    In real-time, as the play developed I thought there was no chance he gets to the ball. Then suddenly he was going even faster, and got to it in plenty of time. I think the video voiceover said that was around a 25% play based on time and distance - my eyeball had it even lower than that, so apparently he's slower than I thought.

    His BABIP has been above .400 during the recent stretch Brock mentioned. How much hotter do you expect he'll get? If anything, the BABIP has me tempering my expectations for a while yet. Baby steps for the rest of the first half, at least.

    The game log on bb-ref.com shows Dozier's HR added only 12% to the win probability, while Sano's 2-run jack added 18%. Imagine how large the WPA would have been on a 3-run homer, if Dozier would have just gotten on base. Doesn't speak well to his spirit of team play.

    Thanks for the jinx.

    Say, does anyone know whether the Yankees are playing today? Has Aaron Hicks come up to bat yet?

    Next time clip a Bic pen to his lapel, so he'll think you're using up to date sound equipment.

    You walk the Elephant, and pitch to the Giraffe. Geez, that's an old one.

    Mauer, lol. The A's have no pitching.

    Hank. Aaron Hank. That has a ring to it.

    He can't pick the name of the 2017 AL MVP. Trademarks and so forth. He'll have to choose something else.
  15. ashbury
    Of course not. This is a game thread.

    He still has a long way to go to prove himself as a rightfielder, as well.

    What else would a scout have to go on? You want him to be objective, don't you?
  19. ashbury
    We don't want him ruining our bottom-of-the-order rallies?

    Hm, I am sensing a slight minuscule subtle minor minor minor connection between these two posts.

    Don't look now, but in his last 6 games he's slashing .368/.368/.684.

    On this day one year ago, Dozier was hitting 184 with 3 HR. So, no, I don't want to imagine. / just doing my part...
  23. ashbury
    Yes, very impressive.

    He's the kind of hitter you don't give up on, IMO, until he's had absolutely every opportunity. The ability to really punish a pitch when it's where and how you want it isn't there for just everybody. I remember at Spring Training a couple of years ago, I arrived at the back field to see someone power a ball over the right field fence. "That's Murphy, right?", I asked one of the young men in a Twins uniform on the aluminum bleachers, to confirm what I thought without a roster sheet in hand. "Yeah. He can hit," the guy said in genuine admiration. The players know. That doesn't guarantee success of course; there are a lot of Max Murphys out there, and most still don't make it. Age 24 in high-A isn't good, but still they should stick with him.
