Insanely good defense
Insanely good defense
Season's only half over (game 82 is next up as of writing this), yet my Angels team here already has over 200 hits robbed

Re: Insanely good defense
That's quite a stat. I would have thought your win-loss record would be better. I always build at least one team in a league that has great defense. I usually make the playoffs with that team and then get crushed by a good hitting team once I get there.
Re: Re: Insanely good defense
Yeah, the Orioles team was 82-80, but made it through 2 rounds of playoffs to the World Series before going down.
Re: Insanely good defense
It's worth mentioning that the cost of the defense prowess is that our lineup has been VERY underwhelming, which would explain the lackluster record
Re: Insanely good defense
Finally did it
Topped 400 hits robbed 😬

Interestingly enough, Erstad is only 2 hits robbed away from me having 2 players with 100+ hits robbed on the same team, and there's still a few games to go

Re: Re: Insanely good defense
Awesome achievement but it cracks me up when I see that a catcher has a hit robbed , did he jump in front of the batter before he could hit it lol And to the peanut gallery , yes he used his arm to throw the guy out at 1st
Re: Insanely good defense
Well….. maybe the batter laid down a bunt or the batter had a swinging bunt and the catcher made a tremendous play to get to the ball and throw the batter out. Happens often.
Re: Insanely good defense
Whats funny is that all that defensive value definitely has had a major impact on the pitching staff too: out of all 12 pitchers (both SPs and RPs), the highest individual ERA out of all of them is 3.32 from the lowest ranked RP Matt Andriese (42 rank). That's actually very impressive that the entire pitching staff benefited so much from a stellar defense lol
