    I mean who else would be the padres finest? That team had one of the worse collapses I've ever seen

    Machado had a career year. Probably gonna win the gold glove and maybe platinum even over Nolan. Musgrove was great same with cronenworth. Rest of the team swung noodles. And don’t get us padre fans started on hosmer

    I don’t think a guys 5th best full season out of like 7 counts as a career year.

    I mean 2nd highest rbi total if im not mistake not to mention how crazy he’s been defensively this year.

    Plus he's dirty and will never be in the HOF. He's a chump.

    If you legit think machado is a dirty player you watch baseball via YouTube compilations and have zero credibility

    Oh ok so literally the most meaningless, team-dependent, and lineup spot dependent stat there is lmao. His 122 wRC+ is his 4th best (the others being 135, 131, and 141) in a full season, out of 7 full seasons. And he’s been good defensively, but nothing crazy. He’s 8th in UZR and tied for 8th in DRS among 3B this year, as well as 7th in Fangraphs’ Def among 3B. He was astronomically better defensively in 2013, and was better in 2014, 2015, and 2016 too.

    Ugh, I can't stand when people say RBIs are meaningless. If they were meaningless then why are the top players in RBIs 5 of in history 5 of the best players in history? Advanced stats are obviously valuable and I'm not arguing that rbis carry more weight. I actually agree that Machado was good not great this year. But the Padres had an awful offense this year compared to last and Machado was a bright spot. Yes, RBIs require good obp from the guys in front but to dismiss the process of successfully hitting with guys on base is fairly off center.

    Good hitters are generally going to have higher RBI totals. That’s just natural. There’s a lot of amazing hitters that end up with much lower rbi totals than worse hitters though, due to no fault of said amazing hitter.

    For instance, Harper had the highest wRC+ in baseball this year at 170. He only had 84 RBI though. Adam Duvall had a 103 wRC+ this year, meaning he was just barely above league-average. He had 113 RBI.

    There’s nothing wrong with mentioning a guys RBI total along with other stats, but it should never be used as the justification for a hitter being good or not.

    Yep. Look no further than Harper for a reason not to fully rely on RBI as a main point in a player discussion. Fact is if Harper had more than 2 quality teammates, he easily has 100 RBI. Its amazing that literally 3 offensive players (Harper, JT, Segura) got the Phillies as close to a playoff spot as they did. The rest of that offense is not good

    I agree with that. It is definitely not the end all on great hitters. Trout for instance has never had more than 111 rbis. I certainly wouldn't say Duvall was better this year than Trout any year much less his best.

    It's definitely a contextual stat. Certainly not meaningless but also not the ultimate barometer.

    Yes, agreed, I jumped on the meaningless designation but I do agree it is reliant partially on the lineup around that player.

Its amazing that literally 3 offensive players (Harper, JT, Segura) got the Phillies as close to a playoff spot as they did. The rest of that offense is not good

    Exactly. Another big reason Harper had less RBI than someone like Duvall is because of his 23.2 BB% with RISP. He had a .488 OBP with RISP as well, compared to Duvall’s .367 OBP and 5.7 BB%. Also, 25 of Duvall’s 38 HR were with runners on base. Only 8 of Harper’s 35 HR were with runners on base.

    You can’t say it was because Harper wasn’t “clutch” either, because he still had a .977 OPS in high leverage situations. The thing is, that OPS is comprised of a .577 OBP and .400 SLG, with that OBP being so high due to his 36.5 BB% in those situations (along with his .300 AVG as well). Just for some context, Harper saw 222 pitches in high leverage situations this year. Of those 222, 124 were balls and 98 were strikes. Compare that to his insane 2015 season, when he saw 248 pitches comprised of 112 balls and 136 strikes, which really gives you an idea of just how much he was pitched around in 2021.

    So yeah, even when Harper did have RISP or even just runners on base, he was pitched around much more than someone like Duvall would be, resulting in the much higher BB% with fewer RBI.

    Probably going to win the gold glove and plantinum glove??? You do realize that Austin Riley posted a better defensive season than Machado did by all meaningful metrics!!! The only stat Machado has over Riley is errors and Riley had 1 more than Machado with more chances. Every other stat Riley has Machado. So if you think Machado is better than Arenado than by your logic Riley is better than both at least this year he was. Go look it up. Oh and Riley’s offensive season was also better than Machado’s according to all meaningful metrics.

    It's definitely a contextual stat. Certainly not meaningless but also not the ultimate barometer.

    I also want to mention that wRC+ doesn't take into account situational stats. It’s a bulk stat metric. Duval was a significantly better hitter in situations which one would consider to be clutch situations such as at bats with runners in scoring position and runners on third with less than 2 outs and batting average in 2 out situations with runners on base. wRC+ only looks at the end numbers results so it bases it formula on his stats when his at bats have less meaning. I’ll take a guy who comes up clutch in the most meaningful moments in the game than the guy who goes 2-3 at the plate but flies out or strikes out with runners on and the game on the line.

    Hahaha, I wasn't the one arguing in favor of Machado. I would give Riley or Arenado the better season easily.

    I just wanted to point out that while not the end all on greatness, RBIs are far from meaningless. I wasn't comparing it favorably to wRC+ which I believe is an incredibly valuable stat.

    You would have a very bad team if you’d willingly choose a guy with a 103 wRC+ over a guy with a 170 wRC+

    The guy with a 170 wRC+ will always be more valuable to his team than an essentially league-average hitter, period.

    Machado had a career year. Probably gonna win the gold glove and maybe platinum even over Nolan. Musgrove was great same with cronenworth. Rest of the team swung noodles. And don’t get us padre fans started on hosmer

    I don’t think a guys 5th best full season out of like 7 counts as a career year.

    I mean 2nd highest rbi total if im not mistake not to mention how crazy he’s been defensively this year.

    Austin Riley had more RBI’s than Machado

    2nd highest of HIS career.

    Ugh, I can't stand when people say RBIs are meaningless. If they were meaningless then why are the top players in RBIs 5 of in history 5 of the best players in history? Advanced stats are obviously valuable and I'm not arguing that rbis carry more weight. I actually agree that Machado was good not great this year. But the Padres had an awful offense this year compared to last and Machado was a bright spot. Yes, RBIs require good obp from the guys in front but to dismiss the process of successfully hitting with guys on base is fairly off center.

    Good hitters are generally going to have higher RBI totals. That’s just natural. There’s a lot of amazing hitters that end up with much lower rbi totals than worse hitters though, due to no fault of said amazing hitter.

    For instance, Harper had the highest wRC+ in baseball this year at 170. He only had 84 RBI though. Adam Duvall had a 103 wRC+ this year, meaning he was just barely above league-average. He had 113 RBI.

    There’s nothing wrong with mentioning a guys RBI total along with other stats, but it should never be used as the justification for a hitter being good or not.

    I agree with that. It is definitely not the end all on great hitters. Trout for instance has never had more than 111 rbis. I certainly wouldn't say Duvall was better this year than Trout any year much less his best.

    It's definitely a contextual stat. Certainly not meaningless but also not the ultimate barometer.

    I also want to mention that wRC+ doesn't take into account situational stats. It’s a bulk stat metric. Duval was a significantly better hitter in situations which one would consider to be clutch situations such as at bats with runners in scoring position and runners on third with less than 2 outs and batting average in 2 out situations with runners on base. wRC+ only looks at the end numbers results so it bases it formula on his stats when his at bats have less meaning. I’ll take a guy who comes up clutch in the most meaningful moments in the game than the guy who goes 2-3 at the plate but flies out or strikes out with runners on and the game on the line.

    Alright bro we get it braves still getting bounded by the brewers anyways

    You would have a very bad team if you’d willingly choose a guy with a 103 wRC+ over a guy with a 170 wRC+

    The guy with a 170 wRC+ will always be more valuable to his team than an essentially league-average hitter, period.

    Well we see where teams like the Padres, Phillies, Reds, Angels, and Blue Jays ended up with guys that had season that were considered to be 30-70% better than league average offensively. Like. I said there is a big difference between a guy that performs when it matters than someone who just fills the stat sheet and has a good season but goes home after the final game in September. I’m pretty sure the measure of a seasons success is not what an individual players does but what a team as a collective whole does. And that means going to the playoffs and hopefully coming home with the Championship in November. Bryce Harper, Manny Machado and Mike Trout are great individual players but are not great historically at propelling their teams to higher aspirations and this may or may not be through any fault of theirs but to this argument they are ultimately failing at the ultimate goal. Atlanta may not have many elite offensive performers (based on your argument of what is considered to be elite) but the sum is greater than the parts. Need we look any further than Tampa. One of the lowest payrolls in baseball. Their offensive metrics (not including this year as they have taken a significant step forward offensively this year) we’re league average at best but for some reason they perform at a much higher level overall. Both of these teams are cohesive and gel together on the field. They have great locker rooms and their franchises/organizations promote a winning atmosphere and the coaching/administration/scouting staffs hold themselves accountable when things go wrong. That is more important than any individual stat period.. Have a good day!!!

    I mean who else would be the padres finest? That team had one of the worse collapses I've ever seen

    Machado had a career year. Probably gonna win the gold glove and maybe platinum even over Nolan. Musgrove was great same with cronenworth. Rest of the team swung noodles. And don’t get us padre fans started on hosmer

    I don’t think a guys 5th best full season out of like 7 counts as a career year.

    Plus he's dirty and will never be in the HOF. He's a chump.

    If you legit think machado is a dirty player you watch baseball via YouTube compilations and have zero credibility

    Riiiiight. I've seen him play. Thank you.

    I watched Machado play hundreds of games as an Orioles fan in Baltimore and outside of the dirty plays he is a clean player that doesn't always hustle. But the dirty plays he has made make him dirtier than most players. He is gifted talent (as was ARod), but that doesn't make him a clean player.
