For anyone who watches Braves games it’s laughable. Not sure how they come up with OAA, but Acuna is tied for 3rd in MLB for outfield assists this year (3). 1 error (throwing? Can’t remember) in 31 games and I lost count of how many XBH saved by jumping catches at the wall.

Crazy how much you learn from actually watching the games.

I’ve never (once) looked at anyone’s baseball savant page nor have I ever looked at fWar dWar or their xyzWar…yet because I understand baseball and talent, I can judge with my own eyes who the best players in the league are. It’s crazy I know. It’s like I’m a savant.

Defensive statistics have, to me, always been somewhat iffy.

Why do that when you can just look at made up stats after the fact?

Where were you when Kevin Cash pulled Blake Snell in Game 6?

4th outfield assist w that gundown at 3rd base in the 11th. Game winner coming up in the bottom half.

Edit: No game winner. #ThanksPeacock

Best all-around player in baseball. Gun downed an Oriole trying to move up to 3rd base on a deep fly to RF.

I’m having a hard time imaging how good the above average guys are.

Whoa now, Ohtani is we all know this. Ronnie doesn’t pitch but with that cannon he probably could

Debatable.

But yeah, Ohtani is something nobody alive has ever seen before and something we wont ever see again in our lifetime.

comicbooksgo · 05-07-2023, 06:58 PM

Yup, today was a perfect example of his elite level defense. BS has zero credibility if they think Ronald is a below avg defender.
