Almost like what I said was accurate.

Guy is looking like an epic bust a year+ in. What a $#!+ start to the season. Six more years of guaranteed money, yikes!! The Josh Jones effect strikes again. Just joking, I was worried about the same thing - just hoping he would get it going. Eric Hosmer in the 9 games since April 19 (when this was posted).400 Batting average .432 On Base Percentage .829 Slugging 1.261 OPS 4 Home Runs 3 Doubles Maybe we will finally see the player we thought we had signed. Hey, I hung on to him and didn't drop him on my fantasy team. I celebrate this! LOL

Almost like what I said was accurate. Yep, you are indeed the enlightened one. When it was three weeks, it was too small a sample size and had nothing to do w/ last year (to quote you), but once gets hot for 8 days it's the launch angles, BABIP, exit velocity, etc. all aligning perfectly. Nailed it! That's so good! One thing you have to give Ryan credit for, the guy can twist the stats and analytics to fit any narrative he wants. Such a chamaeleon, I like it.

I used to be a fan of yours, but the attacks aren't very fun. Again, I'm going to explain just like I said - Last year he underperformed. This year, relative to his entire career with KC, his ground ball rate was the lowest ever, his line drive percentage was the highest ever, his launch angle improved dramatically. You add those things together and it creates less weaker contact, which will over time raise the average and power numbers. It's just basic statistics. Same with Franmil Reyes.

Hey man, we always got along well. Going back 10+ years, two board versions. No animosity here, maybe just a little less peering down your eyeglasses Professor style to the class? We get it, you know baseball. Doesn't mean you're always right. Maybe just be a little more open minded to different takes? I mean, otherwise, if you're not interested in other peoples opinions and takes, and you are the only voice of reason, why be on a message board? Certainly you're not here for Bill's bull$#!+ (JK Bill) You're still one of my favorite posters, no question!

If I came off as condescending, I apologize. If you think I'm bad, check out the Padres Facebook community. You'll spend hours banging your head against the wall. All good.

LOL I've been on there, you are right. 100%.
Keep it coming, and post more often. You're one of the good guys!

There is no question that results are not the best predictor of the future. I appreciate Ryan's sharing of advanced stats and what they show.

Hosmer has been lighting it up lately which I thought would be important for the rest of the team to get going offensively. With that said, the Padres are batting .218 as a team. WTF indeed!!

Hedges and Kinsler (albeit playing better the last couple of games with Ian) are hard to navigate around. Offense has been inconsistent. Tatis is missed at the top of the lineup.
