Living the dream. I love you all!

@StevenN23402223 @BBGreatMoments It's mostly defense, but Chipper is also hurt by playing clean in the steroid era.

@BBGreatMoments It's hard to compare the 70/80's to the steroid era. Chipper missed out on a lot of traditional accolades (AS/GG/SS) because his fellow players were cheating the game. Look at the disparity in OPS to OPS+ of these guys.

@OleTimeHardball Fun Fact: George Brett is 12th all-time in XBH while playing 3rd base. Behind guys like Aramis Ramirez, Gary Gaetti, and Even Longoria.

My point is, he played a ton of DH in his career.

Personally, I have 2) Chipper, 3) Mathews, 4) Beltre, then Brett and so on.

@PaddyPhilly @BBGreatMoments @Phillies Those are Mike's 162 averages (which is a silly way to talk about a player who only played 162 in 1 out of 18 seasons), his per season average is actually .267 / 30 / 88... all still very good over 18 seasons. He also had 10 GG.

@CodifyBaseball The lack of context here is frustrating. Being on a great team leads to scoring more runs... no kidding. 85% is still extremely high, but it's nice to see how it compares.
Ohtani (LAD): 318/372 85%
Ohtani (LAA): 428/701 61%
Acuna (ATL): 682/863 79%
Rickey (NYY): 513/596 86%

@ksagendo @allrockmusic Wax Ecstatic is also great.

@LeonSordo2 @BBGreatMoments The post specifically says “at the plate”. Chipper definitely has an argument at the plate. Mike was clearly better in the field.

[Kit Jenson @kitjenson]

@bigb99623 @OleTimeHardball The biggest albatross is easily Ripken (112 OPS+) compared to Ozzie (87 OPS+)... and the defensive gap is far less than most would believe.

[Kit Jenson @kitjenson]

@OleTimeHardball Top Row: 120 OPS+ (145,114,135,87)
Bot Row: 128 OPS+ (134,116,148,112)

I'm taking bottom row for sure. Brett didn't even play 3rd for the last 7 years of his career.

@TodayInSportsCo Hank below Gwynn? That's a bold take.

[Kit Jenson @kitjenson]

@MLBNetwork It's clearly Edwards right now. Wetherholt's is close though. That said, the NL has easily 8 top tier 2B right now. It's wild.

@thefinnmckenty The most precious thing we've lost with our modern discourse is NUANCE. No one wants to have an actual conversation about anything anymore. Discourse is now either you're with us or against us. No room for somewhere in between. It's such a shallow way to view the world.

@SprintsSc The Killers are weirdly more popular in Europe than the States. It’s never going to happen.

@CodifyBaseball There is a reason why fangraphs doesn’t default to RA/9 based WAR, because it’s nonsense.

[Kit Jenson @kitjenson]

@somewheresy Suno does a decent job if you give it a guide track and then apply styles to it.

[Kit Jenson @kitjenson]

@BBGreatMoments If they retired today, neither are hall of gamers. I know that no one wants to hear that, but it’s true. Give each 3 more seasons and they’ll be near locks to get in.
