                  THE BASEBALL RABBI PODCAST

 

Welcome to The Baseball Rabbi Podcast - where Pesach Wolicki and Scott Kahn talk sabermetrics and baseball history, with a dose of fandom, fWAR, and Fenway.

Jul 26, 2018

When you think of Andrelton Simmons, you probably think of the phenomenal fielder with the so-so bat. But in 2018, Simmons is doing something amazing at the plate which has, quite simply, never been done before. Join the Baseball Rabbi, Pesach Wolicki, and his hearty sidekick Scott Kahn, for a discussion of why Andrelton Simmons is having - in one statistic - the greatest season in the history of baseball. Also: three short follow-ups on the Orioles' badness, the Manny Machado trade, and why the use of the shift doesn't have anything to do with the league's unusually low batting average.
