Can Lindor get to 30-30?

[Bob Alpacadaca]

He's got 23 homers and 21 steals. Seven homers in about six weeks is tough, but he's on a tear. Batting between Nimmo and McNeil, he's got some protection. He's getting on base enough to try for the bags if he stays hot.



What do you think?

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure it's where his focus is, but it's certainly in play.



I think it's been a weird year, as base-stealing is spiking around the league — as was the goal — but teams and managers haven't yet fully re-learned how to translate the stolen base into runs.

If teams can't convert stolen bases into runs, blame the hitters, not the thieves. Anyways, Lindor is stealing 'em at a 90%+ clip this year.

[Edgy MD]

I didn't blame the thieves.

I know. My point was that there's no mystery if stolen bases aren't translating into runs. It's from lack if hitting or timely hitting. Which is either randomness or a lack of hitting

It's going to take some time for these players to relearn situational hitting, and forget all of the analytics crap.

Stolen base #22, 8/22.

We got 24-22!

People loved to be pissed off at shit. I hope they had a nice flight and the movie selection was good.
