re: Why does KRob even play

Pap is a 6'3 195lb switch hitting beast. He was one of the best high school players in the country. Its very hard to find a catcher with his potential
Why can't the same be said for KRob? Do only 6'3 195 lb catchers have the potential to get better?

That's the other thing. We're so freaking deep this year instead of arguing about benching JaCoby we're arguing about who to pinch hit.

Relative to what?
Relative to Kramer.
Foster has a .929 fielding percentage and 4 errors
Kramer has a .950 fld% and 2 errors in about half the starts
Im okay with Foster's play at 2B.. especially with his 7hrs
BOOM

11 is half of 12? Interesting math.
ETA: I'm not arguing for him to start as Foster's bat has to be in the lineup. But lets not pretend he is a good defender.

Good call. You need to understand it for yourself first.

I don't know the exact amount of starts at second for both players, but Kramer has joined a few games and played 2B after not getting the "start". Regardless Foster has played a good amount of innings at second base and has done a fair job relative to KR. Perhaps you should look up the number of inning played by both of them, as if it matters 
Posted on 3/29/15 at 4:43 pm to High Life
It matter becuase you're the one who brought stats into this.
And now you're trying to crawfish away as if they suddenly don't matter.

I took the 12 seconds to look it up, so I do.

I know you probably don't realize it, but this is actually an argument against your point.

Y'all realize KRob was in because of an injury right?

11 starts each. 20 assists for Kramer, 24 for Foster. Foster has a significantly higher number of PO, but the stats index doesn't break down by defense further than cumulative stats. Foster has an additional 9 starts split between LF/RF.
ETA: prior to today's game.

Because Fraley was hurt? Did you watch the game?

Im trying to admit that I do not know the exact amount of plays that each player has had to make. Thats the whole point of the fielding %. I never once said Foster is a better fielder than Kramer, but he has done a fine job relative to Kramer.

FWIW, you can't count the balls he has bounced to Chinea on attempted double plays since you can't assume the out... unless the runner advances.

FWIW you can argue that Chinea should've made the scoop. Again, I never said he was perfect
Posted on 3/29/15 at 5:07 pm to High Life
I argue that all the time.
Another FWIW for you... Sciambra has greatly improved from his sophomore/junior seasons to this year. .260 to .380 hitter. And look at Foster, too. Sub .200 to .350. It's not just freshman who can get better. Hell, sometimes they get "worse".

Kramer does have time to improve and I hope he does. I just don't think he has a spot in this years lineup at all. I also don't think he has the same potential as Papeirski. 2B will be his position to lose next year

The real question is why you don't bunt one of your worst hitters with runners on 1st and second with no outs. That's the real fricking question.
If you were paying attention to the way the corners were crashing on the bunt attempt, I think pulling the bat back and swinging is the right call. The corners were in front of the pitcher by the time the ball reached the plate and second and short busted to cover 1st and 3rd. All Robinson had to do was get the ball on the ground anywhere and it would have been a base hit.

Then why trash the kid? He lost his spot because Foster is mashing. Comes in due to injury and goes 1-3 with a triple, BB, and scores 3 runs? Not incredible, but solid. Are you mad because he struck out with an opportunity to win the game? That can be said for an awful lot of our players this year, including Foster on the previous at bat. I just don't get the hate for this kid. Direct your criticism where it belongs -the head man.
