Keep in mind that when the Mets got Bruce, I noted that while he was having a fine 2016 up to that point, in the prior two years he averaged about .220 (.217 and .226), at ages 27 and 28 in a hitter's park. <br /><br />I hoped we'd get the good Jay Bruce, but so far, we've gotten the bad jay Bruce. And the bad Jay Bruce can be pretty bad.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-42365039799339473642016-09-15T11:16:53.565-04:002016-09-15T11:16:53.565-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.bgreg98180https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641039400307113366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-71503215556362223302016-09-15T11:16:16.038-04:002016-09-15T11:16:16.038-04:00Flaw in Alderson's vision:

One is on 3rd. One out.<br />Granderson at bat with the struggling Bruce and a rookie to follow in the order.<br />Granderson walks to load the bases. YAY for OBP!<br />Result no runs.<br /><br />Let's imagine 3 instances of similar situations occur for a player.<br />If he walks all 3 times.....Great for OBP.<br /><br />If however, he goes 1 for 3 in those situations his OBP is much less....<br />BUT..<br />at least one run scores and one out of 3 games has a much better chance to score the extra run or runs that the team needs to win.<br />bgreg98180https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641039400307113366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-31807904589526354912016-09-15T11:14:53.705-04:002016-09-15T11:14:53.705-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.bgreg98180https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641039400307113366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-59274226924689551202016-09-15T10:02:18.383-04:002016-09-15T10:02:18.383-04:00May everyone on the other teams collide, Reese, so...May everyone on the other teams collide, Reese, so we can magically find our way back to the WS.<br /><br />Three teams that really want it: Giants, Cards, Mets combined for 1 run yesterday.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-21263150494570351732016-09-15T09:52:32.743-04:002016-09-15T09:52:32.743-04:00You left out Aledmys Diaz and Buster Posey having ...You left out Aledmys Diaz and Buster Posey having a collision at the plate.
