn't have a negative WAR this year is because of his defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a vast majority of the fan base I come into contact with on Twitter were drooling over the possibility of adding Byron Buxton despite his career .247 average and .298 OBP. Something about the fan base and their overwhelming love for players that can't get on base but because they hit a few homeruns they love them. Abraham Almonte has been a better offensive player that Adam Duvall this year. That's how bad Duvall has been offensively this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he is too but the talking points he just used is the same one everyone uses to defend Duvall. Homeruns. OMG!! I get so freaking sick of hearing about homeruns. Baseball and hitting is so much more than homeruns. Look at Tony Gwynn or Wade Boggs. They wouldn't exist in 2021 with the way everyone obsesses over homeruns. It's like Dansby Swanson. I wish Swanson would hit fewer homeruns and add 30-40 points to his batting average. It would make him a much more valuable hitter. I absolutely despite players like Adam Duvall who either hit homeruns or strikeout without anything in between. There's a reason that every offensive metric there is rates Duvall as below league average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTiger7222 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Javier Baez just deked the crap outta Alex Jackson. Throw beat him by a mile but Baez swimmed around the tag. 2-0 Mets. And before I can finish typing this sentence a comebacker to the mound and Zach Thompson throws it into CF and it's now 3-0 Mets. Marlins finally get a double play and get out of the inning. But 3-0 Mets going to the bottom of the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTiger7222 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Alex Jackson just doubled. He's now got 2 hits (double, homerun) in 9 PA as a Marlin. He had a total of 3 hits in 50 PA as a Brave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
