🚨 Introducing Lumber+! My Statcast-based hitter skill model is LIVE and FREE to use. Designed to measure talent rather than production, it's scaled so 100 = league average and each standard deviation = 5.

🧵Here's more on how it works with a link at the end:

"He hasn't done it yet so we can't give him the chance to now" is .... something

@john73904854193 I think it’s just the pants lol

Jac Caglianone doesn’t need to be great against LHP. He just needs to remain enough of a power threat to warrant a spot in the lineup each night.

He has a higher career HR rate (4.3%) against LHP than against RHP (2.5%).

ALL ABOARD

@PetsandPucks It’s always interesting how logic and reason outperform emotions

[Royals Data Dugout @RoyalsData]

Hmmm I wonder if a tight hammy is why … never mind.

Maikel Garcia left Saturday's game with a right hamstring strain. #Royals

Four against one is how this entire season has felt.

[Anne Rogers @anne__rogers]

An anthem standoff is currently happening between Royals starter Noah Cameron and Rangers pitchers Nathan Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom, Jack Leiter and Tyler Alexander.

Lumber+ update! Bumped minimum plate appearances to 100, and we can be reasonably confident in grades for players with 200+ PA.

The rookies at 52-54 are super impressive 👀

Let’s not retcon this now. Even with the series he’s having, he’s got a 66 wRC+. He’s trended down in back to back years since his awesome ‘24.

If JJ made that trade, and gave up legitimate prospect capital to do it, y’all would be absolutely killing him for it.

[Royals Data Dugout @RoyalsData]

Red Sox give away an out and the Royals are more than content to give it right back.

Wacha varying the weapons tonight. Changeup is at 16% (14 pitches) — it’s generated a 43% CSW with five whiffs on eight swings for four punchouts. Delicious.

@vikesroyal @jtpenfield I’ve now fooled exactly one person into thinking I’m baseball smart

[Tom Timmons @Ttimmons1980]

@RoyalsData is there a single baserunning stat or metrics that shows the Royals do things well?

The outs on the bases just feel absurd

My honest opinion here is that the “bad” will always stand out more to us than the “good” when it comes to baserunning.

No one remembers getting an extra base going first to third. Everyone remembers getting thrown out at second trying to push it.

[Tom Timmons @Ttimmons1980]

@RoyalsData Is it fair or unfair to ask how many of these have been created by someone not named BWJ?

@RoyalsData This feels like one of those that doesn’t track to my eyes.

[Royals Data Dugout @RoyalsData]

@JBKC05 Great way to put it.

[Royals Data Dugout @RoyalsData]

Honestly, fine by me. I’d rather him be healthy than give the team an extra two baserunners over the course of 162 games.

[depressed seth lugo @TheMFinKC]

@RoyalsData People have accused him of not hustling to first for his entire career.
