:hmmm:

He's the como of, well, just about everything.

Wasn't Hosmer 4 for 5 tonight? Isn't he hitting like .315 or something like that?


Good God, you make como and bambi look smart sometimes.

Alright ladies, I'm back after a week+ vacation. I did manage to watch last nights 8-2 win in one of the most unique sports bars in the United States....

Nice try, dildo. Hosmer has as many HR as you and I do in 80AB, with a .392 slug. That ranks him 29th among all 1B with more than 20 plate appearnances. (There are 30 teams).

Take 30 seconds to pull up the actual facts before you embarrass yourself.

What part of his post was wrong? The avg was a hair off

I think he's just mad about his lack of homers.

Welcome back Lewdog

There goes Esky's awesome hitting.

Why are you setting it for 20 PA? That includes part-time and platoon guys. Just curious. If you want to talk about there being 30 teams and rank things that way, you should limit the discussion to actual starting 1B.

Eric Hosmer currently has a higher slugging percentage than Chris Davis, Prince Fielder, Edwin Encarnacion and Joe Mauer. He's just 20 points behind Miguel Cabrera, who's currently slugging .412.

My point: None of these numbers are guaranteed or even likely to stay where they are. It's a small sample size.

Hosmer needs to hit the ball with more authority. But calling him out as a problem when there are many more glaring problems seems odd to me.

Its too bad the mods don't lay the ban hammer down on PB like they did in the Jayhawks thread. That thread was nothing but idiocy and trolling, and was being abandoned by the regulars. Now actually has decent, meaningful conversation.

I eliminated guys with <20 PA because they're not regulars, he was 29/44 in that list. 60 PA gets you to 29 guys so we can go with that. He is 22/29 there. He and Yonder Alonso are the only ones without a HR. Indisputably he is not hitting with any power. That was my only point.

You said he was back and swinging like a girl. You obviously don't watch, because if anything he is swinging too hard. Same problem he has had in years past. When he's short and compact to the ball, he mashes. His swing seems a little long to me.

Also, duncan put you in your place with actual numbers. Not that it was surprising. I just can't figure out how you get any joy out of being made to look a fool constantly.

Overall though, I realize you're just being you. Your life must be miserable for you to always be such an whiny and pompous prick. Is there anything that you enjoy other than trolling?

Welcome home son

No he didn't, he agreed with me: Hosmer needs to hit the ball with more authority. He just pointed out it's a small sample size so far.

It is ok to have different opinions. I think Hosmer needs to hit with more power as an AL first baseman. I respect your opinion if you disagree with my statement.
