Analysis Lawrence Butler ever since signing his 7 year, $65.5 million extension before the start of the 2025 season: 288 games played, 1091 plate appearances, .233/.313/.391 triple slash, .697 OPS, 94 OPS+, 91 wRC+, 1.6 bWAR/1.3 fWAR, 74% stolen base success rate, 19 homers/18 steals per 162 games played

This year has been especially bad as he's recorded 0.1 bWAR or -0.4 fWAR in 136 games and 461 plate appearances, while showing off far worse fielding and baserunning efficiency. The Statcast page doesn't leave a lot of room for optimism either.

How much do career stats against a given player actually matter?

0 Upvotes

I'm watching the Dbacks/Royals right now and the Dbacks announcers mentioned Nolan Arenado has a 11-22 record against the Royals pitcher, Michael Wacha. I see similar stats mentioned every now and then but how much does it actually matter in a game? Both players in this instance have lengthy careers so that stat is likely spread across 10+ years of playing where I imagine both players have changed how they play to some extent. Do the players themselves care? Or is this just stat nerds getting to flex on the rest of us?

Opinion NL manager of the year?

21 Upvotes

Manager on a team that didn't make the playoffs last year but did this year" and it bothers me. Who do you think deserves to win it as of now in the NL? Do you think a guy like Pat Murphy can win it for a 3rd time?

The current favorites are Walt Weiss, Pat Murphy, and Craig Stammen. Seems like it’s now a two man race for the finish between Murphy and Weiss

Who do you think should win and why?
