Did he just have a magic weekend or did he read the scouting report for once?
Last night seemed like the same song and dance all season.

I like Royo at 2B and we don't really have another option there. I hope the coaches work with him (similar to what they did with Bindy). He has had some really bad PAs lately, swinging at some really bad pitches. I hope he can work through that....aeroag14 said:
Binderup had a great weekend. But I still think that a healthy Kash is more consistent at the plate and far less error prone in the field.
If we can get Kash and Sorrell fully healthy and able to play in the field, I think that allows for the best iteration of our lineup.
TK
LaViollete
Hensler
Sorrell
Bear
Kent
Schott
Kash
Royo

Baseball is so much more a game of averages than other sports. That's why we play so many games. You can't isolate one game and say "that's typical"; you have to have more data and look for patterns.
You're looking at one game out of the last five. He was great in four of them. Don't go jumping to conclusions.

He's played appreciable time in 18 games, not 30. Half of those games were at the beginning of the season. He's played 9 since he came into the regular lineup again. Since that time, he's batted .250 (not excellent, but also not terrible) with 5 walks and totaled 15 RBI.Muktheduck said:ensign_beedrill said:

Unfortunately you're looking at 4 games out of the last 30. What happened in the other 26 is probably typical
You get the point though. Last weekend was probably an outlier when you look at the rest of this season.ensign_beedrill said:He's played appreciable time in 18 games, not 30.

I'm not saying the trend will continue, but I'm tired of seeing yet another thread to pile on a guy who had one bad night after a good week and who seems to be improving. Baseball is just like that sometimes.

I would think that the radical change to his batting stance might indicate that prior results are not going to be a perfect indicator of future performance. Maybe this weekend was an aberration, but it's not like all other factors remained unchanged. We've seen it happen before (I seem to recall Jonathan Moroney getting glasses mid season and resulting in a major change of direction statistically).Fquin said:ensign_beedrill said:

If you want to look at the patterns, it shows that he's been good in only 4 games and horrible in way more games than that. According to his patterns, yesterday was more of his norm. But, I still hope he can change that narrative and become a viable DH or pinch hitter when Kash comes back.

Jump all the way through conclusions to the wild side is the TexAgs motto…
Baseball is a game that tracks stats religiously which usually are more indicative of likely performance against similarly talented teams. But not all teams can be similarly talented…twk said:I would think that the radical change to his batting stance might indicate that prior results are not going to be a perfect indicator of future performance.
