cad300 206 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The hate on this guy earlier in the thread is just baffling....especially when he's had a ton of fluke injuries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cmilne23 10,559 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Not consistent. Will struggle to hit 30 being so inconsistent! Haha one of all time epic fail comments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy_Slippers 3,941 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) BB% up and K% down from last season. He's swinging at less pitches out of the zone and making more contact on those pitches when he does swing at them. The main difference maker is that he has only missed 2 games all season.

Cmilne23 10,559 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 He got pissed Judge stole the show in All Star game. He's taken back mantle of most prestigious slugger in MLB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Id use the ole "Ive forgotten more than most people know", but I dont forget things. I know all too well about highs and lows. His problem is his lows last MUCH longer than his highs. Like I said, No consistency. He never makes the adjustments. Im guessing you havent watched the insane amount of sliders he flails at like hes got his eyes closed. I'm talking the ones you can see arent a strike from the second it leaves the ptichers hand. He makes up his mind to swing and hopes its a fastball. Watched him a few times this year swing and miss at 92 straight as an arrow right down the pipe as well.

And in reality... WOW! Edited August 12, 2017 by brockpapersizer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he stays healthy the majority of the season he's guaranteed to hit 40 HR with a chance to get to 50.

On 4/20/2017 at 10:01 AM, jb_power said: No, just NO. He's never hit 40. He has a season high of 37. Like I said, guarantee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ever. You wanna call it .265/37? Ok, maybe. But you don't have to "get into it." The statistics say this is unequivocally true. Unequivocally true you say? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will say no more on the subject. I never said "nothing more than." I DID say you don't get to call a guy a 40 HR hitter when he never hit 40 HRs. This shouldn't be controversial. Imagine me in 2015 saying "Donald Trump is president." You say, correctly, "no he's not." Then I bump it after he wins and go "See, I told you!" That's the gotcha game you're attempting right now. Try harder. We're all happy for Stanton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will say no more on the subject. I'll own this. I said the same thing. When I drafted him this I pegged him for 30-35. I try to have realistic expectations in getting to the rotos I think are necessary to win my league. This season has even exceeded my wildest dreams. You've been a big believer for awhile though. Respect for staying true to your beliefs even when he gave reasons to waver. This is the year many have been dreaming of since he came into the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
