    I'll puke if an Orlando Arcia home run is the difference.
  2. 82brewcrew82
    One back.
  3. 82brewcrew82
    LOL

    He looks like Beeker with a mop on his head.
  5. 82brewcrew82
    One good at bat. Every other has been absolutely pathetic.
  6. 82brewcrew82
    The swinging attempt wasn't much better.
  7. 82brewcrew82
    On a 2-0 count?
  8. 82brewcrew82
    Nice first inning.
  9. 82brewcrew82
    Considering they'd need to add a bat or two in addition, this could be an expensive trade deadline.
  10. 82brewcrew82
    Didn't say it was. Just saying I hope they don't panic and pay that for a rental, if that was even on the table for Fedde.
  11. 82brewcrew82
    Read somewhere that the Fedde package was built around Wilken. I hope that isn't what they give up for a rental.
  12. 82brewcrew82
    That was one I was hoping for.

    That's fair as long as we agree that, at least in part, your evaluation is subjective. A rudimentary look at things like OPB says Turang is in the lower half of the league (relative to lead-off hitters) and most lead-off hitters with a lower OBP than his make up for it with a much better ability to produce runs. Very few produce a lower wxOBA than Turang. If he can't get out of this tailspin (which, as someone else noted, is far more than 20 games), it looks bleak. The reality is that teams deploy all kinds of different hitters in the lead-off spots with all kinds of different profiles and skill sets and most teams use multiple hitters. Very few hit lead-off as regularly as Turang does and most that do are all-stars. Which is kind of the point. Teams use really good players in the lead-off spot more often than not and usually on of their better hitters. There may not be a ton of options but there are options. Even if there were not, if every hitter is slumping why not shake it up and see what happens? Whats the worst that can happen? Turang hasn't proven nearly enough to just say "let him ride it out".

    That was in response to you citing a single game so right back at ya. As someone else posted, he hasn't been good for a long time, but you go ahead and tell me how to be a fan.
  15. 82brewcrew82
    What stat (or stats) would you use to quantify a given player as a good lead-off hitter, but I suspect you understood the question without that clarification.
  16. 82brewcrew82
    What stat would you prefer?
  17. 82brewcrew82
    6 for 56 coming into this game but yeah, this one game makes the difference.
  18. 82brewcrew82
    Ohtani, Schwaber, Duval and others among them. Not exactly traditional lead-off options. I'd say that their OPS is indicative of their ability to produce and thus worthy of more at bats. Obviously .700 is an arbitrary number but the fact that most teams deploy a lead-off hitter with a number significantly higher than that and that Turang was one of the lowest on the list is contrary to the argument that he is "suited" to lead-off.
  19. 82brewcrew82
    A couple more and I'll feel pretty good about this one. Some much better at bats today.
  20. 82brewcrew82
    I guess the offense has its one big swing for the game. Now its up to the pitching staff to hold it down.
  21. 82brewcrew82
    Turang single-handedly saved that inning.
  22. 82brewcrew82
    His glove, however, is as good as it gets.
  23. 82brewcrew82
    Its about next year but I thought it was a shrewd move.
  24. 82brewcrew82
    More happy with the Myers shut down inning than the Bauers bomb.
  25. 82brewcrew82
    I know, that's why it was in blue.
