Jeffress having a rough go again

Is Bellinger the worst playoff batter ever? How would one determine that?

Another suspensful game... def above average playoffs from what I've seen!
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 03:08 (five years ago) link
some real craziness with small sample sizes in these playoffs

Jeffress ain't pitching great but the BABIP against him has been like .800
― frogbs, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 03:33 (five years ago) link
He was the victim of some dink hits in game 2 that's for sure
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 03:35 (five years ago) link
hard to be too down on him, he did strike out 2 in the 9th. the AB vs. Puig was weird...must've really thought he was gonna chase that inside pitch but he didn't bite
― frogbs, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 03:45 (five years ago) link
That last 97 mph fastball on the outside corner was the pitch of a reliever who has all the confidence in the world (although Kratz framed it perfectly), I think Jeffress passed a hurdle.

jeffress is so fun to watch, dont know how he doesnt pass out, he's always breathing so hard.

The mental aspect seems to apply to both sides here. when guys like Knebel and Hader are rolling the way they are you can see it in the batters' approach - they're just wildly swinging and trying to fight pitches off, striking out on pitches that are 6 inches out of the zone because they feel they just have to guess. Jeffress on the other hand looks pretty mortal right now, and I wonder if his postseason struggles caused Puig to suddenly show patience with that inside pitch that he often strikes out on.

cody bellinger, career postseason
22 G, 15-for-92, .176/.239/.353, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 7 BB, 34 K
this season he's 1-for-21 with 5 K and has been brutally unlucky -- .063 BABIP
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 18:43 (five years ago) link
This is far better than I imagined.

he's due, as my dad usta say

feels like either of these teams is going to have trouble beating either the red sox or the astros
― na (NA), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 18:55 (five years ago) link
i want to know how many players have played 75+ games at both first base and center field in one season, as bellinger did this year
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 19:00 (five years ago) link
Brad Wilkerson?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 19:20 (five years ago) link
brutally unlucky -- .063 BABIP
I would think 16 AB would be a small enough sample size to not really confirm whether he's been unlucky or not.

How about his major league record 28 strikeouts in last year's playoffs?

Counsellโs already got Peralta warming up
Itโs 1-0 after 1
― frogbs, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 01:33 (five years ago) link
To me--sorry to harp on this--that all goes back to game one. These guys, rich as they are, are human beings, not automatons. How can you pitch if you think your manager's just waiting for an excuse to get you out of the game? So you go for a ball you shouldn't have gone for, and then, instead of admitting you're hurt, you make a transparently misguided attempt to keep pitching.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 01:55 (five years ago) link
Love you Peralta.

I dunno about that clem, pitchers always go for balls like that
feel like Gio was told during Game 1 that he was only gonna go at most once through the lineup
― frogbs, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 02:32 (five years ago) link
21 AB is too small a sample to confirm that he sucks; considering he has a (n above-average) career .306 BABIP in 1180 regular-season PA, i don't think it's unfair to call him unlucky within the 2018 playoff sample

Watched game 2 with my father who was in town and he mentioned that Moustakas, Braun & Yelich all grew up in LA as diehard Dodgers fans.

such weird kerning on the Brews jerseys

this is just the same inning over and over again
― frogbs, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 04:10 (five years ago) link
16 AB before tonight where he put the ball in play. I would think in small sample sizes that it's more common for an average to be low because a batter was making weak contact, not hitting em where the ain't, etc.

Wait, is this actually the same inning over and over again?

ok, now Aguilar needs to hit a line drive off of machado's balls that then richochets into the stands for a HR
