@Orange_BlackPod We aren’t talking about football where you just can be a defender. As the great Mays once said in MLB you have to be a complete player. Play defense, offense, run the bases, and have versatility. One aspect doesn’t do shit
@Orange_BlackPod There isn’t an MLB team that wouldn’t want Webb or Ohtani. Outside of Cleveland needing a backup catcher or maybe a late game defensive replacement. There isn’t a single MLB team that views Bailey as a starter. That is the most important stat for you book
@Orange_BlackPod Sorry I can’t continue a conversation with someone who puts Bailey in the same discussion as Bonds, Ohtani, Witt, and 90% of other MLB players.
@Orange_BlackPod Not because the giants gave up more runs than they scored. Bailey is in Cleveland playing for another catcher who thinks he is a backup. Guess that makes two former catchers he doesn’t impress
@Orange_BlackPod Bro come on I know you are Patrick, I can help you learn to hit. First thing is you're not a switch hitter, try to hit from one side of the plate and make adjustments with that first. Once you get over .270 from one side you could switch in BP before games so you can pretend
@Orange_BlackPod this metric is so dumb Ohtani isn't even on it. Advanced metrics mean nothing if you can't win just ask the A's. Do you think people would still talk about Willie Mays today just because he was one of the best defensive players of all time if he hit career .190 avg, with 8HR
@Orange_BlackPod exactly but it does matter if Bailey is in your lineup and you score 0 runs because of him and the other team scores 1. See how that argument works
@Orange_BlackPod Patrick Bailey will be handing out his broken bats across AAA after games to the young kids that will cherish those. That is about the biggest contribution to the game he has remaining.
@GarlicFryRy@GiantHotTakes It could be interesting if the Giants win more without them or go on a run without those 8 outs out of 27 a game Adames and Chapman guarantee in the lineup
@Orange_BlackPod fact is the guy on in your face metrics sucks hitting below .200 only 3-4 HR a year, low OBP. Come on you don't think the minor leagues is loaded with good defensive catchers that can't hit some varsity high school pitchers? Defense alone doesn't make you an MLB player
